"The commercialism of yoga, the commercialism of Ayurveda, the commercialism of guru-ism, is difficult. It's difficult because it confuses, it confuses the general populations as to what this is all about, but yet those of us who are trained within a certain tradition, who trained from the ancestral gene bank, so to speak, it is fine, it's not bothersome at all because we must live."
"The human being has enormous resources in the power to heal. And in those resources lie things that we ourselves need to clear or feel."
"I always suggest to women to take time away from the norm. And that takes a lot of courage. Most people can't do that, they can't loose and run, and say, 'Look, I'm going to just have an entirely new environment, devoid of all the habitual concerns of the day.'"
"Suffering comes from not understanding or a full potential or full powers within ourselves to heal, to nurture, to nourish."
"When we look at things as simple as food, it's not about just nourishment and sustaining our life, it is really the seed of our ancestor."
