- What has changed in your understanding of this quote from when you first read it and when you read it at the end of the subject:
I request you to rub yourself with my words and with other people’s words, and until they are digested, do not form opinions. Then you will enjoy the bliss which is unalloyed, untainted and free from stains. Experience is real; words are not real. They are somebody else’s words, but it is your own experience. So put everything to the test of experience.
Iyengar, BKS. Tree of Yoga, The fruit, p 72
