The yogic journey guides us from our periphery, the body, to the central of our being, the soul. The aim is to integrate the various layers so that the inner divinity shines out as through clear glass.瑜伽之旅引導我們從我們表面的身體到達我們存在的核心——靈魂。其目的是融合各個層面，以便讓內在的神性像穿過透明玻璃一樣映照。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

艾揚格箴言37：
The journey continues with five steps of self-purification(niyama).These relate to our inner world and senses of perception and help us to develop self-discipline.瑜伽之旅随后是五步自我淨化（内制）。這五步讓我們的內心世界與感官的知覺相聯繫，並幫助我們加強自我約束。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言38：
These ethical precepts are always with us from the beginning of the end of the yoga journey, for the demonstrations of one's spiritual realization lie in none other than how one walks among and interacts with one's fellow human beings.這些道德準則將伴隨我們瑜伽之旅自始至終，因為一個人的精神覺悟無不顯現在他於人群中怎样行走，以及如何與人交往。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

艾揚格箴言40：How to keep the brain cells in a relaxed, receptive, and concentrated state is the art that yoga teaches.如何保持大腦細胞處於一個放鬆、接納和集中的狀態，正是瑜伽所教授的藝術。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言41：
Asana bestows the firmness to live with equanimity in the vicissitudes of the world's hurly-burly.
體式賜與我們堅強的品質，讓我們以平靜之心生活在喧囂塵世的變遷之中。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言42：
My asana is meditative, my practice of pranayama is devotional. Meditation itself is the final conquest and dissolution of the ego, the false, which impersonates the Real Self.
我的體式即是冥想，我的調息就是信仰。冥想本身是對自我的最終征服，也是冒充真我之假我的終極瓦解。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言43：
To learn the right posture, you have to face the pain. There is no other way.
要學會正確的體式，你不得不面對疼痛。除此別無他法。 ——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言44：
But yoga demands that we develop not only strength in body but attention and awareness in mind.
但是瑜伽要求我們不僅要加強身體的力量，還要培養內心的專一與覺知。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言45：
The yogi knows that the physical body is not only the temple for our soul but the means by which we embark on the inward journey toward the core. Only by first attending to the physical body can we hope to accomplish anything in our spiritual lives.
瑜伽行者知道身體不但是靈魂的廟宇，還是開啟內心之旅探求本質的渡船。唯有首先關注身體我們才有望在精神生活中取得成就。
——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言46：
It is here that yoga asana and pranayama practice allow us to understand our body with ever greater insight and through the body to understand our mind and reach our soul.
瑜伽體式與呼吸法的練習，讓我們始终以极大的洞察力明了我們的身體，並通過身體明了我們的心，最終達至明了我們的靈。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言47：
To a yogi, the body is a laboratory for life, a field of experimentation and perpetual research.對於瑜伽行者而言，身體是生命的實驗室，一個試驗與終身探究的道場。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）

艾揚格箴言50：
But a yogi never forgets that health must begin with the body.
但一個瑜伽行者絕不會忘記健康必須始於身體。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言51：
On the other hand, rigidity comes from impunity, from accumulated toxins, whether in the physical sense or the mental, when we call it prejudice or narrow-mindedness.
另一方面，僵硬源自不潔淨，源自累積的毒素，這或者是身體層面的，或者是心靈层面的，心靈層面的我們稱之為偏見與狹隘。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言52：
If we abandon or indulge our bodies, sickness comes, and attachment to it increases.
如果我們放棄或者放縱我們的身體，疾病就會產生，對身體的執著就會增加。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言53：
While this was yoga as an exhibition of art, the essence of yoga is not external display but internal. Yoga is beautiful as well as divine.
當然這是瑜伽作為一項藝術展覽，瑜伽的本質並非外在的表演，而是內在的修行。瑜伽如神一般美妙。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言54：
As I have said, while doing yoga, the body must tell one what to do, not the brain.
我曾說過，做瑜伽時，必須是身體告訴我們如何去做，而非大腦。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言55：
When you can not hold the body still, you can't hold the brain still. If you do not know the silence of the body, you can't understand the silence of the mind.
當你仍無法保持身體安穩，你也無法保持大腦安穩。如果你不懂得身體的寂靜，你也不懂得心灵的寂靜。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言56：
The goal of all asana practice is doing them from the core of your being and extending out dynamically through to the periphery of your body.
所有體式練習的目的是讓力量從身体存在的中心向外擴展，以到達身體的外圍。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言57：
When most people stretch, they simply stretch to the point that they are trying to stretch, but they forget to extend and expand from where they are.When you extend and expand, you are not only stretching to, you are also stretching from.
大多數人伸展時，他們僅僅伸展到他們試圖伸展到的點，忘記了從當下身體的哪裏進行延展與擴充。你在延展與擴充時，你不僅僅要知道向哪里伸展，你也要知道力量從哪裏開始伸展。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言58：
It is not yoga that injuries, but it is the way one does yoga that leads to injury.
不是瑜伽造成傷害，而是做瑜伽所用的錯誤方法導致傷害。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言59：
In the correct asana, there is no narrowness. Even if your body is stiff, you have to bring space.
在正確的體式裡，沒有狹隘之處。即使你的身體僵硬，你也必須帶來空間。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言60：
When one stops straining and the brain is passive, it becomes spiritual yoga.
當人停止緊張，大腦處於被动接納狀態，它就變成心靈瑜伽。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言61：
Compression is bondage, and expansion is freedom.
壓縮是束縛，擴展是自由。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言62：
Let us be full in whatever posture it is we are doing just as we should be full in whatever we do in our lives.
讓我們在任何體式裡都全然地投入，就像我們在生活中也要全身心的投入。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言63：
One must balance activity and passivity in the asana, exertion and relaxation.
在體式裏我們必須在主動與被動，努力與放鬆中保持平衡。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言64：
When there is only exertion, one keeps a constant load on the muscles, which tire due to over stretching, and injury occurs. The mind does not balance when you force.
若只有努力，就會讓肌肉處於持續的壓力下，使肌肉由於伸展過度而疲勞，傷害由此發生。當你承担強大的壓力時，心靈就不會平衡。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言65：
After reaching the final pose, one has to learn to let go of the effort and tautness of the muscles and shift the load onto the ligaments and joints so that they hold the asana steadily without even the breath causing the body to waver.
達到最終體式後(體式做到最後)，要學會放鬆肌肉的努力與緊繃，並將負擔轉移至韌帶和關節，這樣他们保持體式的穩定，甚至不會因呼吸而使身體搖擺。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言66：
In asana practice, we are trying to generate and stabilize our energy, to maintain it and not waste it unnecessarily.
在體式練習中，我們努力創造与穩固能量，使之加以保持，而不是毫無必要地浪費能量。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言67：
Relaxation begins from the outer layer of the body and penetrate the deep layer of our existence. Details and precision of the body lead to mastery of the art of relaxation. One who knows the art of relaxations also knowns the art of meditation.
放鬆從我們身體的外層開始，並穿過身體的深層。身體的細節和精準引導我們掌握放鬆的藝術。懂得放鬆藝術的人也懂得冥想的藝術。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言68：
When an asana is felt as being heavy, it is wrong. You must try to impart a feeling of lightness throughout your body.
當體式做起来感覺沉重，那定是錯誤的。你必須試著找到一种傳遍全身的輕盈的感覺。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言69：
When there is softness in the body and lightness in mind, the asana is correct. Hardness and heaviness mean the asana is wrong.
只有當身體是柔軟的,內心是輕盈的，體式才是正確的。感觉費力和沉重說明體式是錯誤的。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言70：
The right amount will keep all of your energy in your body. Too much tension is aggression. Injuries come by aggression, by doing aggressive movements, not by doing yoga.
適當的壓力可以保持身體內的所有的能量。太多壓力是激進。傷害來自於激進，來自於激進的動作，而非瑜伽。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言71：
Through yoga one can begin to develop a perfect balance both sides of the body. All of us begin with imbalances, favoriting one side or the other.
通過瑜伽我們可以開始培養身體倆側的完美平衡。我們都是從不平衡開始，偏好一側或者另外一側。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言72：
In each asana, if the contact the body and the floor—the foundation —is good, the asana will be performed well. Always watch your base: Be attentive to the portion nearest the ground. Correct first from the root.
在每一個體式，如果身體和地面——根基——連接得好、穩固，體式也會完成的好。總是要觀察你的根基：注意最靠近地面的部分。調整首先從根基開始。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言73：
Balance does not mean merely balancing the body. Balance in the body is the foundation for balance in life. In whatever position one is in, or in whatever condition in life one is placed, one must find balance.
平衡不僅僅指平衡身體。身體的平衡是生活平衡的基礎。無論處在體式的任何位置，無論居於生活的何种境況，我們必須找到平衡。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言74：
Balance is the state of the present —the here and now. If you balance in the present, you are living in Eternity.
平衡是一種當下的狀態—此時此地。若當下你能獲得平衡，你就已經活在永恆。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言75：
One has to find the median line of each asana so that the energy is properly distributed.
每個人必須找到每個體式的中線，以便能量均勻分佈。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言76：
In yoga class, many students think that they must simply "grit their teeth and bear it " until the teacher tells them can come out of asana. This is seeing yoga as calisthenics and is the wrong attitude.
在瑜伽課堂上，很多學生認為他們必須簡單地「咬牙忍受」，直到老師告訴他們退出體式。這種視瑜伽為健美操是錯誤的看法。——《艾揚格箴言》（于伽編譯）
艾揚格箴言77：
Pain is your guru. As we experience pleasure happily, we must also learn not to lose our happiness when pain comes.
疼痛是你的上師。就像我們體驗幸福快樂一樣，當疼痛來臨時，我們必須也要學會不失去快樂。
艾揚格箴言78：
Just as the ethical codes of yoga purify our actions in the world, the asana and pranayama purity our inner world. We use these practices to help us learn to bear and overcome the inevitable pain and afflictions of life.
正如瑜伽的道德準則淨化我們在世上的行為，體式和調息淨化我們的內在世界。我們用瑜伽練習來幫助我们忍受和克服生命中不可避免的痛苦與磨難。
艾揚格箴言79：
Endurance is needed to remain in an asana. To master an asana, you need patience and discipline. The asana will not come by making faces.
保持體式需要忍耐。掌握一個體式，需要耐心和紀律。做鬼臉體式不會達成。
艾揚格箴言80：
To get freedom, you have to bear the pain. This is equally true in life.
為了得到自由，你必須忍受痛苦。在生活中也如此。
艾揚格箴言81：
In the beginning, pain can be very strong because the body resists us. By surrendering to it, we soften the body, and gradually it will lessen.
開始之時，疼痛可能很強烈，因為身體發出抵制。通過聽之任之的方式，我們柔軟了身體，疼痛將逐漸減輕。
艾揚格箴言82：
Pain comes to guide you. When you have known pain, you will be compassionate. Shared joys can not teach us this.
疼痛是你的嚮導。當你了解疼痛時，你會變得慈悲。從共享快樂中無法教會我們慈悲。
艾揚格箴言83：
So it is by facing up to adversity and suffering, and accepting it as a necessary means, that our anxieties are resolved and disappear.
所以，面對逆境和苦難，把它當作必要的考驗來接受，我們的焦慮得以解決而消除。
艾揚格箴言84：
Let the goal be to reach perfection, but be content with a little progress toward perfection every day. Over ambition can be destructive of sustainable progress.
讓目標趨於完美，但在走向完美的途中，要滿足於每一天的小小進步。一味追求目標會破壞可持續性的進步。
艾揚格箴言85：
It is better to do a good pose minimum than a bad pose maximum.
與其大量做一个錯誤體式，不如少量練習一個正確體式。
艾揚格箴言86：
Long uninterrupted practice of asana and pranayama, done with awareness, makes the foundation firm and brings success.
長期不間斷帶著覺知練習體式和調息，就可以打下牢固基礎，並且帶來成功。
艾揚格箴言87：
Do not allow past experiences to be imprinted on your mind. Perform asana each time with a fresh mind and with a fresh approach.
不要讓過去的經驗銘記在你的心中。每次練習體式都要以全新的心態和全新的方法來進行。
艾揚格箴言88：
If we ever find ourselves apart from or superior to others, purer or more elevated by yoga, we can be sure that we are becalmed or even drifting back into a state of ignorance.
如果修習瑜伽我們發現任何时候自己都與眾不同、高人一等、比別人更純淨，或者比別人更高貴，毫無置疑我們已陷入停滯，甚至墮回到無知狀態。
艾揚格箴言89：
n the other contrary, practice and purity of life place us "among" not above.
正相反，練習與生命的純潔將我們置於「大家之中」而非之上。
艾揚格箴言90：
So let me do what I cannot do, not what I can do.
所以讓我做我不能做的，而不是做我能做到的。
艾揚格箴言91：
In yoga class, students often look so serious and separate from one another. Where is the friendliness? Where is the compassion? Where is the gladness? Where is the joy? Without these, we have not achieved the true yoga of Patanjali.
在瑜伽課堂上，學生們通常看起來很嚴肅，且彼此獨立。友愛在哪裡？慈悲在哪裡？欣喜在哪裡？快樂在哪裡？沒有這些品質，我們就沒有獲得帕坦伽利所言瑜伽的真諦。
艾揚格箴言92：
All people are born with different constitutions. Never compare with others. Each one's capacities are a function of his or her internal strength. Know your capacities and continually improve upon them.
所有的人生來體質不同。不要與他人比較。每個人的能力是他或者她內在力量作用的表現。認識你自己的能力並不斷地加以完善。
艾揚格箴言93：
No doubt, one may say reading holy books is spiritual practice. But what I teach is spiritual practice in action.
毫無疑問，有人說閱讀經典是精神的修行。但我所教授的是在行動中的精神修行。
艾揚格箴言94：
It was my asana practice that kept me on track. I continued to adapt and transform my body to be capable of pranayama and so over many long years came to master it.
是體式練習讓我保持不偏離軌道。我不斷調整與改善我的身體以適應調息的要求，通過很多年的努力，成功掌握了它。
艾揚格箴言95：
Nothing pertaining to pranayama can be forced. That is why it teaches humility.
與調息相關的一切都不可以勉強，因為調息教會我們謙卑。
艾揚格箴言96：
We have seen that as leaves move in the wind, your mind moves with your breath. When breathe is regulated and pacified, there is a neutralizing effect the mind.
我們已經意識到正如風中的樹葉，心隨呼吸而動。當呼吸經調節、控制而平穩，對心有中和的作用。
艾揚格箴言97：
And when you hold your breath, you hold your soul.
當你掌控了你的呼吸，你就掌控了你的靈魂。
艾揚格箴言98：
While yoga may begin with the cult of the body, it leads toward the cultivation of our consciousness.
當然瑜伽也許從崇拜身體開始，它引導我們對覺知的培养。
艾揚格箴言99：
As we cultivate our mind, we are able to avoid the stress that would otherwise lodge in our mind, causing disease and suffering.
通過修養內心，我們能夠避免壓力在心中積累，壓力會引起疾病和痛苦。
艾揚格箴言100：
In our spiritual quest, it is required of us that we develop our body in such a way that it is no longer a hindrances, a drag, but becomes our friend and accomplice.
在我們的精神追求中，要求我們必須用一种方法來強壯我們的身體，使身體不再是我們的阻礙和拖累，而成為我們的朋友和同伴。
艾揚格箴言101：
Often one partner in a marriage will pursue yoga or another spiritual path, and they will leave the other partner behind. They must not.
通常婚姻伴侣中的一半修行瑜伽或者探求其他精神之道時，他們會把另一半落下。千萬別這樣。
艾揚格箴言102：
They must do whatever they have to in order to bring the other partner along or to always return to the other partner. This is the only way to keep the marriage strong.
他們必須盡其所能地帶上另一半，或者總能回到另一半的身边。這是維持婚姻始终不渝的唯一方法。
艾揚格箴言103：
As we practice yoga and begin to meditate, we develop equanimity. We let go of this ego.
隨著我們練習瑜伽和冥想，培養內心從容淡定。我們舍棄了小我。
艾揚格箴言104：
In yoga we consciously minimize our needs.
在瑜伽中我們有意識將我們的需求減到最小。
艾揚格箴言105：
Remember that yoga is not asking us to refrain from Joy. Draw in the exquisite fragrance of the flower. Yoga is against bondage.
要記住瑜伽沒有要求我們抑制快樂。全神品味花的美妙芳香。瑜伽反對束缚。
艾揚格箴言106：
All illness fragments and so whatever integrates also heals.
所有疾病分裂機體的功能，所以任何有助於機能合為一體，也可使之康复。
艾揚格箴言107：
In fact, the yogi's standpoint, practice and philosophy are inseparable.
事實上，對於瑜伽行者而言，練習與哲學是不可分離的。
艾揚格箴言108：
My life's work has been to demonstrate that from one's very first Samasthiti(standings still and straight) or Tadasana (mountain pose) in one's very first class, one is embarking on this task.
我一生的工作就是要表明從一个人第一堂瑜伽課上的第一個站姿或者山式開始，他就著手這項任務。
