You must continue to go back to the beginning, to the foundation, and question the foundation. Even once you‘ve reached Samadhi you must go back so you can create it at will. Samadhi is the beginning of spiritual growth, not the end. You must always be questioning. Enlightenment comes as an accident at first, then you have to learn to recreate it.

Yoga aims for complete awareness in everything you do.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.
B.K.S. Iyengar
The flexibility we gain in asana is the living symbol of the suppleness we gain in relation to life’s problems and challenges.
