No one's lazy. What we would call the laziest person on earth expends a tremendous amount of energy to not do things.
Frederick Lenz

If you try to pull too much power through too soon, you will injure yourself.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You human beings think that yoga is in some way going to make everything you want to happen, work out. You are going to be able to avoid what you don't want. That is not yoga. That is desire and aversion.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.
Frederick Lenz

What the enlightened person sees no one could ever tell or describe. Wonder beyond belief. We live in a universe filled with wonder. It is wonder just to live.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.

Image
In my very early childhood, when I was only 3 or 4 or 5, I would enter for many hours into meditative states in which the world would become light and energy and I would transcend the boundaries of the senses.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I'm not suggesting that everyone should meditate, far from it. Meditation is for very few individuals. I'm speaking of something that is a powerful experience.
