Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self-created suffering comes to an end.

BKS Iyengar chanting the invocation to Patanjali at the start of class, accompanied by some lovely black and white shots of him teaching. youtube.com/watch?v=VtxVmo…
