““Right now, you’re in a compulsive state of thought. If one thought enters your mind, it gets you tangled up. If you’re in a conscious state, you can run any number of tracks in your mind. Because it’s not compulsive, it doesn’t entangle you. ‘So compulsiveness takes away the possibility of exploring the full depth and dimension of life; it prevents you from realizing its immensity. In a state of consciousness, you can carry this mind with you without becoming a part of it. ‘See, there are only two ways to live life. You can impart your qualities upon the material that you gather, or you can take on the qualities of the material that you gather. That is the fundamental choice you have. That is yoga.””
