There is a common desire in each and every human mind, and that desire differentiates a human from an animal, a human from a plant. What is that difference? It wants to expand. Secondly, it wants to become one with the Cosmic Entity. Thirdly, it wants to do something noble; and fourthly, it wants peace, supreme peace, undisturbed peace. These are the four special qualifications of human beings. So Yoga is the path of progress, the path of development for each and every human being. In individual life we should practise yoga, and in collective life we should encourage others to practise yoga. It is the panacea of all human ailments in the physical realm, in the psychic realm and also in the spiritual realm.
(Discourse in Haifa, 1979)
