"When you are inspired by some
great purpose,
some extraordinary project,
all your thoughts
break their bounds:
Your mind transcends limitations,
your consciousness expands in every
direction and you find yourself
in a new, great, and wonderful world.
Dormant forces, faculties, and talents
become alive, and you
discover yourself
to be a greater person by far
than you ever dreamed
yourself to be."
-Patanjali
