"El nervio vago es uno de los nervios principales que se estimulan con la práctica del yoga. La mayoría de los kriyas, asanas y pranayamas tienen un fuerte impacto sobre este nervio, que en el sistema sutil de nadis se relaciona con el Manovaha-Nadi." Reinhard Gammenthaler (Kundalini-Yoga Parampara)

“What has the future in store for this strange being, born of a breath, of perishable tissue, yet immortal, with his powers fearful and divine? What magic will be wrought by him in the end? What is to be his noblest deed, his crowning achievement?

“Long ago he recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, of a tenuity beyond conception and filling all space–the Akasha or luminiferous ether–which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena.

"The primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance.

"Can Man control this grandest, most awe-inspiring of all processes in nature? Can he harness her inexhaustible energies to perform all their functions at his bidding, more still–can he so refine his means of control as to put them in operation simply by the force of his will?

"If he could do this he would have powers almost unlimited and supernatural. At his command, with but a slight effort on his part, old worlds would disappear, and new ones of his planning would spring into being.

"He could fix, solidify and preserve the ethereal shapes of his imagining, the fleeting visions of his dreams. He could express all the creations of his mind, on any scale, in forms concrete and imperishable.

"He could alter the size of this planet, control its seasons, guide it along any path he might choose through the depths of the Universe.

"He could make planets collide and produce his suns and starts, his heat and light. He could originate and develop life in all its infinite forms.

"To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate​ forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man’s mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world, his crowning achievement which would place him beside his Creator and fulfill his ultimate destiny.”

"Mente y prâna están relacionados entre sí como la leche y el agua (que contiene), siendo sus actividades coincidentes; si existe movimiento de prâna, existe movimiento mental, y si hay actividad mental, la hay de prâna. Si se suspende la actividad de una de ellas, la otra parará; si una actúa, la otra también actuará; si no permanecen quietas, los sentidos estarán siempre activos; si se consigue controlarlas, se alcanzará moksha".
