"This is my mat. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My mat is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my mat is useless. Without my mat, I am useless. I must roll out my mat true. I must try to focus on the breath every day. I must overcome my desire before it overcomes me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my mat and myself are defenders of my dharana, we are the masters of our drishti, we are the saviors of my prana. So be it, until there is no ego, but samadhi. Amen."
