在Light on life這本書中，Guruji提到他在教學上態度的展現，更讓我堅信”堅持做對的事情”的原則。瑜珈教學是一個可以影響人對其生活態度，對內外在自我提升的一件很有意義的工作。
以下分別摘自書的兩段章節內容 :
Often people say that I have a temper
because I will shout at people in class when I see they are putting themselves
at risk or conversely not doing their best. For this reason people have said that
I am a severe teacher. I am strict, but I am not harsh. I use my anger to free
a student from his pattern. One student kept talking about his fear in
Sirsasana, and I finally shouted, “Forget about fear. You may only fall on the
floor, not go beyond. In the future there is fear. In the present there is no
fear.”
時常，學生說我脾氣不好，因為當我看到有人讓自己處於危險的動作中或是沒有盡力去做時，我會在課堂上咆哮。基於這個理由，人們說我是位嚴厲的老師，我嚴格，但不刻薄。我用生氣來除去學生們慣有的習性。有個學生不斷地說他對頭倒立有多麼恐懼，到最後我不得不怒斥” 別再提恐懼，你最多就是摔在地上，不會再更慘了，就算在未來有恐懼，但這當下沒有恐懼。
The battle of yoga is with the body and
with the ego. You must conquer your ego, or small self, so that you can let
your soul, your big self, be victorious.
瑜珈的一場仗，是對抗身體與我執(ego)，你必須要克服我執，這個小我(small self)，才可以讓靈魂、大我(big self)得到勝利。
In teaching it is sometimes necessary for
me to act the role of anger. I have to appear” mercilessly merciful” in order
to save student from themselves. The anger response is appropriate. But I am
not attached to the anger. The anger role does not disturb the bottom of the
lake and create the pattern. As soon as I turn away from the student, I put
down the anger. I am detached and ready to deal with the next student with friendliness
or humor, or whatever is appropriate to his or her needs. I do not get caught
up, yet I can engage fully in the comedy and tragedy of the human drama.
在教學時，我有時是必須扮演生氣的角色的。我要表現出”無情的慈悲”來讓學生擺脫他們的我執(習性)。生氣的反應是適當的，但我不會執著於怒氣中。就好比生氣這個角色不會擾亂湖底的平靜，或變成一種模式。一旦我轉身，就會放下怒氣，對下一位學生帶著友善、或幽默、或任何其他適合這位學生的情緒。我不受綑綁，而是依著人編造出的喜劇或悲劇戲碼來上演。
