-- "Yoga works on each individual for his or her growth and betterment, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is meant for the whole of humanity. That is why it is called sārvabhauma, a universal culture. When you are at one within yourself, yoga does not end there. Having acquired a certain discipline in body, mind, senses, intelligence and consciousness, the yogi has to live in the world without getting involved in his or her actions. This is what is known as skilfulness in action, which does not just mean dexterity.
Skilfulness is when one performs one's actions without expecting good or bad results from them. The yogi's actions are performed without vice and virtue, but with purity and divinity."
— B.K.S. Iyengar, The Tree of Yoga, pg 9

"The lack of true understanding in language models is revealed by their tendency to confabulate: to make stuff up, spouting nonsense in confident language. When I asked Open-AI’s GPT-4 to write a biography of me, it stated wrongly that I was born in London. When I asked it to do it again with fewer errors in dates and places, it got things even more wrong, saying I was born in Hammersmith, London—a revealing answer since being more specific is more likely to be wrong, as anybody who understands anything knows."
