You do not have to raise your consciousness - you have to raise yourself to find access to it.

Sadhana is towards creating a sense of inner fulfillment, where there is no need to lean on anyone or anything.

Life and death are like inhalation and exhalation. They always exist together.

In everything that you do, you can give something that is "You".

Yogis are not against pleasure. It is just that they found something much more intense and enduring within themselves.
