Nous & Body
Customer Rating: 
In the Ancient Greek World there was the concept of nous and body. In India the same concept existed as Yoga. Most people think that it cannot be otherwise, you cannot talk about mind and body separately unless you are dead. The author discusses the history, religious roots and divergent philosophies, as well as what we know Yoga is: relaxation, breathing, physical postures.
Albert Einstein can express what The Way of Yoga conveys>
'A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affectation for a few people near us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty'.
