How do Yogic postures help us attain health?
Answers
Explanation:
You can perceive totally, completely only when the mind is wholly quiet. So the professionals, the teachers, the gurus say you must sit in a certain posture, control your thought, breathe properly and so on. So a contradiction takes place because you are in conflict, because you don’t know how to control, how to breathe. What is it that meditation offers according to these people? Enlightenment? Can you be enlightened if you have not lived properly? Can you be enlightened by doing some exercises, listening to a guru, practising a system, when your mind is shoddy, little, petty? Can a mind be quiet through any system, through any action of will? Will is a form of resistance and resistance brings conflict. So can the mind be free totally of all will and yet function in this world efficiently?
