============================================================================= Monday 01, Apr 2024.  05:30. Yoga and Meditation Chapter 4: The Psychology of Yoga-8. ============================================================================ The study of yoga is the study of the cosmic mind, and not merely an individual mind.

Many people are under the false notion that yoga is a private individual business, taking the individual to God independently, irrespective of what happens to other people in the world outside.

Yoga and Meditation Chapter 4: The Psychology of Yoga-6. ================================================================ It is a wonderful thing to understand, to study, and to make an investigation of. We become very interesting individuals. The philosophical mind is a very interesting unit. Nothing can be more interesting than the study of philosophy and psychology in its true connotation. The study of psychology is the study of the total personality of the individual – conscious, subconscious, unconscious and spiritual – and at the same time, it is a philosophical study of the ultimate constitution of things. Philosophy, properly defined, is the explanation of events by their ultimate causes, not by their immediate causes.
