Quite apart from the charm of the new and the fascination of the half-understood, there is good cause for Yoga to have many adherents. It offers the possibility of controllable experience and thus satisfies the scientific need for “facts”; and, besides this, by reason of its breadth and depth, its venerable age, its doctrine and method, which include every phase of life, it promises undreamed of possibilities.

Yulaw, this came at a very good time for me. I was struggling with something that I was not looking at correctly (more scientifically/ literally) and this has helped me to open up to a better understanding. How did you know?
Many thanks!

Thanks for the quote. He states one of the main reasons I am drawn to the practice.

Evil cannot stand to be seen. When it is seen, it loses its power.
Then, I think it is our duty to expose and fight the evil in ourselves and
to expose and fight the evil in the world. In this regard, I find particularly interesting the writings and deeds of Mahatma Gandhi.
