It encompasses not just the physical body (sharir, in Sanskrit), but also the outer “sense-oriented” mind (manas) and inner “feeling-oriented” mind (chitta). Just as the physical body’s well-being is determined by a regimen of diet and exercise, so too, is the well-being of one’s outer and inner mind determined by diet and exercise. The only difference is that “diet” and “exercise” for the mind isn’t, say, food and aerobics, but something a lot more subtle.One can go through life ignoring all of life’s profund questions. But, one cannot live life ignoring one’s body and mind. This book helps contend with those “devils” . There’s something for everyone.
