Yoga as a Philosophy reunites all opposites- mind and body, stillness and movement, masculine and feminine, sun and moon in order to bring reconciliation between such …show more content…

It accepts Samkhyan, except Personal God. The universe is divided into two and consists entirely of two fundamentally different kinds of beings- Prakriti (Matter) and Purusha (Soul). Both are separated, eternal, uncaused and indestructible. When they become associated, soul becomes aware of what goes on in body which lacks consciousness and purposive through being mirrored in the awareness constituting the soul. This happy circumstance stirs body into evolutionary activity. Thus body becomes alive. Then self- consciousness generates the opposite objectivity. Then mind emerges which give rise to five organs of perception and five organs of action. Each of the five senses evolves and involves both subtle and gross elements. The five subtle elements are colour, sound, odor, flavour and tactile pressure. The gross elements are the Panca Maha

  • Karen Armstrong Void Analysis

    1011 Words  | 5 Pages

    Karen Armstrong and Robert Thurman wrote their essays, “Homo religiosus” and “Wisdom”, respectively, describing two words, “being” and “void”. These words, although have opposite meanings, describe the same spiritual experience that come about through different means. By definition, “being” is a kind of fullness or completeness of existence and “void” is emptiness or a negation of existence. Armstrong believes that “being” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana” while Thurman believes that “void” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana”. Although these terms seem to be opposite in the literal sense of defining them, they lead to the same outcome: not being at the center of one’s own universe.

    Conclusion: The mind is substantively different from the body and indeed matter in general. Because in this conception the mind is substantively distinct from the body it becomes plausible for us to doubt the intuitive connection between mind and body. Indeed there are many aspects of the external world that do not appear to have minds and yet appear none the less real in spite of this for example mountains, sticks or lamps, given this we can begin to rationalize that perhaps minds can exist without bodies, and we only lack the capacity to perceive them.
