Thought for the day

Over-eating, talkativeness, wrong type of exertion, being finicky, wasting time by gossiping, unsteady mind all destroy yoga.
Swatrama, in Hatha Yoga Pradipika

World as illusion: science speak

But our experience of a stable outside world is a consistent illusion that the brain creates. It is an illusion that has been `designed' long before we arrived on earth, for the purpose of biological survival. The illusion begins at the first neuron. Our senses grab only a little of reality; the eye takes in a trillionth of the energy which reaches it, the ear similarly. So, our experience of the world as stable is so because of the way the brain is organized, not because of the way the world is.
