Downloading the Cosmos
The more you know about any other gadget, the better you can use it. The body is like the old TV antenna: if you hold it in the right position, it becomes receptive to all there is in existence. If you hold it another way, you will remain absolutely ignorant of everything beyond the five senses.
We are employing less than one percent of what the body is capable of. If you prepare the body properly, it can grasp everything in this existence, because all that happens to this existence is happening, in some way, to this body.
The human body is capable of downloading the entire cosmos. So, the fundamental yoga starts with the physical body. We transform the physical body from a series of compulsions of flesh, blood, and hormones into a conscious process, a powerful instrument of perception and knowing.
