Si vous lisez l'anglais, plongez dans la perspective unique de Krishnamurti sur le yoga.
To suppose that certain yoga exercises will lead you to salvation, to understanding, to God, truth or wisdom, is sheer nonsense. —Krishnamurti
Context: Yoga is all right, probably, for the body. Any kind of exercise – walking, jumping, climbing mountains, swimming, or whatever you do – is on the same level. But to suppose that certain yoga exercises will lead you to salvation, to understanding, to God, truth or wisdom, is sheer nonsense, even though the yogis may say otherwise. If once you see that anything that you practise, accept or develop, has always behind it the element of greed, wanting to get something, wanting to reach something, wanting to break a record, then you will leave it alone. A mind that is merely concerned with the ‘how’, with doing yoga exercises, with this or that, will only develop a sense of achievement through time, and such a mind can never comprehend that which is timeless.
