This chapter goes back to the original concept of union. It looks at the concept of Wide Heart . This is connecting our emotional and ethical life with the rest of the world. It explores this connection through the connection of relationships, beginning with the relationship of the teacher to the student. Finally, the Epilogue gives a wonderful wrap up and a hopeful glimpse of where to go from here.
Yoga is more than just studying the physical asanas.
Nor is it just sitting on a mountain top meditating. In order to become a more complete yogi, one does not divorce himself from the world, like a hermit. Indeed, as this book points out, it is vitally important that the yogi go out into the world, and be a major part of the global village of Earth. For those yogis out there who want more than just the physical study of yoga, I strongly recommend this book. It is a great book for instructors as well, and an excellent reference.
