A strong mind has influence over a weak mind. Mind has influence over the physical body. Mind acts upon matter. Mind brings bondage. Mind gives you liberation. Mind is the devil. Mind is your best friend. Mind is your Guru. You will have to tame your mind. You will have to discipline your mind. You will have to control your mind. This is all you have to do. - Swami Sivananda
The body is not an obstacle to enlightenment; the body is itself enlightenment.
