Why Meditation Feels So Difficult
In Raja Yoga, Swami Vivekananda famously compares the human mind to a wild, drunken monkey.

How Yoga Takes You Beyond the Mind
The idea of the Pancha Koshas comes from the Taittiriya Upanishad. It says something simple. You are not just the body.You are not just the mind. You are made of layers.

Mastering the Senses
Most of us think we are in control. But if you look closely, a lot of our behavior is driven by the senses. We eat what tastes good.We watch what stimulates us.We react to whatever pulls our attention. Slowly, this becomes a habit.And without noticing, the senses start leading the mind.
