BackThe conflict between the body and the mind gives rise to suffering. The real enemy is the mind. Traditional yoga seeks to conquer body and mind. The mind is what gives rise to notions and the body is a notion, described as arising through "thought-force". Magical ideas of thought-created bodies is not helpful. In practical terms the mind certainly gives rise to powerful body images. We need liberation from our mind, from limiting notions of body image. Such notions can be starved to death by stopping feeding them. We can stop identifying with the body. The mind is fueled by cravings. Where there is self-knowledge there is neither the mind nor the senses. There is liberation, nirvana. Our awareness can rest in itself. It is relationships with the body, mind and senses that can be abandoned. Is everything really no more than a game?
