Yoga for the Mind

Yogi William Zorn

1968 1st Edition. Hardcover.

A Treatise on Mental and Philosophical Yoga by a Western Yogi 

All students of Yoga are unquestionably aware that the great teachers regarded Hatha Yoga--the art of controlling and disciplining the body--as a mere means toward the higher and greater achievement of the control and discipline of the mind.

With a clarity and a simplicity worthy of the ancient masters, Yogi William Zorn offers in this volume a guide for the Western student to the great truths embodied in Yogic literature.  He presents the essence of Raja Yoga, the science of mind control, and Jnana Yoga, the science of spiritual knowledge, in a manner that permits the student to establish concrete, practical regimens to lead him along the path to ultimate self-understanding, serenity, and achievement. 

The book distills and interprets in clear and practical terms the relevant sutras on Patanjali, Pranayama, concentration and mental exercise, meditations, Yogic discipline in daily life, Samadhi, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad-Gita.

For those who are troubled in spirit, who have deep-rooted misgivings about themselves and their place in the world, whose aspirations are unfulfilled, who long for a guide to self-realization and the maximum achievement of their potential, this book may prove to be the key.
