?I don't believe in arguments. They are a waste of time. I prefer method. Method is something you cannot think about or discuss. It will prove itself in a certain span of time. The right method makes things happen.?
 
In conversation with Bharat Thakur...
 
The beauty of Bharat Thakur is that he simply refuses to be put into a box. For a spiritual master to develop a form of Yoga that believes as much in weight loss as it does in meditation is confusing. Does one have to have a six-pack in order to reach enlightenment?  "I don't see the problem. Can a man with a headache or backache sit for meditation? Impossible. He will only think about the part of his body aching. The art of Yoga is to make the whole body invisible. By invisible I mean that you should not be able to feel it. If you can feel a joint or an organ or your head it means you have a problem. If you can't feel your knee or neck it means it is perfect. To enter into silence, the body should be free of disease. And that includes obesity."

Shouldn't we go beyond the body in order to access something more? "Sure. A headache is an equally good meditation if that is the route you wish to take. Meditation is simply the art of becoming one with the object of your focus. It can be anything. If you can become one with your headache or backache, it is equally good (sometimes that is the only option available). But if possible try to take an easier path!"

How do you so easily embrace the material aspects of life and still speak about meditation and spirituality with such conviction? "There is no how. It's a matter of understanding. This world that we live in is material isn't it? It isn't virtual like the internet.
