SUMMATION



Yoga teaching subscribes to non-dualist metaphysics. The self is the ultimate singular
underlying phenomenon.

Interview theologian about dualist vs. non-dualist philosophy

There is considerable overlap between yogic schools of thought. In the course of time,
history, and culture, certain yoga practices have become ends to themselves.
All of the branches of yoga believe divine realization is possible through daily practice
and concentration.

The ascetic and sensualist both fail to distinguish pleasure from the pursuit of pleasure.
The sensualist tries to compensate for his insufficiency by extracting pleasure from the
world.

Pleasure seeking recreation: strip club; bungee Jump; sky diving; Ferrari dealer; stately
mansion

The ascetic makes a virtue of the lack of pleasure.

Ascetic virtue recreation: Mendicant, ascetic life style.

The realization is that pleasure is a state of mind, and not to be controlled by the
Recreationcommand of will. Once pleasure is grasped, it becomes nothing at all.
