Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Western student is apt to be somewhat confused in his ideas regarding the Yogis and their philosophy and practice. Travelers to India have written great tales about the hordes of fakirs mendicants and mountebanks who infest the great roads of India and the streets of its cities and who impudently claim the title 'Yogi.' The Western student is scarcely to be blamed for thinking of the typical Yogi as an emaciated fanatical dirty ignorant Hindu who either sits in a fixed posture until his body becomes ossified or else holds his arm up in the air until it becomes stiff and withered and forever after remains in that position or perhaps clenches his fist and holds it tight until his fingernails grow through the palms of his hands. That these people exist is true but their claim to the title 'Yogi' seems as absurd to the true Yogi as does the claim to the title 'Doctor' on the part of the man who pares one's corns seem to the eminent surgeon or as does the title of 'Professor ' as assumed by the street corner vendor of worm medicine seem to the President of Harvard or Yale.Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - RHETORIC the counterpart of Dialectic. Both alike are concerned with such things as come more or less within the general ken of all men and belong to no definite science. Accordingly all men make use more or less of both; for to a certain extent all men attempt to discuss statements and to maintain them to defend themselves and to attack others. Ordinary people do this either at random or through practice and from acquired habit. Both ways being possible the subject can plainly be handled systematically for it is possible to inquire the reason why some speakers succeed through practice and others spontaneously; and every one will at once agree that such an inquiry is the function of an art. -Aristotle.…
