From the Publisher
This is the age
of the Internet. We are going through an
incredible explosion of information. Even boys and
girls of tender age today are able to snatch and
flourish detailed information about things and
themes of which an earlier generation was
blissfully ignorant. It looks as if we are
entering a brave new world of tremendous
technological skills.
Though
information, the pile of facts, is not knowledge
it has utility. But knowledge, with its values,
leads to wisdom. Sa vidya ya vimuktaye, that is
knowledge which sets the mind free. Mental health
requires that the gathered information is digested
into knowledge. This is what is achieved through
Buddhi Yoga (Yoga of Intelligence), the theme of
this book by Swami Srikantananda.
Buddhi, the
faculty of discrimination, is a unique gift
possessed by man only among animals, and the
cultivation of this faculty enables him to rise
from animal nature to human nature and then to
divine nature. The intenser and purer the Buddhi,
the greater the perfection attained. It is our
earnest desire that "The Intelligent way to
Yoga', guides the readers to achieve that end.
