Features: This series is one of the works of Sri Aurobindo, the sage among the "Three Holy Ones" of India. Sri Aurobindo is one of the most renowned spiritual philosophers of modern India. His writings not only hold widespread inspirational power in India but have also exerted a profound influence on the Western intellectual world. Xu Fancheng's translation is elegant, faithful, and lucid, adding joy to everyone's reading. The essence of Yoga is pure thinking. These books are not just about the practice of Yoga but more about the ultimate questions it raises: What is the nature of human pure thinking? What is human health? What is human life? This is the way to find one's footing in the world, or to say, Yoga is the path to harmony between the humble body and the noble soul of an individual. This book is a letter from Sri Aurobindo to his disciples, with a smaller volume, dedicated to the practice of Yoga.
