Samenvatting
Those who have read Training the Mind through Yoga, the collection of fourteen lectures by Miss M V Waterhouse first published in 1964, will need no introduction to the present book which contains thirteen of her hitherto unpublished talks on Adhyatma Yoga, the Yoga of Self-Knowledge.
Marjorie Waterhouse was one of the earliest and closest pupils of Hari Prasad Shastri, an acknowledged master of Yoga, having joined him soon after he arrived in England from the East in July 1929. After his death in 1956, she became the second Warden of Shanti Sadan, the Centre of Adhyatma Yoga in London, and she held this post for the following seven years. She brought to her understanding of the philosophy and practice of the spiritual Yoga a practical attitude which was more concerned with smoothing the difficulties of the ordinary man in his attempts to control and enlighten his mind than with the abstruse metaphysical questions posed by the Vedanta philosophy. One of her striking sayings was: ‘We do not yet love the human heart sufficiently.’ But she herself was one of the people least open to this charge. Her sympathy and common sense were enlivened by a delightful sense of humour, which finds expression even on the printed page. Practical Yoga, as she says, is the process of transforming the mind through meditation, purification and self-control, and involves facing up to, and dealing effectively with, many obstacles which the raw and untutored mind puts up in the way of resistance to change. The transition from individuality to universality is not achieved without effort and without giving up many of the wrong ways of thought which bedevil our ordinary thinking. In this process, the greatest need of the would-be yogi is for sound guidance and clear advice, and this he will get in abundance from the pages of this book.
