Description
This book is an attempt to understand the ‘mind-body relationship’ from the standpoint of Indian philosophy. The author exposes the topic as dealt with in traditional Indian schools of philosophy, in particular by Samkhya-Yoga schools and also by Ayurveda. He also presents the Nyaya-Vaisesika and Vedantic perspectives, as well as the Carvaka who, like modern Western materialists, do not believe in the separate existence of the mind from the physical body. The author also presents western studies and tendencies on this subject.
The problem of the relation of mind and body is no special problem in Indian philosophy because Indian thinkers do not equate mind with the self. In Indian philosophy the word ‘mind’ is used in the sense of manas or antahkarana (internal organ) and not in the sense of atman (self). But Western thinkers differentiate mind from body on the one hand and equate mind with the self on the other hand. Some of them have advanced ‘interactionism’, where mental and bodily states interact. But if the stuff of the mind is so different from the stuff of the body, then how do they influence one another? This problem vanishes when we look at the point from the Yoga perspective. Here also there is interactionism between mind and body, but in Yoga philosophy the mind is not different from the body. Mind and body come under the same category, as mind is subtle matter–both are transformations or prakrti. Ayurveda also believes in the reciprocal effect of mind on body and vice-versa, thereby proving the intimate relationship of mind and body.
