YOGA

“Bow Down to the Yoga Teacher” by Casey Schwartz — after quoting
from the Bhagavad-Gita’s authority on how an enlightened person
should live, the author contrasts the current setting: “In America,
yoga has become a mainstream and marketable cult – 20 million people
practice regularly, according to some estimates – and its teachers
are, in a sense, performers. That’s why the narcissistically
inclined can be drawn to the job, says Miles Neale, a Buddhist
psychotherapist based in New York. Becoming a yoga teacher allows an
insecure person to act spiritually superior.” This too is
reminiscent of the path to cultic development.
