will be able to achieve success without understanding the science of the depths
of mind?
-Deep Trivedi
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and

Every portion of body, mind, and spirit yearns for integration of yin and yang… Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body.
-Lao Tzu "Lao Tzu"
