Se trata, pues, de un texto universal que va más allá de los presupuestos culturales y religiosos de la India y que ofrece un análisis exhaustivo de la mente y de su relación con el cuerpo.

L'uomo può vivere molti giorni senza mangiare, pochi senza bere; ma solo per pochi minuti può sospendere la respirazione senza morirne.
