What is “the body” in classical yogic and tantric philosophy? How is it used? What is its benefit or its liability? Is yoga philosophical, aesthetic, religious?
The body is what weighs you down, literally and figuratively. Is is to be understood and then let go of, in order to separate consciousness from matter, to get right to moksha. Normal human capacities can be transcended by yoga but the body keeps one in the on-going build up of karma which can be burned away by practicing yoga.
Yoga is the internalization of the universe.
