In other words, your thoughts and feelings affect your pranic field. And your pranic field determines the condition of your physical body. Your mind is in charge, unfortunately. Or fortunately, depending on how you use your mind. Adi Shankaracharya gives us 11 verses on the physical body, only two verses on the pranic field, and one of them says we already know this well. And then he gives us 16 verses on the mind. Why so many about the mind? Because your mind is complicated, isn’t it? You need help with it, yes?
