In order to understand the speed of light, Einstein had to think counterintuitively. He had to forget our typical notions of space and time. Einstein figured out that light behaves fundamentally differently from what we are used to experiencing. To understand God, we need to think similarly. The God of the Torah is highly anthropomorphized so that God can be understandable to the limits of the human mind. Yet, the Torah abounds with clues that God is, like the speed of light, beyond space and time. The practice of yoga, in its combination of the spiritual and the physical, allows for a kind of "yoking" between body and spirit, the temporal and the eternal.
