Consciousness Quote by Om Swami
““We can examine and hold all the physical elements. But beyond the physical, there are other forces at play. For example, we can’t touch or hold our thoughts, but they can make us feel a certain way; they can have a positive or a negative impact on our physical health. We can’t even touch our own breath – which is the very basis of our existence. The subtler elements require greater sensitivity of the consciousness.””
