The Yogi

The mind is the power, the body the temple and the spirit infinity – is this what the Yogi believes? His body, with the pallor of death is warm to the touch and seems to be alive. He has no name because he neither speaks, nor does he acknowledge the existence of other human beings. He sits under the tree and never seems to move. No one has seen him eat or drink or clothed in anything other than a loin cloth, winter or summer.
One wonders if his mind and spirit have departed elsewhere and left this empty vessel of a body on earth, without any feeling or bodily needs.
