Where each thread leads
Dharma
A Sanskrit term with no single English equivalent — somewhere between law, duty, order, righteousness and the nature of a thing.
Yoga
A family of disciplines aimed at steadying the mind — far older and far wider than the postural practice the word now names globally.
Vedānta
A family of Indian philosophical schools reading the Upanishads, disagreeing sharply about the relationship between self and ultimate reality.
Life
Both a biological category with fuzzy edges and the name for the thing we are trying to make sense of.
Consciousness
The fact that there is something it is like to be you — and the long argument about what that fact is.
