Yoga e preghiera pura. I percorsi di Patañjali e di Evagrio Pontico verso il silenzio interiore

DOM AXEL BAYER, O.S.B. cam., Eremo di Camaldoli (Italia)

Two authors who could not be more different in origin, religious tradition and era propose a similar path: the path of inner silence as an opening to God. But the similarities are not limited to silence as the goal of the path, but also concern the whole itinerary and the meditative method applied: the importance of the ethical-moral dimension, the use of an object toward which to direct the mind's attention in order to move from a distracted state to the concentration that prepares the mind for the coming of a state of inner stillness.
