From Editor’s Desk Perhaps in no other situation a physician experiences the same magnitude of agony and ecstasy as while attending an emergency. Though initially one tends to be ‘down in the dumps’ after being unsuccessful in a case or being euphoric over a successful management of a dire emergency, in due course one develops an attitude of equanimity. This attitude is essential so that our own emotions do not affect our management plans. I have chosen two aphorisms in Medicine, ‘Primum non nocere’ and ‘Primum succurere’. While attending to a patient, if we are not able to cure him or relieve him it is excusable but we have to do our best not to harm the patient in the process...

This book is not offering enlightenment, it's describing it. The enlightened mind unites intellect and emotion despite their separation being built into the structure of our brains. This split appears in the mythic division between our lower and higher natures, and the separation of mind and body. Intellect and emotion function in concert. As color and shape are to vision, one complements the other. When fully integrated, they cannot be taken apart. The topics in the book's first half lean toward the intellectual. The second half looks at the division from the emotional side. What we are separating with one hand, we are putting together with the other. Struggle: We naturally consider our pro...
