" One who wants to gratify the body and still see the Atman is like the man who takes hold of a crocodile to cross a river thinking it is a log and is thus destroyed" (Vivekacudamani/Adi Shankaracharya)
the one who does not understand the body to be the divine shrine and the yoga of surrender to be inclusive of the body to dissolve still seeks the journey after being being awake.
so many paths and so much treasures of wisdom of sages of mother india. some like aadi shankara contributed immensely from his brahmanical viewpoint. some who journeyed beyond enlightenment cut their brahmanical thread to journey beyond to understand that the muladhara fire was vital transformation of body in its surrender to light.
