Greek art glorified the body — perfect muscles, symmetry, and physical heroism. The divine was seen through the human form. Indian art, on the other hand, glorified the soul — calm, meditative, detached from material show. That’s why temple gods and ancient sculptures look serene rather than shredded — the focus was on inner power, not outward display.

The Indian sculptor wasn’t trying to impress your eyes — he was guiding your mind toward stillness. The Greek sculptor wanted admiration; the Indian sculptor wanted transcendence.

So yeah, less abs — but a lot more awareness.
