INTEGRAL YOGA

[Guest guest]

The object of this Yoga is not to liberate the

soul from Nature, but to liberate both soul and nature

by sublimation into the Divine Consciousness from

whom they came.<br><br>The aim of the ordinary Yoga is

to liberate the soul from Nature or, perhaps

sometimes, to liberate the soul in Nature.<br>Our aim is to

liberate both soul and nature into the Divine. Our aim is

to pass from the Ignorance into the Divine Light,

from death into Immortality, from Desire into

self-existent Bliss, from limited human-animal consciousness

into all-consciousness and God-consciousness, from the

ignorant seeking of Mind into the self-existent knowledge

of Supermind, from obscure half animal life into

luminous God-force.<br><br>Not to lose oneself altogether

in some ineffable Featurelessness is its object, but

to renounce ego for our true divine person one with

the universal and infinite; not to abolish

consciousness, but to exchange ignorance for a supreme and

all-containing Knowledge, not to blot out joy but to renounce

human pleasure for a divine griefless beatitude, not to

give up but to transform all world-nature and

world-existence into a power of the Truth of the Divine

Existence. <br><br>The supramental Yoga is at once an ascent

of the soul towards God and a descent of the Godhead

into the embodied nature.<br><br>SRI
