Guest guest Posted March 9, 2000 Report Share Posted March 9, 2000 The first test of true teaching must be, that the teaching should not contradict reason. And you may see that such is the basis of all these Yogas. We take the Raja Yoga, the psychological Yoga, the psychological way to union. It is a vast subject, and I can only point out to you now the central idea of this Yoga. We have but one method of acquiring knowledge. From the lowest man to the highest Yogi, all have to use the same method; and that method is what is called concentration. The chemist who works in his laboratory concentrates all the powers of his mind, brings them into one focus, and throws them on the elements; and the elements stand analyzed, and thus his knowledge comes. The astronomer has also concentrates all the powers of his mind and brought into one focus; and he throws them on to objects through his telescope; and stars and systems roll forward and give up their secrets to him. -- _______ " If we appear to seek the unattainable, as it has been said, then let it be known that we do so to avoid the unimaginable.
