Mantras in the Integral Yoga

No fixed processes in the Integral Yoga
The sadhana of this yoga does not proceed through any set
mental teaching or prescribed forms of meditation, Mantras
or others, but by aspiration, by a self-concentration inwards or
upwards, by self-opening to an Influence, to the Divine Power
above us and its workings, to the Divine Presence in the heart
and by the rejection of all that is foreign to these things. It is
only by faith, aspiration and surrender that this self-opening
can come.

No fixed mantra in the Integral Yoga
In this yoga there is no fixed mantra, no stress is laid on
mantras, although sadhaks can use one if they find it helpful
or so long as they find it helpful. The stress is rather on an as-
piration in the consciousness and a concentration of the mind,
heart, will, all the being. If a mantra is found helpful for that,
one uses it. OM if rightly used (not mechanically) might very
well help the opening upwards and outwards (cosmic con-
sciousness) as well as the descent.

The idea of your friend that it is necessary to receive a mantra
from here and for that he must come is altogether wrong. There
is no mantra given in this Yoga. It is the opening of the con-
sciousness to the Mother from within that is the true initiation
and that can only come by aspiration and rejection of restless-
ness in the mind and vital.
