many or most it will seem impossible. All the established forces
of the ordinary ignorant world-consciousness are opposed to

it and deny it and try to prevent it, and the sadhak will find his
own mind, life and body full of the most obstinate impediments
to its realisation. If you can accept the ideal whole-heartedly,

face all the difficulties, leave the past and its ties behind you
and are ready to give up everything and risk everything for this
divine possibility, then only can you hope to discover by experi-
ence the Truth behind it.
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 up-

wards, 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.

Aim of the Integral Yoga
The aim of the Yoga is to open the consciousness to the
Divine, to live in the inner consciousness more and more while
acting from it on the external life, to bring the inmost psychic
into the front and by the power of the psychic to purify and
change the being so that it may become ready for transforma-
tion and in union with the Divine Knowledge, Will and Love.
Secondly, to develop the Yogic consciousness — i.e. to univer-
salise the being on all the planes, become aware of the cos-
mic being and cosmic forces and be in union with the Divine
on all the planes up to the Overmind. Thirdly, to come into
contact with the transcendent Divine, beyond the Overmind,
through the supramental consciousness, supramentalise the
consciousness and the nature and make oneself an instrument
for the realisation of the dynamic Divine Truth and its trans-
forming descent into the earth-nature. CWSA 29:19-20
