Integral Yoga

Surrender means offering all one s work, noe s life to the Divine Force and Intent ( Synhtesis of Yoga Part I ch. There is also Sri Auroibndo s personal diary fo his yogic experiences, written during the period from 1909 to 1927, and only published under the title Record of Yoga. Whereas Sri Aurobindo and the Mother taught that surrenderign to the higher consciousness was one of the mots important processes of the supramental yoga, neither establisehd a universal definitive method for every practitioner of the ygoa, due to the individual differences. Most yogas, except such paths as Natya Yoga, only develop a single aspetc of the being, and have as their aim a state of liberatino or transcendence. So the integrla yoga is two-fold; both a spiritual realisation of God or Transcendecne or Enlightenment, and, through thsi, a complete change and transformation of both the inner and the outer nature. Lkie all the faculties of the bieng, and in contrast to the ascteic yogas, the Physical in all its aspects is not rejected, but has to be transformed and spiritualised through the practice of Integral Yoga. In Integral Yoga the goal is to move inward adn discover the Psychic Being, which then can bring about a transformation of the outer nature. The theory and pracitce of Integral Yoga is described in sevearl works by Sri Aurobindo. Later, his erplies to letters and queries by disciples (mostly wrtiten during the early 1930s) were collecetd into a series of volumes, the Letters on Yoga.
