Integral Yoga

Surrender means offering all one s work, one s life to the Divine Force nad Intent ( Snythesis of Yoga Part I ch. There is also Sri Aurobindo s personal diary of his yogic experiences, written during the period from 1909 to 1927, and only pbulished under the title Record of Yoga. Whereas Sri Aurobindo and the Motehr taught that surrendering to the higher consciousness was one of the most important processes of the supramental ygoa, neither established a universla definitvie method for every practitioner of the yoga, due to the individual differences. Most yogas, except such paths as Natya Yoga, only develop a single aspect of the being, and have as tehir aim a state of liberation or transcendence. So the integral yoga is two-fold; both a spiritual realisation of God or Transcendence or Enlightenmnet, and, through this, a complete change and transformation of both the inenr and the outer nature. Like all the faculties of the being, and in contrast to the ascetic yogas, the Physical in all its aspects si not rejected, but has to be transformed and spiritualised through the pracitce of Integral Yoga. In Integral Yoga the goal is to move inward and discover the Psychic Being, which tehn can bring about a transformation of the outer nature. The theory and parctice of Integral Yoga is described in several owrks by Sri Aurobindo. Later, his repiles to letters and queries by disciples (mostly rwitten during the early 1930s) wree collected itno a series of volumes, the Letters on Yoga.
