Chapter II Synthesis of Yoga
“The Three Steps of Nature” puts forth that in man’s evolution there are three successive elements: a bodily life (the basis of our existence here in the material world) and a mental life into which we emerge, raising the bodily to higher uses, enlarging it into a greater completeness, and a divine existence…..which is at once the goal of the other two.
These concepts are explored and explained in depth.
The duration of the reading of this chapter is 35 minutes. Listening could be for approximately 15 minutes at a time, in order to maintain attention and derive the greatest benefit from Sri Aurobindo’s writing, as he so patiently describes the Integral Yoga. Of course it may be listened to in its entirety, according to one’s condition and attention span.
