Synthesis of Yoga
Sri Aurobindo, the Synthesisi of Yoga, Part Two Yoga of Integral Kowledge, continuation and conclusion of Chapter 18 The Soul and Its Liberation, pages 440-445.
” … an individual salvation in heavens beyond careless of the earth is not our highest objective; the liberatioon and self-fulfillment of others is as much our own concern, – we might almost say, our divine self-interest, – as our own liberation. Otherwise our unity with others would have no effective meaning. To conquer the lures of egoistic existence in this world is our first victory over ourselves; to conquer the lure of individual happiness in heavens beyond is our second victory; to conquer the highest lure of escape from life and a self-absorbed bliss in the impersonal infinity is the last and greatest victory. … our entire spiritual freedom.” Thus spake Sri Aurobindo; the next reading will be on page 446 The Planes of Our Existence.
