Synthesis of Yoga
Sri Aurobindo’s principal work on yoga: the Synthesis of Yoga, which explains his own Integral Yoga as it examines the traditional systems of yoga.
This reading: Part Two The Yoga of Integral Knowledge, the first half of Chapter 23 The Conditions of Attainment to the Gnosis on page 488.
“Man is in his principle a mental being … the gnostic being is in its character a truth-consciousness … its action is a self-fulfilling, radiating action of the truth-power of things, according to the inner law of their deepest truest self and nature. This truth of things at which we must arrive before we can enter in the gnosis … is a truth of unity … unity originating diversity … multiplicity … and still unity always .. impossible without self-identification of ourselves with all existences, a universal pervasiveness … comprehension … all-in-allness …
A secure universality of being is the very basis of this luminous higher consciousness.”
