Inhaltsangabe

What if mastering your mind were the first step toward realizing the Absolute? The main objective of this work is the expansion of human consciousness and the awakening of the individual to the Real Self. In this profound compilation, the highest teachings of Yoga are presented with clarity and philosophical depth, exploring the Absolute and its manifestations. This volume brings together two complete works: A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga and A Series of Lessons in Gnani (Jnana) Yoga. The twelve lessons in Raja Yoga focus on mental discipline, concentration, subconscious influence, and the unfolding of consciousness, each accompanied by meditative practices. The twelve lessons in Gnani Yoga explore the unity of life, cosmic evolution, karma, and the intellectual path toward realization of the One. More than a manual of techniques, this book presents Yoga as a systematic path of inner mastery and spiritual evolution. Each reading deepens understanding, revealing new dimensions of the Self and its relationship to the Absolute. For serious students of Yoga seeking philosophical depth and transformative insight, this classic work remains essential. EXCERPT :"The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as "Hatha Yoga" deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc. What is known as "Raja Yoga" deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as "Bhakti Yoga" deals with the Love of the Absolute-God. What is known as "Gnani Yoga" deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Life-the Riddle of the Universe. Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one end-unfoldment, development, and growth."
