THE INTEGRAL YOGA
In the Integral Yoga,
the integral life
down
even to the smallest detail
has to be transformed,
to be divinised.
There is nothing here
that is insignificant,
nothing that is indifferent.
You cannot say,
“When I am meditating,
reading philosophy
or listening to these conversations
I will be
in this condition of an opening towards the light
and call for it,
but when I go out to walk or see friends
I can allow myself to forget all about it.”
To persist in this attitude
means that you will remain
untransformed and never have the true union;
always you will be divided;
you will have at best only glimpses of this greater life.
For although
certain experiences
and realisations may come to you in meditation
or in your inner consciousness,
your body and your outer life will remain unchanged.
An inner illumination
that does not take
any note of the body and the outer life,
is of no great use,
for it leaves the world
as it is.
