I go on till I conquer

Let all men jeer at me if they will or all Hell fall upon me if it will for my presumption –I go on till I conquer or perish. This is the spirit in which I seek the Supermind, no hunting for greatness for myself or others…

[On Himself, p-144]


Sadhaka of Integral Yoga


For the Sadhaka of the integral Yoga it is necessary to remember that no written Shastra, however great its authority or however large its spirit, can be more than a partial expression of the eternal knowledge. He will use, but never bind himself even by the greatest Scripture…He must live in his own soul beyond the written Truth…He is a Sadhaka of the infinite.

[The Synthesis of Yoga, p-49]

The Yoga



The process of Yoga is a turning of the human soul from the egoistic state of consciousness absorbed in the outward appearances and attractions of things to a higher state

Avatar




An Avatar, roughly speaking, is one who is conscious of the presence and the power of the Divine born in him, or descended into him and governing from within his will and life and action; he feels identified inwardly with the divine power and presence.
