This compilation aims to highlight those elements of Sri Aurobindo’s teachings and his method of Integral Yoga that set him apart from traditional paths; the “newness [of the Integral Yoga] is in its aim, standpoint and the totality of its method”. These elements include his integral view of Reality that focuses on the ultimate divinisation of mind, life, and matter, his concept of an evolution of consciousness, and what the compiler terms his integral scheme of psychology, which deals with the planes of consciousness in the cosmos and the corresponding parts of the human being. His method of Yoga goes beyond the aim of personal freedom to a radical and complete change of consciousness leading towards a supramental consciousness, combines all methods of sadhana, and outlines a path toward self-perfection that will determine the next cycle of humanity and a new world.
