The object of our Fourfold
\nYoga is self-perfection, as Yoga is the Art of Conscious Self finding
\n!<\/p>\n

We are the centers and knots of Divine Consciousness, as this world is
\na movement of Brahman in His own being. The Universe is one of the rhythms of
\nBrahman, His play with His own conscious delight, with the infinities of
\nexistence and the splendours ofKnowledge. He alone exists in se, free, absolute,
\neternal and perfect, He who is self ruler ( swarat ) and all ruler ( samrat ).
\nWe are the self multiplications of that conscious Delight, thrown into being to
\nbe His playmates in the eternal Vrindavan, which is the Universe. This world is
\nmerely a formula, a rhythm and a symbol system expressing the Lord to Himself in
\nHis own self consciousness. We are like Him, in our outward being, terms of that
\nformula, symbols of that system and notes of that rhythm and in our inward
\nBeing, one with His eternal essence, with Absolute Being-Knowledge-Bliss, with
\nSat Chit Ananda. Let us lead forward the Lord’s movement, play out His play,
\nwork out His formula, execute His harmony and express Him through ourselves in
\nHis grand system, by His Grace. This is our joy and self fulfillment and the
\nculminating point of the Evolution of Consciousness of humanity. <\/p>\n

We have
\nto work out perfection and accomplish harmony. But we find that here we are
\nconfronted by the negative qualities. Ignorance, imperfection, gried,
\nlimitation, matter etc are merely the first terms of that formula. We have to
\nreinterpret the formulary to find out the inner esoteric meaning. Why the
\nnegative qualities, when He has been defined as Positive ? These negative
\nqualities are merely the initial discords of that Grand Musician’s harmony. <\/p>\n

Our aim is to construct perfection out of imperfection, to find infinity
\nout of limitation, immortality in lieu of death, Bliss out of this sorrow of the
\ntemporal, Self Knowledge out of this welter of Ignorance and to discover Spirit
\nout of this ocean of inconscient Matter. <\/span><\/b>The noble objective of the
\nFourfold Yoga, therefore, is to work out this divine end for ourselves and for
\nour brethren, so that this Earth becomes a Paradise of Bli<\/span><\/b>ss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
