When We Have Passed Beyond Knowings, Then

The Progressive Growth Of The Finite Consciousness Of Man Towards This Self, Towards The Universal , The Eternal, The Infinite, In A Word His Growth Into Spiritual Consciousness By The Development Of His Ordinary Ignorant Natural Being Into An Illumined Divine Nature, This Is For Indian Thinking The Significance Of Life And The Aim Of Human Existance.

Even In Rags I Am A God,fallen I Am Divine,high I Triumph When Down-trod,long I Live When Slain!

Life Was A Sorrowful Throb Of This Matter Teaching It Anguish, Teaching It Hope And Desire Trod Out Too Soon In The Mire, Life The Frail Joy That Regrets Its Briefness, Life The Long Sorrow.

With Which Part Do You Watch? Surely With The Mind? That Won't Do. It Is The Silent Purusha Within Who Must Watch All.

Yoga Is A Generic Name For Any Discipline By Which One Attempts To Pass Out Of The Limits Of One's Ordinary Mental Consciousness Into A Greater Spiritual Consciousness.
