The divine objective of the Fourfold Yoga

The object of our Fourfold Yoga is self-perfection, as Yoga is the Art of Conscious Self finding !

We are the centers and knots of Divine Consciousness, as this world is a movement of Brahman in His own being. The Universe is one of the rhythms of Brahman, His play with His own conscious delight, with the infinities of existence and the splendours ofKnowledge. He alone exists in se, free, absolute, eternal and perfect, He who is self ruler ( swarat ) and all ruler ( samrat ). We are the self multiplications of that conscious Delight, thrown into being to be His playmates in the eternal Vrindavan, which is the Universe. This world is merely a formula, a rhythm and a symbol system expressing the Lord to Himself in His own self consciousness. We are like Him, in our outward being, terms of that formula, symbols of that system and notes of that rhythm and in our inward Being, one with His eternal essence, with Absolute Being-Knowledge-Bliss, with Sat Chit Ananda. Let us lead forward the Lord's movement, play out His play, work out His formula, execute His harmony and express Him through ourselves in His grand system, by His Grace. This is our joy and self fulfillment and the culminating point of the Evolution of Consciousness of humanity.

We have to work out perfection and accomplish harmony. But we find that here we are confronted by the negative qualities. Ignorance, imperfection, gried, limitation, matter etc are merely the first terms of that formula. We have to reinterpret the formulary to find out the inner esoteric meaning. Why the negative qualities, when He has been defined as Positive ? These negative qualities are merely the initial discords of that Grand Musician's harmony.

Our aim is to construct perfection out of imperfection, to find infinity out of limitation, immortality in lieu of death, Bliss out of this sorrow of the temporal, Self Knowledge out of this welter of Ignorance and to discover Spirit out of this ocean of inconscient Matter. The noble objective of the Fourfold Yoga, therefore, is to work out this divine end for ourselves and for our brethren, so that this Earth becomes a Paradise of Bliss.

Kabbalah, the Western Yoga

In the West Mysticism still exists as Gnosticism, Free Masonry, Rosicrucianism etc. Most of the English poets or philosophers we quoted belong to these philosophic groups.

Gnostics are vegetarians, they indulge in Meditation and Prayer and believe in Reincarnation. Gnosticism is based on the Kabalah or Jewish Mysticism. Philip Gardiner states that Jews are Indian philosophers. They are known in Indian Philosophy as Kalanis. Judaism and Hinduism are similar. Old Testament is same as Vedas, Kabalah same as Yoga etc.

Gnosticism, Sufism, Zen, Kabbalah - all these are nothing but Yoga.

Says Albert Pyke about Gnostics

' The Gnostics derived their ideas from Plato and Philo, from the Zend Avesta, the Kabbalah and the sacred books of India and Egypt and thus introduced into the bosom of Christianity all sorts of cosmological and philosophical speculations, derived as they are from the doctrines of the Orient and which the Neo Platonists adopted in the Occident".

Hegel, Marx, Sir Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin, Dante, Goethe, Milton, Bacon, Shakespeare were all Gnostics or Yogis. The origin of Free Masonry, which is based on Gnosticism, which is based on Kabalah, is Vedic.

The Hebrew Religion is a Vedic religion and it has its origin in the Vedas. Jesus was a Reformer. He came to modify. Mohammed took the principles of Judaism and Christianity and founded Islam. Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism etc are all derivatives of Hinduism. Hence all religions are based on Vedic teachings, Aham Brahmasmi and Tat Tvam Asi.
