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.
