About Discourses on The Synthesis of Yoga - Volume XI

The previous volume in this series showed how the psychology of self-perfection applies to the instrumentation of the being, its purification in preparation for the liberation of the Spirit and the Nature, which is where Volume Eleven begins. The liberation of the soul into the limitless Spirit demands freedom from the first two “master-knots of the lower nature”: desire and ego. The liberation of the Nature exacts freedom from the second two: the dual action of Nature and the rule of the three gunas. Subsequent chapters delineate the elements of perfection starting from a basic equality of the soul mounting to an ideal action of the Divine through the perfected being. Along with an integral equality comes the requisite raising of the capacities of the actions of the mind, life, and body to a divine level. In the final chapters the author speaks of the Divine Shakti and how faith in the action of the Shakti is the most essential element in helping to perfect the instrumental being.
