Publisher Description "ALL LIFE IS YOGA." In The Yoga of Self-Perfection, drawn from The Synthesis of Yoga, Sri Aurobindo presents the ultimate aim of Integral Yoga: the complete transformation of human nature. Self-perfection is not moral refinement or psychological balance; it is a radical reversal of the soul's relation to mind, life, and , he writes, lives as a partially conscious being subject to mental, vital, and physical forces. The task of Yoga is to become a fully conscious soul, master rather than servant of its instruments. This mastery requires the discovery of the true Self, the highest Purusha, beyond the ego and its Aurobindo explores purification, liberation, equality, divine Shakti, and the supramental consciousness as stages in an ascending spiritual evolution. The goal is not escape from existence but the divinization of life itself. The transformation sought is not merely psychological or ethical, but ontological - a change in the very principle of , systematic, and metaphysically rigorous, this volume stands as one of the most ambitious works of modern spiritual Integral Yoga Series presents selected writings from The Synthesis of Yoga, offering a progressive exploration of action, devotion, knowledge, and self-perfection as complementary movements toward spiritual transformation and divine Aurobindo (1872-1950) was an Indian philosopher, yogi, poet, and founder of Integral Yoga. His interpretation of the Gita has become one of the most influential modern readings within Hindu philosophical and spiritual : "THE FUNDAMENTAL idea of a Yoga of self-perfection must be, under these conditions, a reversal of the present relations of the soul of man to his mental, vital and physical nature. Man is at present a partly self-conscious soul subject to and limited by mind, life and body, who has to become an entirely self-conscious soul master of his mind, life and body. Not limited by their claims and demands, a perfect self-conscious soul would be superior to and a free possessor of its instruments. This effort of man to be master of his own being has been the sense of a large part of his past spiritual, intellectual and moral strivings. In order to be possessor of his being with any complete reality of freedom and mastery, man must find out his highest self, the real man or highest Purusha in him, which is free and master in its own inalienable power. He must cease to be the mental, vital, physical ego; for that is always the creation, instrument and subject of mental, vital, physical Nature. This ego is not his real self, but an instrumentation of Nature by which it has developed a sense of limited and separate individual being in mind, life and body."
