About This Book

This work presents twelve instructional lessons in Raja Yoga that guide students from recognizing the Real Self through progressive practices for mental discipline, attention, perception, and will. It explains degrees of awakening, consciousness of the I and of the I AM, and outlines exercises, mantras, and mental drills to cultivate control, unfold latent faculties, map mental planes, and shape subconscious character and influences. Emphasis falls on self-mastery: distinguishing the Self from its tools, sustained study and practice, and steady development of inner power and realization.
