Raja-Yoga or Conquering the Internal Nature

This book is about the practice of Raja Yoga. The method has been called the soul of all the yogas. The emphasis here in on the control of the mind through concentration and meditation. Raja yoga is also called the yoga of meditation. It is regarded as the psychological way to union with God. Rousing the Kundalini is the one and only way to attain Divine Wisdom. The rousing may come in various ways: through love for God, through the mercy of perfected sages, or through the power of the analytic will of the philosopher. Wherever there was any manifestation of what is ordinarily called supernatural power or wisdom, there a little current of Kundalini must have found its way into the Sushumna. Only, in the vast majority of such cases, the people had ignorantly stumbled on some practice which set * a minute portion of the coiled-up Kundalini. All worship, consciously or unconsciously, leads to this end.
