“Truth of philosophy is of a merely theoretical value unless it can be lived,and we have therefore tried in The Synthesis of Yoga to arrive at a synthetical view of the principles and methods of the various lines of spiritualself-discipline and the way in which they can lead to an integral divine life in the human existence”.In the Synthesis of Yoga Sri Aurobindo unfolds his vision of an integral yoga embracing all the powers and activities of man. First, he reviews the three great yogic paths of Knowledge, Works and Love, and Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga and Tantra. Then, in a section entitled, ‘The Yoga of Self-Perfection’, he presents his own unique contribution to the field.
