For over fifty years students have been side-tracked regarding the true methods of Yoga; for in nearly every book dealing with this subject they have been told to “Concentrate inwardly.” This is false; as such concentration attracts atoms of personality and desire. Neither should the word “I” be used; for this again brings the personal element into play. It is impossible to pass inwardly by direct concentration unless one also aspires. Only through personal contact with a Master has a student been taught the true method.
Man is a prisoner within the atmosphere of this world, but his Higher self awaits the time when he will release himself from bondage and return to it. This union can be accomplished in one life if the student will but ASPIRE and bring into activity those dormant properties of matter within him of which he has been unaware.
Man is a solar system in miniature, governed by his Innermost that dwells within Its sanctuary and seldom manifests beyond Its temple. If we are to gain Its recognition of our efforts to reach Its presence, we must aspire to this inner seat of government.
