About This Book

This practical manual presents techniques and theory for mental and spiritual discipline, centering on concentration practiced both outwardly (skillful, objective attention) and inwardly (meditative, subjective focus). It explains polarity between evolution and involution, examines concepts such as maya, guru devotion, and will-force, and prescribes posture and steadiness exercises alongside methods of prayerful receptivity and dynamic application in daily life. Emphasis falls on patient, private practice, development of bodily health and willpower, and the balanced cultivation of inner receptivity and confident action in the world.
