The weak man's obedience out of weakness is submission to the strong man. It is defeat. When increasing strength seeks to give up its strength in pursuit of totality through love, it becomes humility of simplicity. It is surrender.
Raja
Yoga is the consummation of Jnana Yoga. Jnana Yoga is done by thought that is one of the several
faculties of the Mind. The whole mind seeking yoga is Raja Yoga. The yoga of
the Gita excels Raja Yoga. It seeks moksha. Its instrument is surrender. The Gita's surrender is to give up the dharmas the mind has
accepted.
Tantra yoga has reached the pinnacle of yogas.
It is a synthesis of all yogas. In the grades of yogas, Tantra precedes Integral
yoga. Manomaya Purusha, Pranamaya
Purusha, Annamaya Purusha are the parts of Jivatma
appropriate to mind, vital and body. All these are unevolving souls. The
Psychic Being is the evolving soul. It is there in all parts of our being. The
Psychic emerges only after Mind evolves. He grows in two directions. Upwards he
grows to be Ishwara. Downwards he grows to be the physical psychic.
Tantra takes man to be a soul in the body. It is Annamaya Purusha. Asanas are of
the body, pranayama is of the vital, japa is of the mind. It opens the Kundalini and reaches moksha via sahasradala.
As mind is now available, the mental psychic can emerge. We need not start the
yoga in the body. We can start at Mind. As our ideal is not moksha, we can seek
the mental psychic. He grows in both the directions. Growing upwards, he opens sahasradala which is the end point of Tantra.
Through that, the Supramental Force reaches down to kundalini
and transforms the being. This is integral yoga. Its instrument is
surrender. The Jiva reaches its greatest strength
to attain moksha. It surrenders that strength in favour of Supramental
transformation.
As
mind, vital, body, and spirit are parts, Sat, Chit, Ananda are also parts. Only
Brahman is the whole. It is moveless and immutable.
Movement will rob it of its wholeness or destroy it. The moveless
Brahman which lost its wholeness in movement regaining it in
movement is the richer, higher, truer fullness of the Brahman. The
calm in the absence of problem is lost in problem. To regain
it while in the problem enriches the calm and makes it fuller.

To know the whole of Brahman
is Brahma Jnanam.
v
To consecrate it is the
consecration to the Brahman.
v
Brahma Jnanam gives Brahma Jananam
through consecration to Brahman.
v
The moveless
wholeness of Brahman securing its richer fullness in movement through surrender
in creation yields the Delight Brahman seeks.
The pride and arrogance of
Mind changing into Divine compassion through the Psychic being is
transformation. The conditions for it are Truth, Satyam;
the instrument is surrender. Mother says it is mean to ask others to do what we
cannot. To give others by our own efforts what is beyond their capacity is
generosity. Surrender changes meanness into generosity.
God disregarding his strength, following the weak man's attention is strength at its peak changing into God's compassionate love. Yoga calls it surrender.
The moveless
Brahman immersed in Ignorance desiring to remind itself of what it has
forgotten and emerging out of Ignorance, disregards its strength. It becomes
humble. Through humility it tries to restore the knowledge hidden in Ignorance.
It seeks the tool of surrender. Thus, the knowledge hidden in Ignorance seeks
the Brahman who is lost in Matter. Integral yoga fulfills itself through
surrender.
