PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA, II
Integral yoga cannot be a mere mental operation, nor any other yoga can.
You need a passion for life.
If you don´t have such passion for life, you should rather close your books and try to heal yourself, because there is some blockage somewhere that impeach you to feel and live such passion for life.
You can´t create such passion for life by a mental operation, you are entering a world of deep sincerity with yourself, which is the only base on which you can build a real and everlasting transformation, without sincerity you can´t build anything at all.
People seem to forget, or have not perception at all, that a poet -as Sri Aurobindo was-
is a person with a deep passion for life, a deep concern for life, and ultimately, a deep love for the Creator that give us a chance to participate in such a wonderful experience as to transform ourselves in integrators of His Will.
It is this deep love and concern for life which is the engine of any true transformation, whatever else is a lie and a postponement of your transformative work.

PAGES ON INTEGRAL YOGA,I
I write for the future.
My present traveling companions are not ready to accept that I may have reached farther than them. Of course, I´m generalizing, there are exceptions, and I know perfectly well for inner experience that there is anyway a vanguard of people that have been called and merrily agreed to be part of a front wave of Gladness and Transformation which is now tiding on earth.
It is the future itself, because the future transformation and people are already here, they are nesting the next step of the human march.
As for myself, I´ve observed that not all at ready to admit to themselves that I had and have a personal relation with Sri Aurobindo.
If they were to admit it, they would implicitly admit their own din.
That is why I´m writing for the future people, they will be more ready to perceive how close they are to the experiences that have opened in front of me.
Sri Aurobindo has to became your inner self. It is not question of being his follower, one has to integrate His Consciousness to his own.
Take the example of the Christ: some were and are his followers but others -as they say-
were building the christic presence in their heart.
It is the same thing with Sri Aurobindo. We are not called to be his followers, but his realizers, the realizers of that same consciousness.
We should lose the habit to consider him a person, and start to consider him a Consciousness. A level of integrating and integrative consciousness.
The habit to consider him a person has the tendency of creating a cult, in this case a real intellectual sect of people which would consider that person (their Master) higher then, or better then,
and consider themselves part of a privileged group which happened to discover that extraordinary person. But I have met integrative people which are very close to that consciousness even without ear before the name of Sri Aurobindo.
In fact, it is not question of names, it´s question of consciousness.
As I said, we are not called to create a cult, but to be ourselves realizers, and in integral yoga the realization is an integral and integrating realization.
As soon as you are taking or creating distance among you and others, or among Masters, you are already out of the path of an integrative yoga, which is your aim after all.
When I first started to have experiences with him (with that consciousness), I was not his follower nor I dared to think I was practicing integral yoga, but I had developed an integrative vision on my own, it was really impossible for me to put one Master behind another one, they all had a similar space and reverence within my heart.
A deep reverence for each of them I mean.
They all were for me messengers from the Divine, and from each of them I could learn a lesson.
It is possible that the integrative vision I had built was one of the reasons why that consciousness and being came to me.
As you know, he provided me with a central vision (the Vision of Savitri to transmit to you), but that "he-consciousness" started to built within me bridges of consciousness, relating parts of my being previously des-connected.
That is the esoteric work that the Sri Aurobindo-Consciosness made into myself, much as the Christ rising in the heart of the christian.
And that is the possibility which opens in front of your eyes as soon as you enlarge wide enough your integrative vision, you find the Sri Aurobindo Consciousness within yourself as previously others discovered the christic consciousness within their heart.
