Raja Yoga is as much a science as any in the world. It is the analysis of the mind, gathering the facts of the super sensuous world and so building up the spiritual world. all the spiritual leaders known to the world have said I see I know so they claim to have actual perception of the spiritual truth they taught. This perception is obtained in Yoga.
Neither memory nor consciousness can be the limitation of existence, thus there is a superconscious state. the super consciousness and the unconsciousness state are sensationless, but they have a vast difference between them this is the difference between knowledge and ignorance. Here Raja yoga is an appeal to reason as a science.
concentration of the mind is the source of all knowledge. Yoga teaches us to make matter our slave as it ought to be. Yoga means to yoke or join. i.e. join the soul of man with the supreme soul of God.
mind acts in and under consciousness. what we call consciousness is only one link in the infinite chain that is our nature.
This I of ours covers just a little consciousness and a vast amount of unconsciousness, while over it and mostly unknown to it, is the subconscious plane.
through faithful practice layer after layer of mind opens before us, revealing new facts to us. we see it as new worlds created before us. we assume new powers but we have to keep our goal in mind always and not get dazzled by these beads of glass we have to achieve the diamond.we have to long for them as a drowning man longs for breadth.
the training involves to restrain the mind from going outward, restraining the senses, turning the mind inwards, not getting disturbed by things happening around you, fastening the mind on one single goal, always thinking about that one goal making it a second nature. this is not at all easy but one can succeed.
