Tracing the Possibility of Human Evolution Through Integral Yoga: An Aurobindonian Method Towards Sustainability and Collective Well Being

Integral Yoga is a systematic spiritual practice by which one can discover one’s real self and its connection to the divine. According to this theory and practice of Sri Aurobindo, the Spirit created the Universe by manifesting itself into many in a playful self-involution process. Therefore each of the physical, mental, vital faculty of the world share the original divine consciousness of the spirit as its truth. But we only see things as they appear from outside. Through the practice of Integral Yoga one can find the existence of the consciousness in everything and can step over the narrow viewpoint. A sense of shared integration can be realized then. This collective integration is the way towards evolution and so is the fuel of sustainability. The attempt here is to bring forth the relevance of Integral Yoga as a scientific solution in the contemporary crisis of spiritual disintegration.
