Synopsis Raja-Yoga is as much a science as any in the world.  It is an analysis of the mind, gathering the facts of the super-sensuous world and so building up the spiritual world.  All the great spiritual teachers the world has known said, 'I see and I know'.  Jesus, Paul and Peter all claimed actual perception of the spiritual truths they taught.  This perception is obtained by Yoga.  Neither memory nor consciousness can be the limitation of existence.  There is a conscious state are sensationless, but with a vast difference between them - the difference between ignorance and knowledge.  Present 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 'yoke', 'to join', that is, to 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 superconscious plane.
