Phenomena of Varieties of Spiritual
Experience: Synthesis in Integral
Realisation
There is, however, an important problem
from the phenomena of the varieties of spiritual experience.
In the course of the history of yoga, there have been detailed
investigations of the object of knowledge, status
of yogic knowledge that has been obtained through
yogic processes
and the results of yogic experiences for the highest well-
being of the individual and the world at all levels of
existence, spiritual, mental, vital, and physical. In this course
of development, the field of inquiry would have
been much
easier and much simpler if methods were uniform and if th

Here is another document, even more definite in
character, which, the writer being a Swiss, I translate from
the French original.ยน
"I was in perfect health: we were on our sixth day of
tramping, and in good training. We had come the day
before from Sixt to Trient by Buet. I felt neither fatigue,
hunger, nor thirst, and my state of mind was equally
healthy. I had had at Forlaz good news from home; I was
subject to no anxiety, either near or remote, for we had a
good guide, and there was not a shadow of uncertainty
about the road we should follow. I can best describe the
condition in which I was by calling it a state of equilibrium.
When all at once I experienced a

Recapitulation: Some Questions and Answers
What has been stated so far is only a glimpse of the
varieties of yogic experience, and what is stated is far too
inadequate even to serve as a preface to the descriptions of
yogic experiences available in the history of relevant
literature. A few broad rough strokes have been cast, and
many important systems of yoga such as those of the Veda
and the Upanishads, and many traditions of the East and the
West have been either just mentioned or altogether
unpardonably ignored.

gathered, โ if we make a studious and critical study of the
important literature on yogic expe

A Preliminary Note
If experience is a means of knowledge, and even of higher and the highest degrees and kinds of knowledge by identity in which the subject and the object of knowledge are united, and if such experiences are a means of growth, of ennoblement of character and personality, of expansion, deepening and heightening of consciousness and will-force, then yoga stands out, โ considering the methods that it has developed for attaining depths, heights and widenesses as also objectivity and certainty, โ as a human endeavour of the highest value. For yoga is, at all levels of its stages, based on experience and it develops by accumulation of experience, and its

CONTENTS
OF EDUCATION
Aims of education determine the contents and
methods of education. If our aim is that of life-long
integral education, the contents of education have
to be conceived quite differently from what are
normally pursued in our present system of education.
In India, almost all schools follow a curriculum
which was originally designed to arrive at the end
of the educational process within a limited period
and to fashion clerical abilities among students.
Gradually, it has been expanded to suit the needs
of producing lawyers, engineers, medical doctors,
businessmen and teachers. Vocational courses have
only been recen
