This collection from the “Practice of Integral Yoga” series contains statements by Sri Aurobindo on the topic of desire and its overcoming. It tells about the reasons for the emergence of desire and practical ways to get rid of it, about desire in yoga, about prana, its varieties and the reasons for its distortion, about the false soul of desire and the true divine soul in man, about the true goals of life, etc. In the collections of the series compiled from fragments of the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, practical issues of integral yoga are considered, as well as everyday life from the perspective of integral yoga, because true spirituality is not the rejection of life, but the art of improving it. We hope that these publications will help you take a fresh look at yourself and your life and take another step towards self-development.
