A talk of about one and a half hours on the subject Yoga given in Liverpool in the early 1960s
The talk starts by looking at the origins of the word Yoga and the link to the word religion. Religion is a quite legitimate translation of the word Yoga. Religion means to yoke back to the source of being, the practice of Yoga is an attempt to return to the relationship that was once ours in the infinite and the Yogi aspires to join him or herself to infinite power. There is a discussion of philosophical basis of Yoga in India and an analysis of the terms used.
Yogis aim to become one with pure consciousness, pure consciousness is a continuum that precipitates forms within itself. The technique is to move backwards from object identification to identification with the source of all being. There is much else in the talk about universal substance, cosmic reason and Buddhi.
