The Yogi Masters are hot satisfied if the Candidate forms merely a clear intellectual conception of this Actual Identity, but they insist that he must feel the truth of the same¿must become aware of the Real Self¿must enter into a consciousness in which the realization becomes a part of his everyday self¿in which the realizing consciousness becomes the prevailing idea in his mind, around which his entire thoughts and actions revolve.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great tools for the development of mind,
By Danijel Turina (Croatia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raja Yoga or Mental Development (Hardcover)
I found this book years ago by an accident, in an antiquity store in Zagreb. More than just worthy of the five stars- I found the lessons extremely useful. However, I would advise any beginner to be careful with the "trap door" and similar techniques, since they can easily lead one to putting too many things into the subconscious realm, instead of the opposite. Things like noticing the details on things, instead of the whole - for instance, counting each scale on a fish - are extremely precious and can help you build concentration and focus. Even the apparently simple things, like focusing your eyes and mind on a dot on the wall, or visualizing your pen, or matching footsteps with imagined music, will strengthen the mind enormously, even with very little practice. Seeing it as a manual for strengthening the mind, it is an excellent book and I recommend it to everybody. However, I would advise a beginner to start with something more general, such as Yogananda's 'Autobiography' or my 'Approach' - even if it means advertising myself :), before getting into specific exercises, because it's important to have a wide spiritual perspective before starting to bother with details.

Excellent book,

This review is from: Raja Yoga or Mental Development (Paperback)
This book was very helpful to me. I now know who I am and the type of people with whom I can associate better. It taught me to see my inner feelings and what causes them. After reading about half of the book, I feel more comfortable with myself and cautious when I make decisions in my every day life. This is a must read book, it really allowed me to relate to my spiritual side of myself. It has brought out my inner thoughts. I am clearer as to why I make my every day decisions. I am more conscious of who I am and I have found a new strength in me.

This review is from: Raja Yoga or Mental Development (Paperback)
Excellent book regarding one of yoga's many mindsets. It explains the Raja yoga intention and gives great pearls of wisdom on how to achieve the desired peace of mind many seek. The key thing to remember is that you are to be the master of your mind; the mind is only your master if you let it. Learn how to be responsible for your thoughts and you will achieve much more than you can imagine. Share it with others and it will have an infinite positive ripple effect.
