The lessons included in this book are written by an Asiatic for the English-speaking peoples of the world, and suffer from the fact that the mother tongue of the writer is not English nor Sanskrit and that his metaphysic is oriental. Much of the teaching that 1s given here has been given out privately in the Yogic schools of the select, though not in the practical form herein presented. The excuse for the book is the need of arrangement before doubting, enquiring minds prepared to question every argument and assertion; of facts and theories so that they fit in with the composite scheme presented by the Yogi philosophy.
