ABSTRACT
Emancipation or liberation is a clean freedom from all pairs of opposites, heat and cold, success and non-success, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, riches and poverty, prosperity and adversity, health and disease, life and death. It includes a definite freedom from clinging to existence as a body and from attachment to relations of any kind, by blood, sex or otherwise, and from all earthly relations such as father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife and extra. The gist of ethics and philosophy of these teachings should be both a constant companion and food. Study the teachings in their logical and chronological order. These teachings are practicable, for their methodical practice enables the student to go higher and higher in the powers of yoga without becoming afraid of either ailments or obsession. Yoga is the chief instrument to efface egoism, and to obtain equilibrium of both body and mind.
