=What is Rejection’s Role in Integral Yoga?=
In Integral Yoga, the effort demanded of the sadhak is that of aspiration, rejection and surrender. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/resistances-sufferings-and-falls#p28</ref>
The goal of Integral Yoga is transformation. The transformation must be integral, and integral therefore the rejection of all that withstands it." <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/26-april-1951#p16</ref>
So if we truly want to progress and acquire the capacity of knowing the truth of our being, that is to say, what we are truly created for, what we can call our mission upon earth, then we must, in a very regular and constant manner, reject from us or eliminate in us whatever contradicts the truth of our existence, whatever is opposed to it. In this way, little by little, all the parts, all the elements of our being can be organised into a homogeneous whole around our psychic centre. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-science-of-living#p5</ref>
=What to Reject and Why=
Rejection means rejection of the movements of the lower nature—rejection of the mind’s ideas, opinions, preferences, habits, constructions, so that the true knowledge may find free room in a silent mind,—rejection of the vital nature’s desires, demands, cravings, sensations, passions, selfishness, pride, arrogance, lust, greed, jealousy, envy, hostility to the Truth, so that the true power and joy may pour from above into a calm, large, strong and consecrated vital being,—rejection of the physical nature’s stupidity, doubt, disbelief, obscurity, obstinacy, pettiness, laziness, unwillingness to change, tamas, so that the true stability of Light, Power, Ananda may establish itself in a body growing always more divine. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mother-ii</ref>
