==Falsehood==
All disorder, all suffering is falsehood.Thus it can be said that illnesses are falsehoods of the body. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/doctors-and-medicines#p3,p4</ref> All in us that veils or distorts or prevents the manifestation of the Divine is the falsehood.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/13/february-7-1973#p4</ref> Falsehood is not this Avidya[Ignorance], but an extreme result of it. It is created by an Asuric power which intervenes in this creation and is not only separated from the Truth and therefore limited in knowledge and open to error, but in revolt against the Truth or in the habit of seizing the Truth only to pervert it. This Power, the dark Asuric Shakti or Rakshasic Maya, puts forward its own perverted consciousness as true knowledge and its wilful willful distortions or reversals of the Truth as the verity of things. It is the powers and personalities of this perverted and perverting consciousness that we call hostile beings, hostile forces. Whenever these perversions created by them out of the stuff of the Ignorance are put forward as the Truth of things, that is the Falsehood, in the Yogic sense, ''mithyā'', moha. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/25/falsehood-and-ignorance#p2</ref>
==Fate==
The Indian explanation of fate is Karma. We ourselves are our own fate through our actions, but the fate created by us binds us; for what we have sown, we must reap in this life or another. Still we are creating new fate for the future even while undergoing old fate from the past in the present. That gives a meaning to our will and action and does not, as European critics wrongly believe, ...constitute a rigid and sterilising fatalism. But again our will and action can often annul or modify even the past Karma, it is only certain strong effects, called ''utkaṭa karma'', that are non-modifiable. Here too the achievement of the spiritual consciousness and life is supposed to annul or give the power to annul Karma. For we enter into union with the Will Divine, cosmic or transcendent, which can annul what it had sanctioned for certain conditions, new-create what it had created; the narrow fixed lines disappear, there is a more plastic freedom and wideness. Neither Karma nor Astrology therefore points to a rigid and for ever immutable fate. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/fate-free-will-and-prediction#p26</ref>
Fate is God‘s foreknowledge outside Space and Time of all that in Space and Time shall yet happen; what He has foreseen, Power and Necessity work out by the conflict of forces.
2) It may be due to the passivity taking the form of inertia—inertia brings the consciousness down towards the ordinary physical level which is soon fatigued and prone to tamas. The cure here is to get back into the true consciousness and to rest there, not in inertia.
 
3) It may be due to mere overstrain of the body—not giving it enough sleep or repose. The body is the support of the yoga, but its energy is not inexhaustible and needs to be husbanded; it can be kept up by drawing on the universal vital Force but that reinforcement too has its limits. A certain moderation is needed even in the eagerness for progress—moderation, not indifference or indolence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/24/the-triple-transformation-psychic-spiritual-supramental-iii#p90,p91,p92,p93</ref>
==Forehead Centre==
In the forehead between the eyes but a little above is the ''ājñācakra'', the centre of the inner will, also of the inner vision, the dynamic mind, etc. (This is not the ordinary outer mental will and sight, but something more powerful, belonging to the inner being.) When this centre opens and the Force there is active, then there is the opening of a greater will, power of decision, formation, effectiveness, beyond what the ordinary mind can achieve.
The centre of vision is between the eyebrows in the centre of the forehead. When it opens one gets the inner vision, sees the inner forms and images of things and people and begins to understand things and people from within and not only from outside, develops a power of will which also acts in the inner (yogic) way on things and people etc. Its opening is often the beginning of the yogic as opposed to the ordinary mental consciousness.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/22/planes-and-parts-of-the-being-xiii#p36,p37</ref>
==Foundation in Yoga==
The things that have It is not possible to be established are : ''brahmacarya'', complete sex-purity; ''śamaḥ'', quiet and harmony make a foundation in yoga if the being, its forces maintained but controlled, harmonised, disciplined; ''satyam'', truth and sincerity mind is restless. The first thing needed is quiet in the whole nature; ''praśāntiḥ'', a general state of peace and calm; ''ātmasamyama'', mind. Also to merge the power and habit to control whatever needs control in personal consciousness is not the movements first aim of the nature. When these are fairly established, one has laid the foundation on which one can develop the yoga consciousnessand with : the yoga first aim is to open it to a higher spiritual consciousness there comes an easy opening to realisation and experiencefor this also a quiet mind is the first need.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/experiencesthe-foundation-andof-realisationssadhana-i#p32p1</ref> ==Freud's Psycho-analysis-== ==Friendship==           
Peace and purity of the consciousness are the very foundation of the necessary change in the nature.
Equanimity and peace in all conditions in all parts of the being is the first foundation of the Yogic status. Either Light (bringing with it knowledge) or Force (bringing strength and dynamism of many kinds) or Ananda (bringing love and joy of existence) can come next according to the trend of the nature. But peace is the first condition without which nothing else can be stable.
Wideness and calmness are the foundation of the Yogic consciousness and the best condition for inner growth and experience. If a wide calm can be established in the physical consciousness, occupying and filling the very body and all its cells, that can become the basis for its transformation; in fact, without this wideness and calmness the transformation is hardly possible.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace-the-basis-of-the-sadhana#p1,p4,p18</ref>
==Freud's Psycho-analysis-==
The psycho-analysis of Freud is the last thing that one should associate with yoga. It takes up a certain part, the darkest, the most perilous, the unhealthiest part of the nature, the lower vital subconscious layer, isolates some of its most morbid phenomena and attributes to it and them an action out of all proportion to its true role in the nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/24/transformation-of-the-subconscient-and-the-inconscient-i#p60</ref>
==Friendship==
Friendship or affection is not excluded from the yoga. Friendship with the Divine is a recognised relation in the sadhana. Friendships between the sadhaks exist and are encouraged by the Mother. Only, we seek to found them on a surer basis than that on which the bulk of human friendships are insecurely founded. It is precisely because we hold friendship, brotherhood, love to be sacred things that we want this change—because we do not want to see them broken at every moment by the movements of the ego, soiled and spoiled and destroyed by the passions, jealousies, treacheries to which the vital is prone—it is to make them truly sacred and secure that we want them rooted in the soul, founded on the rock of the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/human-relationships-in-yoga-i#p48</ref>
