Side by side with instructions on practical Yogic processes, place always stress upon the
great importance of Sadachara, Yama and Niyama. Inspire the students with noble idealism.
Spur them on to strive for a life of lofty virtue, active goodness and selflessness. You must stress
the need for self-purification and self-mastery. The true inner Yoga is the transformation of the
essential nature of man. The lower human nature should gradually give place to an illumined
divine nature through a process of spiritualization of the entire being of man. This should be
brought home in an effective manner, yet withal with great sympathy, understanding and insight.
The aim is to attain divine consciousness.
