Aurobindo wrote:The triple way takes for its chosen instruments the three main powers of the mental soul-life of the human being.
Knowledge selects the reason and the mental vision and it makes them by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of a God-directed seeking its means for the greatest knowledge and the greatest vision of all. God-knowledge and God-vision. Its aim is to see, know and be the Divine.
Works, action selects for its instrument the will of the doer of works; it makes life an offering of sacrifice to the Godhead and by purification, concentration and a certain discipline of subjection to the divine Will a means for contact and increasing unity of the soul of man with the divine Master of the universe.

通常的瑜伽，是运用我们的某一或部分权能，为法门，为载具，为道路；

什么是瑜伽
瑜伽是一个音译词，意译的话，可以直接就说是修行。
aurobindo用了一个不错的比喻：瑜伽的方法，与人的寻常心理功能的关系，就好像我们人类操纵和应用电力，和大自然本身的电力现象，之间的关系。我们人类掌握了电磁的知识，可以运用到很精妙的程度，电灯电话电脑...而在人类没有掌握电磁力之前，只有大自然的闪电静电等寻常现象。
因此可以说，瑜伽，或者说，修行，是人类精神的一个冒险探索，试图通过强化我们精神力量的某些功能，看到底我们能够得到什么。
