Integral Yoga understands spirit and matter as two expressions of one Divine Reality, not as opposing domains to be chosen between. The material world is not treated as an illusion to be rejected, but as a real and meaningful field for spiritual evolution. Matter is seen as the Divine most deeply involved and concealed, and therefore as something to be transformed rather than escaped. This leads to a spirituality that affirms earthly life and seeks to divinize it, instead of aiming at a withdrawal into some separate transcendence.

The integration of spiritual and material life is worked out through a comprehensive transformation of the whole being. All parts of the person—body, life-energy, mind, and the inner soul—are included in the practice, with none dismissed as unspiritual. Each part is to be purified of ego and ignorance, opened to higher consciousness, and progressively reorganized around the inner psychic being and the Divine presence. This is articulated as a triple movement: a psychic transformation that brings the soul to the forefront, a spiritual transformation that stabilizes the realization of the Divine, and a supramental transformation that aims to change mind, life, and even the physical nature.

Integral Yoga also redefines spiritual practice so that ordinary life becomes the primary field of sādhanā. Work, relationships, creativity, and social responsibilities are not distractions but instruments for growth when offered to the Divine and carried out in a state of conscious remembrance. The path emphasizes both an ascent to higher states of consciousness and a descent of peace, light, force, and joy into the movements of daily existence. In this way, action in the world becomes a means of spiritualization, and every circumstance can serve as a catalyst for inner change.

Underlying this vision is a dynamic view of evolution in which consciousness progressively manifests through matter, life, and mind toward a higher, supramental consciousness. The ultimate aim is not merely individual liberation but the manifestation of a divine life on earth, a unified state in which spiritual realization permeates and reshapes material existence. Spiritual and material are thus integrated by recognizing the Divine at every level of being and by allowing that recognition to transform the whole of life, inwardly and outwardly.
