In this vision of Integral Yoga, the divine life is not sought apart from ordinary existence but is progressively manifested within it. The key movement is a shift of motive: actions are no longer carried out for personal gain, satisfaction, or recognition, but as offerings to the Divine, performed as worship rather than for egoistic results. This requires a deliberate consecration of activities—before beginning any work, there is an inner gesture that it be done “in You, by You, for You,” with outer success seen as secondary to inner fidelity. Such an approach turns professional duties, household tasks, and social roles into a field of yoga, where precision, sincerity, and beauty in execution become forms of self-giving and service.

To sustain this orientation, there is a practice of constant remembrance of the Divine Presence amid all circumstances. A brief inner call or mantra, repeated silently, helps to maintain this smarana during work, conversation, and even the most mundane tasks. Alongside remembrance stands aspiration: a steady, sincere longing for light, peace, and truth to descend and guide the mind, life, and body. This aspiration is complemented by surrender, a progressive yielding of personal preferences and the sense of individual doership so that a deeper Will may act through one’s nature, including in small, everyday decisions.

At the same time, there is a vigilant rejection of movements that obscure the inner truth—desire, anger, jealousy, fear, and other ego-centric tendencies. These are observed from a quiet inner center, not indulged, and inwardly offered up with the understanding that they are not the truth of the being. This witness consciousness allows a gradual purification of the instruments: the mind becomes more silent and receptive to truth rather than restless opinion; the vital energy is turned from craving toward a dynamic will to serve; and the body is used with discipline and balance so it can sustain higher states of consciousness. Difficult situations are then approached not as mere misfortunes but as occasions to bring more light into untransformed parts of the nature.

Integral Yoga insists that no part of life be left outside this process. All planes of the being—physical, vital, mental, and spiritual—are engaged, and spiritual practice is not compartmentalized away from worldly duties. Through consecration, remembrance, aspiration, rejection, and surrender, the psychic being is given increasing influence over daily choices and relationships, and others are gradually seen more as souls than as egos. In this way, ordinary life becomes a continuous spiritual discipline, a laboratory in which the individual nature is progressively opened to a higher consciousness and made ready for a more divine way of living.
