Yes, I understand. What I have understood as the essence and crux of this yoga is opening and surrender to The Mother. The whole secret and safety lies in this central secret of the Integral Yoga, as Sri Aurobindo put it. Here are few passages that reveal to us the core of the Integral Yoga.
‘By remaining psychically open to the Mother, all that is necessary for work or sadhana develops progressively, that is one of the chief secrets, the central secret of the sadhana.’
(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/opening-to-the-mother-and-the-integral-yoga#p22)
‘All can be done by the Divine, the heart and nature purified, the inner consciousness awakened, the veils removed, if one gives oneself to the Divine with trust and confidence—and even if one cannot do so fully at once, yet the more one does so, the more the inner help and guidance comes and the contact and the experience of the Divine grows within. If the questioning mind becomes less active and humility and the will to surrender grow in you, this ought to be perfectly possible. No other strength and tapasya are then needed, but this alone.’
(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/surrender#p12)
