Concentration in the Mental Centre to Achieve the Realisation of the Divine Presence in the Integral Yoga
Traditional yogic disciplines advise the seeker to concentrate between the eyebrows, chanting OM and focusing on the Divine Will. Sri Aurobindo notes this practice, and develops it to provide access to the higher ranges of consciousness above the mental level. The Isha Upanishad notes that there is a “lid” that is brilliant and golden in color that prevents the seeker from seeing the Truth of existence. That lid is the border between the mental and the higher planes.
