The Synthesis of Yoga was not meant to be1 a method for all to follow. Each side of the Yoga was dealt with separately with all its possibilities and an indications as to how they meet so that one starting from knowledge could realise Karma and bhakti also and so with each path. It was intended when the Self-Perfection2 was finished, to suggest a way in which all could be combined, but this was never written. The Mother and the Lights were not intended to be a systematic treatment of the sadhana as a whole; they only touch on various elements in it.
