Integral Thought
Developing and strengthening ethical consciousness through the practice of truthfulness (satya), non-violence (ahimsa), non-stealing (asteya), non self-indulgence (brahmacarya), and non-greed (aparigraha) is believed to be the first indispensable phase of Yoga practice, laying the foundation for higher self-development and deeper self-awareness....But the crowning achievement is spiritual freedom, which has been described [and frequently misunderstood] as "beyond good and evil" (dvandvatita)....By virtue of his self-integration a spiritually realized person is supra-ethical in the sense he is now by his nature incapable of doing anything harmful to human welfare....He has transcended all conflicts and tensions within his own nature; the conflict of good and evil is transcended in a unitary functioning of the total self; the hidden allurement of sin is eliminated through a thorough cleansing of the unconscious; virtue becomes second nature....The ethical motive gains a new depth and a higher creative dynamism.
