Á model for yogic psychosynthesis today right direction. It is the intellect that creates and applies these false defeaces, and it is the intellect alone that can get rid of them and nip them in the bud. The intellect must be so purified and so much sharpened by discrimination that Bādbaka can distinguish the true from the false, the good from the ugly, the subtle from the gross.
Tapas and Sublimation Hz Tapas too takes a new form and gets new significance in the light of new researches in physiology and hygine. Man's body does not deserve to be tortured or maimed for the sake of Tapas. It is the Tamasic type of Tapas. Real Tapas should be to enhance the original process of integrative evolution. This purpose should not be forgotten in consideration of all concepts and processes of Yoga because it is the motive power in all så. dhana.

In shaping of history too Tapas and sublimation have played a great past. It is the Tapas of innumerable unknown sādhakas and saints that have kept the movement of life process going on steadily on the moral and the spiritual grounds and they alone have boosted up evolution when and where it was possible, Tapas and sublimation alone can play a great role in shaping the future, history of man and in the present chaotic stage of history, they alone by various methods can save man from the impending doom or future shock. It can give such stablity to man as he can withstanding any future shock or even can be able to avoid it altogether.

Rasa is given due place only by Bhāgavata in the description of Krishana's life and Rasa concept came into existence in religious life. It
