This book offers a brief overview of the different types of Yoga and then provides a comparison with the modern science of psychology. Laya-Yoga, as it was taught by Kirpal Singh (1894 - 1974) is a comprehensiv physical and mental method and widely known in India and abroad. A comparison is made with psychoanalysis especially in its form teached by J. Lacan. This study of western and eastern "spiritual" ways centers around so called FORMULA-WORDS. They each bear several meanings in one formulation and so correspond to the scientific term "unconscious" as well as to the exercises of Yoga. This comparative study culminates in a independent and new method which can connect East and West in an ideal way.
