It appeals to a wide audience, including those interested in personal growth and spiritual exploration, offering insights that encourage readers to tap into their inherent strengths.

Mental health is generally understood as an absence of marked psychological disturbances such as fear, anxiety, depression, insecurity, restlessness, anger, jealousy, suspicion, etc. However it is increasingly felt that it is not the mere absence of these elements, but the presence of certain positive characteristics imparting a sense of psychological well-being such as peace, inner security, confidence, a sense of mastery, that should denote mental health. Moreover, the constant chatter and distractibility of the mind, the perpetual hankering for different objects of desire, and the recurrent pull of inertia are also states of psychological disturbance which mar inner well-being. Yoga is a psychological approach which aims at a radical change of consciousness so as to lead to a state of peace, freedom and joy. This book presents some of the principles and methods of Sri Aurobindo's integral yoga for overcoming psychological disturbances and for attaining positive mental health.

Translated from the original French, the 313 prayers and meditations in this book are a record of the Mother's early spiritual life, written, in her own words, "during years of intensive yogic discipline". Most of the diary entries she selected for publication were from the period between 1912 and 1917. In an introductory note she says she intended them to serve as a spiritual guide for seekers aspiring to consecrate themselves to self-mastery and a complete surrender to and union with the Divine. Several of the translations were done by Sri Aurobindo and some others by disciples were revised by him.

During her evening classes held in the Ashram Playground in 1954, the Mother commented on Elements of Yoga, a collection of Sri Aurobindo's replies to basic questions on yoga raised by a disciple. Responding to questions from the class, she discussed most of that book's central ideas, elaborating on the meaning and practice of such elements as aspiration, surrender, faith, sincerity, the psychic opening, and transformation.
