It employed a qualitative research method to interpret the view of life in the texts. Data collection was conducted using reading-note techniques with the researcher as the main instrument.

The result of this study revealed that Raja Yoga is the way to reach God by implementing the highest yoga technique, a secret knowledge. The harmony of the Javanese way of life of Raja Marga Yoga is as follows: 1) the greatness of dharma; 2) God is the source of all sentient beings; 3) praising the God: a) Mardikå sarånå Seleh Pandamêl, b) Mardikå sarånå Bêkti. By implementing Raja Marga Yoga, the human being will be able to achieve the true objectives of life which are being united with God.
