The Synthesis of Yoga - Sri Aurobindo Ashram

permanently conscious, of this greater leading behind the veil,
and that may happen long before his whole nature has been
purified in all its parts from the lower indirect control. Even, he
may be thus conscious from the beginning; his mind and heart,
if not his other members, may respond to that seizing and penetrating
guidance with a certain initial completeness from the very
first steps of the Yoga. But it is the constant and complete and
uniform action of the great direct control that more and more
distinguishes the transitional stage as it proceeds and draws to
its close. This predominance of a greater diviner leading, not
personal to ourselves, indicates the nature’s increasing ripeness
for a total spiritual transformation. It is the unmistakable sign
that the self-consecration has not only been accepted in principle
but is fulfilled in act and power. The Supreme has laid his
luminous hand upon a chosen human vessel of his miraculous
Light and Power and Ananda.
