·
The four parts of Man have the Spirit in them at
different levels.
·
Man's growth is from physical to the evolving
Spirit, the Psychic.
·
In the composition of Man, infinite variations are
available as paths of progress.
·
The variety of their combinations makes for the
matrix of wonder in life.
·
Even now some physical people remain physical and
worship their physicality.
·
Orthodoxy all over the world is the vital
reinforcement of physical rituals and ceremonies.
·
Having risen to the heights of mind, people begin to
worship the physical details of it and go to the length of declaring that there
is no other fact in life than the empirical one.
·
It is the physicality of the mind.
·
The flexibility of life permits any growth at any
level to reach its acme in Brahman.
·
Thus the Westerner has discovered Brahman in Matter.
·
The rigidity of life permits progress to freeze at
the first step.
·
The purohits (priests) have taken the rituals of the
Veda as ultimate and are stuck with it for the past several thousand years.
·
Life is flexible as well as rigid. Both are partial
qualities.
·
The fullness of Life includes both. Its flexibility
is strong; its rigidity includes an opening. Strong flexibility is subtle.
Rigidity that is all opening is causal. At the level of Supermind, the
rigidity turns into differentiation without actual separation. Compassion wipes
out the cause of suffering.
·
The scheme of Nature permits parts to develop
individually and then join to complete a whole.
·
If Spirit has developed in Asia and Mind has
developed in
·
The Indian should discover the Brahman in Matter, as
the Westerner, and the American should discover the Spirit which
·
Both should move to the Supermind, thus completing
their incomplete Quest.
·
The methods are:
1.
The light in the body should rise to the Mind as
values organised in life.
2.
The values of life and work should penetrate the fabric
of existence to discover there a particle of light. Millions of such particles
can come together as the Original Light.
·
The basic requirement is the awareness of such a
goal – Brahman – and an aspiration to achieve it in life.
·
In practice it can be discovered as goals of life in
the national lives of the Indians as well as Americans as
1.
Prosperity through values.
2.
Inner Peace through enlightenment.

·
Advance of technologies renders man silly and
childish in which he delights. He can pursue the technologies to their logical
end and then discover what an illusion it is, when its discoveries knock him on
the head. Pollution was the first blow.
·
He too is free to stem the rot, look inside,
discover the whole and strike a new path. It is up to him to do so.
·
To initiate such movements in both places, pioneers
must place before the public the Real-Idea as the goal and show how to begin
from where they are. I am NOT asking for a demonstration which will spread
in due time. One who accomplishes it inwardly will become a subtle universal
centre of such a vibration.
·
It is done by accomplishment, an inner
accomplishment that expresses outside as a material reality standing there
silently without seeking publicity or wishing to propagate.
·
Any Indian who prospers through values is a silent
monument of such a goal.
·
Any Westerner who creates a family or an institution
that is inwardly joyous and outwardly a shinning star, serves this cause.
·
The values of the Westerner are work values. They
should be upgraded into life values, mental values, spiritual values and
finally values of the evolving soul, the Psychic Being.
·
The Indian should go back to the ORIGINAL spiritual values
of work, life and mind and upgrade them into psychic values.
·
They are all methods open to him according to the
amount of energy at his command.
·
He is free to go directly to the spiritual values of
the evolving soul.
·
Capacity to surrender dispenses with all these
intermediary methods and ushers him into the goal.
·
For one whose mind is set on individual methods, it
is good he works out fifty paths each way – involution and evolution – before
he can have the vision of the whole.
·
The printer in the West whose book is without
printing error has a vision of physical perfection from which he never
deflects. It is perfection for perfection's sake. It can be perfection for the
sake of the customer, which is one step higher, or for the sake of the Divine.
To discover the inner divine is the first endeavour and to refer to HIM each part of the
printing work will raise his work from printing perfection to divine
perfection.
·
The Indian who raises the level of his life, instead
of doing it for his own sake, can refer to the inner divine who is established
earlier.
·
All these can be given to children in school as
educational values from the kindergarten classes.
