સંચાલક આત્મા ત્યાં ઘમંડ અભાવ
આત્માધારી અળગો ઓલીયો પ્રકાર!
ભેદ, વિભાજન, વિનિમય, વિકાર,
સત્તા, સરમુખત્યાર, સીતમ બેબુનિયાદ!
પ્રેમ-ઘૃણા, શુભ-અશુભ, લાભ-નુકસાન
દ્વિચક્રી દ્વિઅર્થી દ્વિધાને કાયમી વિરામ!
પસંદ, પરહેજ, પીડન, પ્રપંચ પ્રતાપ
ઓગળી શમે. સૌમ્ય અસ્તિત્વ પ્રમાણ.
શુદ્ધિથી આરંભ, શુભ ભાવ અસવાર
ભય, આક્રોષ અનઆકર્ષક આધાર.
ગ્રંથી, ગુત્થી, ગાંઠ વિસરે સ્વ સ્વભાવ
લયમય સરકે પળો ને વજૂદ પ્રવાહ.
સરળ, મુલાયમ, સહજ, સક્ષમ, દરકાર,
એક સ્ત્રોત, એક તાન! આત્મા ભીનો ઊજાસ...
જય હો પ્રભુ...
સાદર...
All in her pointed to a nobler kind.
Near to earth's wideness, intimate with heaven,
Exalted and swift her young large-visioned spirit
Voyaging through worlds of splendour and of calm
Overflew the ways of Thought to unborn things.
Ardent was her self-poised unstumbling will
Near to earth's wideness, intimate with heaven,
Exalted and swift her young large-visioned spirit
Voyaging through worlds of splendour and of calm
Overflew the ways of Thought to unborn things.
Ardent was her self-poised unstumbling will
Her mind, a sea of white sincerity,
Passionate in flow, had not one turbid wave
Passionate in flow, had not one turbid wave

His soul stood free, a witness and a king.
Absorbed no more in the moment-ridden flux
Where mind incessantly drifts as on a raft
Hurried from phenomenon to phenomenon,
He abode at rest in indivisible Time.
As if a story long written but acted now,
In his present he held his future and his past,
Absorbed no more in the moment-ridden flux
Where mind incessantly drifts as on a raft
Hurried from phenomenon to phenomenon,
He abode at rest in indivisible Time.
As if a story long written but acted now,
In his present he held his future and his past,
BOOK I: The Book of Beginnings 34
To the still heights and to the troubled depths
His equal spirit gave its vast assent:
A poised serenity of tranquil strength,
A wide unshaken look on Time's unrest
Faced all experience with unaltered peace.
His equal spirit gave its vast assent:
A poised serenity of tranquil strength,

BOOK I: The Book of Beginnings 36
A few are saved, the rest strive on and fail:
A Sun has passed, on earth Night's shadow falls.
Yes, there are happy ways near to God's sun;
But few are they who tread the sunlit path;
Only the pure in soul can walk in light.
Yes, there are happy ways near to God's sun;

PSYCHIC
"The psychic being is the soul developing in the evolution.
The true soul of man is ... in the true invisible heart hidden in some luminous cave of the nature: there under some infiltration of the divine Light is our soul, a silent inmost being of which few are even aware; for if all have a soul, few are conscious of their true soul or feel its direct impulse. There dwells the little spark of the Divine which supports this obscure mass of our nature and around it grows the psychic being, the formed soul or the real Man within us. It is as this psychic being in him grows and the movements of the heart reflect its divinations and impulsions that man becomes more and more aware of his soul, ceases to be a superior animal, and, awakening to glimpses of the godhead within him, admits more and more its intimations of a deeper life and consciousness and an impulse towards things divine. It is one of the decisive moments of the integral Yoga when this psychic being liberated, brought out from the veil to the front, can pour the full flood of its divinations, seeings and impulsions on the mind, life and body of man and begin to prepare the upbuilding of divinity in the earthly nature.
It is the very nature of the soul or the psychic being to turn towards the Divine Truth as the sunflower to the sun; it accepts and clings to all that is divine or progressing towards divinity and draws back from all that is a perversion or a denial of it, from all that is false and undivine. Yet the soul is at first but a spark and then a little flame of godhead burning in the midst of a great darkness .... It is only when the life turns towards the Divine that the soul can truly come forward and impose its power on the outer members; for, itself a spark of the Divine, to grow in flame towards the Divine is its true life and its very reason of existence.
The first [step of self-realisation] is the discovery of the soul, not the outer soul of thought and emotion and desire, but the secret psychic entity, the divine element within us. When that becomes dominant over the nature, when we are consciously the soul and when mind, life and body take their true place as its instruments, we are aware of a guide within that knows the truth, the good, the true delight and beauty of existence, controls heart and intellect by its luminous law and leads our life and being towards spiritual completeness. Even within the obscure workings of the Ignorance we have then a witness who discerns, a living light that illumines, a will that refuses to be misled and separates the mind's truth from its error, the heart's intimate response from its vibrations to a wrong call and wrong demand upon it, the life's true ardour and plenitude of movement from vital passion and the turbid falsehoods of our vital nature and its dark self-seekings. This is the first step of self-realisation, to enthrone the soul, the divine psychic individual in the place of the ego." SA
