એ પરમચેતનાનો સંસ્પર્શ!
અનમોલ, અદ્વિતીય, સઘન!
અંતઃ ટકરાતાં ઘનઘોર વન
ઓલવે ભલભલા દાવાનળ!
ભીતરે ભભૂકતાં સક્રિય જ્વલન
ઠારે જ્વાળામુખી, લાવા રસવ!
વંટોળ વાયદે વિચરે વિચારધણ
શમાવે ચક્રવાત ને રેત રજકણ!
આંધીનાં અંધાધૂંધ વૃત્તિ વલણ
ઓગાળે ઉદ્દિપકો ને ઉપકરણ!
ઝંઝોળતાં ઝંઝાવાતી ઉદ્દભવ
ઉદ્દેશ્યે જડાવે ને જોડાવે સમગ્ર!
એ સ્પર્શ! અહો અદમ્ય આલ્હાદક!
સર્વત્ર - આંતરબાહ્ય...નિરંતર...સમર્પણ...
આભારવશ...
જય હો!
સાદર...

The various movements of consciousness:
“All these are different actions of the Force on the ādhāra (physical) with the one intention of opening it up from above and below and horizontally also.
The action from above opens it to the descent of forces from above the Mind and the ascent of consciousness above the lid of the ordinary human mind.
The horizontal action opens it to the cosmic consciousness on all its levels.
The action from below helps to connect the superconscient with the subconscient.
Finally the consciousness instead of being limited in the body becomes infinite, rises infinitely above, plunges infinitely below, widens infinitely on every side. There is besides the opening of all the centres to the Light and Power and Ananda that has to descend from above.”

“The piercing of the veil between the outer consciousness and the inner being is one of the crucial movements in yoga. For yoga means union with the Divine, but it also means awaking first to your inner self and then to your higher self, – a movement inward and a movement upward. It is, in fact, only through the awakening and coming to the front of the inner being that you can get into union with the Divine. The outer physical man is only an instrumental personality and by himself he cannot arrive at this union, – he can only get occasional touches, religious feelings, imperfect intimations. And even these come not from the outer consciousness but from what is within us.
There are two mutually complementary movements in one, the inner being comes to the front and impresses its own normal motions on the outer consciousness to which they are unusual and abnormal.
the other is to draw back from the outer consciousness, to go inside into the inner planes, enter the world of your inner self and wake in the hidden parts of your being. When that plunge has once been taken, you are marked for the yogic, the spiritual life and nothing can efface the seal that has been put upon you.”

“There are two movements necessary for this connection (with the Divine center above the head) to be established.
One is upward; the vital rises to join with the higher consciousness and steeps itself in the light and in the impulsion of a higher force.
The other is downward; the vital remains silent, tranquillised, pure, empty of the ordinary movements, waiting, till the dynamic power from above descends into it, changes it to its true self and informs its movements with knowledge as well as power.
That is why the sadhak (aspirant) feels sometimes that he is rising up into a happier and nobler consciousness, entering into a brighter domain and purer experience, but sometimes, on the contrary, feels the necessity of going back into the vital, doing sadhana there and bringing down into it the true consciousness. There is no real contradiction between these two movements; they are complementary and necessary to each other, the ascension enabling the divine descent, the descent fulfilling that for which the ascension aspires and which it makes inevitable.”
