Power of expression
Remarkable power of expression, which comes in this way, spontaneously, through the inner contact with the psychic being.

An exterior power has value only in proportion of its expression of the power of Truth.

The power of expression comes by getting in touch with the inner source from which these things come.

Expression
For a certain state of consciousness there is not a single word, not a gesture, not an action which does not express a deeper or higher reality, more lasting, more essential, more true; and once one has seen and felt that, everything takes on a meaning, and one sees more clearly how things ought to be organised, arranged, so that a deeper truth may express itself still better than it does at present.

The truest expression comes out of an absolute inner silence.

When I speak of the physical consciousness, I mean the physical mind and the physical vital as well as the body consciousness proper.

In my view the body as well as the mind and life has to be spiritualised or, one may say, divinised so as to be a fit instrument and receptacle for the realisation of the Divine. It has its part in the Divine Lila, even, according to the Vaishnava Sadhana, in the joy and beauty of Divine Love. That does not mean that the body has to be valued for its own separate sake or that the creation of a divine body in a future evolution of the whole being has to be contemplated as an end and not a means - that would be a serious error which would not be admissible. In any case, my speculations about an extreme form of divinisation are something in a far distance and are no part of the preoccupations of the spiritual life in the near future.
