01. The Triple Transformation: Psychic – Spiritual – Supramental

Fragment ID: 2401

It is quite correct that weeping brings in the forces that should be kept outside – for weeping is a giving way of the inner control and an expression of vital reaction and ego. It is only the psychic weeping that does not open the door to these forces – but that weeping is without affliction, tears of bhakti, spiritual emotion, or Ananda.

Your experience was a very beautiful one – the inner being realises by such experiences that which must be established in the waking state as the foundation of the spiritual consciousness and spiritual life.
