Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 1

Fragment ID: 12021

It [mental realisation of the Divine] is a certain kind of living cognition – of which there are two parts – the living perception in thought rising as far as intuition or revelation, the vivid mental feeling and reproduction of what is thus known in the substance of mind. Thus the One in all is felt, seen, realised by the mind by a sort of inner mental sense. The spiritual realisation is more concrete than that – one has the Knowledge by a kind of identity in one’s very substance.
