Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

Fragment ID: 12934

What you are experiencing is the true foundation of the spiritual life and realisation. It has three elements – first, the love which is the heart of Bhakti; then the descent of peace and equanimity which is the first necessary basis for realisation of self and the higher knowledge – what comes with it is the descent of the force which will work out in you the whole sadhana; thirdly, the feeling of a guiding presence or power which is the basis of Karma – of work and action founded in the spiritual consciousness.
