Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume IV - Part 2
Fragment ID: 14057
The Divine is there in all men, so the Divine and the ego do live together. But the Divine is veiled by the ego and manifests in proportion as the ego first submits itself, then recedes and disappears. There can be no complete possession by the Divine without disappearance of the ego. Any man can be an instrument of the Divine – the thing is to be a perfectly conscious instrument.
