Fragment ID: 16239

1933

It is said that the mental control has to be replaced by a divine control. Between these two there is a period of transition when there is no control at all. How is one then to deal with the activities of life?

You have to call down the higher control in such a case. But the withdrawal of mental control need not be sudden and complete – it can be replaced as it goes by the action of the Purusha – his consent or refusal.
