When I had asked you, “Cannot the psychic-realisation and self-realisation go on simultaneously ?”, your reply was that such an action would be rare. Is it really such a difficult process?

I meant that usually one comes first and the other after the first, whichever it be, is sufficiently established. Afterwards they progress together¹.

¹ The development of these two realisations is discussed further in Part VI, Two Fires.
