When I rise above and before I plunge myself into some higher development the mechanical mind pulls me down. It does it so secretly and cunningly that I become aware of it only when I dm already pulled down. It is due to this defect or weakness that I am not as yet able to take full advantage of my stay on the spiritual planes.

That is a thing that happens in the earlier stages. It can be got rid of by perseverance, the length of the higher condition increasing to the requisite degrees.
