descent, so no question about it can arise – unless one knows that there has been an unfelt descent by the results it leaves behind. Also its descending only up to the mental or other level and no farther does not make it a non-descent.Sri Aurobindo

If a higher descent is not felt or if it is stopped on its way, could it still be called descent?
If a descent is not felt, one cannot know that there was a descent, so no question about it can arise – unless one knows that there has been an unfelt descent by the results it leaves behind. Also its descending only up to the mental or other level and no farther does not make it a non-descent.
