You have written: “But obviously the impersonal is not enough -for surrender to that may be limited in result to the inner experience without any transformation of the outer being.” I do not understand.

It is rather surprising that you should be unable to understand such a simple and familiar statement; for that has been always the whole reason of this Yoga that to follow after the Impersonal only brings inner experience or at the most mukti – without the action of the Integral Divine there is no change of the whole nature. If it were not so the Mother would not be here, and I would not be here – if a realisation of the Impersonal were sufficient.
