Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

February 20, 1932

Rising into the higher Sat-Chit-Ananda Consciousness, I united myself with you.... I found myself standing upon a ball of world in the golden lights of infinite vastnesses... a sun was radiating through all the centres ofthe body and turning each centre into a small radiating sun and flowing powerful electric currents in the body....

Multitudes of people lived upon this world and were seen moving in different directions.... The radiating Light was flowing upon all these people through unity of the centres of the Sukshma Deha....

This is the opening by the power of the overmind, to the Cosmic Consciousness — to a certain extent, not complete. For, the complete Cosmic Consciousness takes time to come. What you saw was a symbol of the Cosmic force acting upon and through the separate individuals even when they were not conscious of it.
