Letters of Sri Aurobindo

1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 18979

In the Chandi it is said that the Devi is in everyone in the form of consciousness. This is the Bhagavat Chetana in all beings. In the true state, in the psychic and the Jivatman, it is united, a divine portion. In the fallen state, it is the ego. Is this correct?

I don’t understand exactly. Chitshakti or Bhagavat Chetana is the Mother – the Jivatman is a portion of it, the psychic or soul a spark of it. Ego is a perverted reflection of the psychic or the Jivatman. If that is what you mean, it is correct.
