Passages from Lights on Yoga [4]

“The taking away of the Force of destruction implies a creation that will not be destroyed but last and develop always” [pp. 7–8]. Does this mean that in the Truth-Creation the force of destruction will be taken away and only the forces of creation and preservation remain? Does it mean that nobody will die — not even plants and animals?

That might be true if the whole world were to be supramentalised and that supramentalisation meant inability to change or put off a form, but it is not so.
