Recognising Divinity [2]

Shall man know of your divinity only after the supermind has {{0}}descended?[[It is not clear from the context whether the correspondent’s “your” refers to Sri Aurobindo or the Mother or both. The same is true of “you” in the next letter. — Ed.]]

There is no necessity of the supermind for that. It is the inner consciousness that has to recognise — it is impossible for the outer mind to know it by its own reasonings.
