Letters on Himself and the Ashram

The Ashram and the Outside World

Group Meditations [3]

You [Sri Aurobindo’s secretary] can write conveying the permission to meditate with X and the others. You can also write briefly to her explaining the principle of this Yoga (its practice) which is to open oneself to the Divine Power which is always secretly there above, aspire and call down its peace, calm, purity, wideness into one’s own consciousness and its working which will change the nature and fill it with a higher light and Ananda. One’s own part is to so aspire and open oneself and to reject all that belongs to ego, desire and the lower nature.
