When desire ceases entirely, grief and all inner suffering also cease ... the gnosis takes up all our emotions and turns them into various forms of love and delight, even our hatred, causes of suffering ...

The gnostic being is in its character a truth-consciousness. A secure universality of being is the very basis of this luminous higher consciousness, impossible without self-identification with all existences: unity originating diversity.
The soul dwelling in the Supreme and one with it, the infinite power and truth of the Divine - is the fundamental experience of the mental being transformed, fulfilled and sublimated in the perfection of the gnosis.
The transition from mind-self to knowledge-self is the great and decisive transition in Yoga ... the shaking off of the last hold on us of the cosmic ignorance and our firm foundation in the Truth of things.
The supramental principle is secretly lodged in all existence. In the grossest materiality it preserves and governs, assuring a possibility of its awakening. What is possible, must one day be, for that is the law of the omnipotent Spirit.
Because man has the power of self-development, he can rise beyond the natural conceptions of the materialised soul ... All is determined by the Spirit, for all is manifestation of the Spirit.
Entire subjection of the mind and the life to the body is the characteristic of an undeveloped humanity; to achieve real freedom and mastery we have to ascend to a yet higher level of our being.
To make the most of this one existence ... the consciousness of the Absolute is the highest reach of the Yoga of knowledge ... the possession of the Divine is its first, greatest and most ardent object
This larger integral knowledge and freedom liberates in the end and fulfills our whole existence. In God alone, by the possession of the Divine, all discords can be resolved; the raising of men towards the Divine is the one effective way of helping mankind
This individual being of ours is that by which ignorance is possible to self-conscious mind, but also to which liberation into the spiritual being is possible, and, the enjoyment of divine mortality.
