The ego in us makes claims on the Divine other than the spiritual claim … but so long as these claims take the egoistic form, they are open to perversions, falsehood … in fact, the claim of our being upon the Divine is fulfilled only when we are satisfied with That alone. … this is the sense of self-surrender to the Divine … the will, the aspiration is ours because it is his will in us. … this is the aim which we must have before us … which can be carried out as we become insistently aware of the spiritual presence of the divine Shakti … this surrender of ourself to the Shakti is actually a form of real self-surrender to the Divine. … All our consciousness is his consciousness … finally there is only the conscious activity in us of the Divine, fully conscious, …. this is the highest realisation of the perfection and delight of the active oneness.
