Milnd cannot arrive at identity with the Absolute. The indivisible being and action of the universal which is its real truth escapes the mind, as mind is analytical and divisive. The mind is a power of the Ignorance; the supermind contains all knowledge in itself and is, on all levels, truth-conscious … everything in the mind derives from the supermind, realize that everything derives from the spirit.
The will of man works in the ignorance by flickerings of light which mislead; it is an ignorance striving to get it right … therefore man’s whole mentality results in a house divided against itself. … Only by oneness with the spiritual and supramental being can the will of the mind and life discover the right force in its true and complete light and direction.
