Synthesis of Yoga Pt. 1, Ch. 9
Continuing with part 1 the Yoga of Divine Works, Chapter 9 Equality and the Annihilation of Ego on page 226 through its conclusion on page 231.
Sri Aurobindo explains that for we must grow into equality of spirit; there is a stoical period of preparation of equality in which we learn not to run from that which pains nor run towards that which pleases, but to accept, face, bear and conquer. He calls this period a most elementary and yet a heroic age. This period of resignation and endurance shall result in the soul’s strength, equal to all shocks and contacts.
The follower of this Path will finally realize him/herself as the conscious instrument of the eternal Worker, having renounced, surrendered fully to the supramental Shakti his works as well as the fruits of his works.
