Your question about Yoga bringing merely a feeling of Power without any result was really very strange. Who would be satisfied with such a meaningless hallucination and call it Power?
At the Feet of The Mother
Dilip Kumar Roy
Certainly, the Divine must be such a certitude not only as concrete but more concrete than anything sensed by ear or eye or touch in the world of Matter; but it is a certitude not of mental thought but of essential experience.
For the moment I need only say that the Divine can be and is everywhere, masked or half-manifest or beginning to be manifest, in all the planes of consciousness.
No lasting superstructure can be erected except on a solid basis of true Knowledge. The feet must be sure of their ground before the head can hope to kiss the skies.
I can only say that whether by tapasya or surrender does not matter, the one thing is to be firm in setting one’s force to the goal.
It is quite impossible for me to dismiss you or to consent to your going away like this from us. If the idea of this kind of separation is possible to you, for us it is inconceivable that our close relation should end like this.
I absolutely refuse to accept your plea of inability or admit any ground for outcry and despair. You have got to root out this self-discouraging attitude from your vital and to succeed.
No doubt, (Jung and the psychologists) are very remarkable men in their own field, but this new psychology looks to me very much like children learning some summary and not very adequate alphabet.
It was a great refreshment to read the letters of Krishnaprem — one feels there a stream from the direct sources of Truth that one does not meet so often as one could desire.
