a stage – a groping after a purer vital emotion on the way to the purest of all which is one with the Divine.Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
07. Sadhana through Love and Devotion
Fragment ID: 1468
Your difficulty is that the vital has not yet arrived at the secret of the self-existent Ananda of love, the Ananda of love’s own pure truth, the inner beauty of it for its own sake, the secret of the inner abiding ecstasy; it cannot yet believe that the thing exists. But it is travelling towards it and this feeling was probably a stage – a groping after a purer vital emotion on the way to the purest of all which is one with the Divine.
