perverted when the vital takes up the action of the force of Love of whose true or divine nature it is unconscious.Sri Aurobindo
Letters of Sri Aurobindo
07. Sadhana through Love and Devotion
Fragment ID: 1492
It is the vital seeking to pour itself out with the implicit idea of getting a return in interchange. The consciousness of oneness is something behind all life and all forms of affection come no doubt from it, but not consciously, and they get changed, mixed, perverted when the vital takes up the action of the force of Love of whose true or divine nature it is unconscious.
