08. Human Relationships in Yoga

Fragment ID: 1566

The influence of the love for the Divine when it takes hold of any part is to turn it towards the Divine – as you describe it “concentration on the Mother” – and in the end all is gathered and harmonised around this central turn of the being. The difficulty is with mechanical parts of the being in which the old thoughts go on recurring by habit. If the concentration continues to grow, this becomes a thing of little importance at the circumference of the mind and in the end drops away to be replaced by things that belong to the new consciousness.
