12. Experiences of the Inner and the Cosmic Consciousness

Fragment ID: 2176

The difference is when a thing is done with the inner mind and when it is done only with the outer brain. What you feel is the inner mind taking it up – then it becomes part of the consciousness and things are really learned – the working of the outer mind is always difficult and superficial.

It is evident that the inner being in you is beginning to come more and more forward. As it does so, these outer difficulties will be more and more pushed out and the consciousness will keep the peace and force at first in the greater part of it, afterwards in the whole.
