3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

When I said, “But this capacity is by no means a sign of progress”, I meant that the capacity by itself is not a sign of spiritual progress. I forgot to write “by itself” and this changed the whole meaning.

Even by itself, it is a progress in the development of the consciousness though it may not carry with it any spiritualisation of the nature.
