CHAPTER I
The Way of Works

                TO CREATE the union of his soul with the Divine Presence and Power through a perfect surrender of the will in all his activities, is the high aspiration of the seeker on the Way of Works.

        To put off like a worn-out disguise the ignorant conscious- ness and stumbling will that are ours in our present mind and life-force and to put on the light and knowledge, the purity and power, the tranquillity and ecstasy of the divine Essence, the spiritual Nature that accosts us when we climb beyond mind, is the victory after which he reaches.
        To make mind and heart and life and body conscious, changed and luminous moulds of this supramental Spirit, instruments of its light and power and works, vessels of its bliss and radiance, is the glory he assigns to his transfigured human members.
        On one side a darkened mind and life, ignorant, suffering, spinning like a top whipped by Nature always in the same obscure and misera1?le rounds, on the other a soul touched by a ray from the hidden Truth, illumined, conscious, concentrated in a single unceasing effort towards its own and the world's Highest, - this is the difference between man's ordinary life and the way of the divine Yoga.
