The final step must                     be to turn the intelligent mind from the recipient and judge which                     it is now into a channel, so that the ideality will no longer send                     its messages into the lower mind, but work in itself for itself, with                     itself as its own observer and judge.

All this                     depends still on smarana; but it tends to be constant and even when                     interrupted returns immediately at the call of smarana. The effect of                     the opposition is slight and transient.

The attempt to decide by other means                     than the inspirational vijnana, whether by knowledge or will, is not                     entirely eliminated, but is now far advanced, and prevails only in                     moments of forgetfulness. As yet it is only to the extent of the old T<sup>3<\/sup>                     which was far from complete that this success obtains, but it is ex-                     tending itself to the whole range of possible intelligent thought and                     will, to complete the brihat satyam ritam. Beyond that, however,                     there is the highest T<sup>2<\/sup>, absolute, which has yet to manifest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;text-indent:25px\" align=\"justify\">\n\t\t\t<font face=\"Times New Roman\" size=\"3\">The defects in the strength of I and II [<\/font><i>first and second cha-<\/i>                     <font face=\"Times New Roman\"><i>tusthayas<\/i><\/font>] are being rapidly dealt with, except in dehashakti.                     <\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;text-indent:25px\" align=\"justify\">Raudrananda is raised to a high degree, but not yet absolute.                     Above a certain point, the first impression is pain, though ananda                     immediately intervenes and takes possession. In subsequent effects                     pain mingles, but the tendency is for ananda to prevail. The general                     receptive attitude of the physical being is anandamaya and this is                     rapidly prevailing.                     <\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;text-indent:25px\" align=\"justify\">The intelligence has not only lost, but renounced its right to                     judge; but it is still involuntarily the recipient in the lower mental                     system and even by habit in the thought, except when the latter                     acts as if by a sort of force in the inspirational ideality. The ideal                     action has not yet become natural to the whole being. The result                     was a temporary inability to act subjectively, a sunk quietude. No                     disturbance of samata, nor of dasya, but some of sraddha<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;text-indent:25px\" align=\"justify\">Rupasiddhi continues to prepare its advance.

The defect lies still in vyapti which comes to the emotion, intelligence or vital feeling,                     and in decisive trikaldrishti which is sometimes ideal, sometimes                     mental. But this is being rapidly remedied.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%;margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;text-indent:25px\" align=\"justify\">Physical siddhi has for some time been left to itself and does                     not advance. It maintains itself, but with difficulty and lapses.                     Vina smarana Ananda especially has lost its hold and comes only                     intermittently after sasmarana.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 \u00ad 28 FEBRUARY 1918 &nbsp; Feb 14.
