\n7 \u00ad 22 APRIL 1927<\/font> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 7. 1927 Thursday <\/font><\/p>\n

There must be an entire submission to the transforming Power and the transforming process. However tedious it may [seem], each step, each recoil is inevitable; nothing is done unwisely or vainly in the economy of the supreme processes. <\/p>\n

There is a sure means of distinguishing the truth from the falsehood. Pause and refer to the Light of the gnosis. <\/p>\n

The truth that comes may not be all the truth, but it is that which is needed and effective at the moment. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

Entire passivity first, a passive surrender. <\/p>\n

Entire equanimity next, an absolute samata. <\/p>\n

An entire and harmonised strength of the divine nature <\/p>\n

An entire faith in the Supreme and his Divine Power, in the process and the result of the process. These are the four conditions of the rapid and decisive change. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 8th<\/sup> Friday <\/font><\/p>\n

The conditions are satisfied to a sufficient degree. The next steps are now possible which will make them perfect. <\/p>\n

First the decisive T2<\/sup>, the exact T3<\/sup>, the perfect thought in the gnosis or at least in the supramental gnosis\u2014<\/font>ie the three degrees intuition, supermind, gnostic supermind, if not yet in the fourth or supreme degree of divine gnosis. <\/p>\n

Second, the consciousness gnostic in all the body and all the environmental atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Third, the gnostic Power in the body for the transformation of the body.<\/p>\n

\nApril 9th<\/sup>
\n<\/font>
\nSaturday.<\/font><\/span> <\/p>\n

Passivity is now practically complete; surrender in the physical consciousness a little less, but still almost complete. <\/p>\n

Equanimity is moving towards automatic completeness but is still imperfect. <\/p>\n

Faith is limited and poor
\n.<\/p>\n

Strength is there, but neither harmonised nor complete<\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n[<\/font>Three pages with other writing (probably written earlier)<\/i> intervene here.<\/i><\/font>] <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 9<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

\nThe first gradation of the Gnosis, ie the intuitivity, is being now securely organised in a universal and automatic action. <\/p>\n

It is still mixed with mental stuff, imperfect therefore, limited in scope, insecure in decisive T2<\/sup>; but it is there. <\/p>\n

It has to be perfected. Meanwhile the others will be made ready. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

Exact T3<\/sup>
\nand<\/span> perfect thought in the intuition. This is ready to be perfect. Perfect it. <\/p>\n

Decisive T2<\/sup> is ready to be founded in the intuition. Found it. <\/p>\n

Press on the elimination of illness undeterred by the resistance till it disappears for ever. <\/p>\n

These three things are now possible. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 10<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup> <\/p>\n

The equanimity is almost entire. <\/p>\n

Faith has greatly increased, but is not absolute. <\/p>\n

Strength is harmonised and in a way completed, but in a form that is still mediocre. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

The forms of the gnosis are in final preparation. The three things required yesterday are being done, but as yet there is nothing  <\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n1267<\/i> <\/p>\n

definite. The truth thought is however becoming easy and auto- matic. <\/p>\n

Let the T3<\/sup>
\ngrow swiftly. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

There is a commencement of the automatic external Ananda. Fix it. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 12<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

A still more perfect equanimity. <\/p>\n

Faith more settled, more complete, but still not absolute, await- ing knowledge. <\/p>\n

Strength confirmed, but vague and formless. <\/p>\n

Passivity complete <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

T3<\/sup>
\nhas<\/span> begun to be automatic; but is still imperfect. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

The three things demanded are still in a very initial stage. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 13<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup> <\/p>\n

After a brief attack briefly successful, passivity, equanimity, faith, strength are established stronger and completer than be- fore. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

Thought is almost perfected in the intuition and in the other forms so far as they can be supported on the narrow intuitive basis. <\/p>\n

T3<\/sup> is growing swiftly and moving towards a large development, T2<\/sup>
\nbegins<\/span> to develop a limited but automatic accuracy. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

Automatic external Ananda has begun to be fixed. Only mem- ory is necessary. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 14<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

Only mechanical movements contrary to passivity, equanimity and faith occur; usually they are thin and without substance. <\/p>\n

Strength is still not continuous except in the old lesser form.  <\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n1268<\/i><\/p>\n

There is still a lack of the guiding Power; except at times all seems to be done by the mechanism of the forces with only an intervention of the smaller physical godheads and voices. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

The supramental development and organisation of jagrat and swapna samadhi is trying to begin in earnest. <\/p>\n

All the thought instruments have been taken up into the move- ment. Lipi and identity knowledge are most developed. <\/p>\n

Automatic external ananda in its first fixity is beginning a preliminary organisation. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 15<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

Much obstruction today. <\/p>\n

Strength seems in the end to be more firmly founded <\/p>\n

\n\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

Internal physical Ananda is beginning to be founded. <\/p>\n

There are signs that drishya (with open eyes) is about to develop stability in the forms which till now were fugitive. It is increasing in the others. <\/p>\n

Samadhi organisation proceeds, but is still initial and ob- scure. <\/p>\n

Vishaya started last night, but does not as yet progress. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

Tonight. Completeness of third chatusthaya to be initially founded <\/p>\n

Fourth chatusthaya (half) to be thoroughly founded. <\/p>\n

The rest to be prepared in essence. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

Note\u2014<\/font>This last prediction or order does not seem to have been fulfilled even in part. The condition was clouded, ineffective and obscure. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 16<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

Progress has been mostly in the external physical Ananda. There was a recovery of gnostic thought and T3<\/sup>
\nwhich<\/span> had been almost suspended yesterday, but this came late in the afternoon.  <\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n1269<\/i> <\/p>\n

Strength seems to be founded, but the attack on faith and samata has been all day heavy and fierce. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

\nApril 17<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup> <\/p>\n

Samadhi. First
\ninitial<\/span> organisation of thought, trikaldrishti, lipi, event and drishya up to the sushupta swapna. <\/p>\n

Farther purification of thought, T3<\/sup>
\nand<\/span> control including Vani. <\/p>\n

Harmonisation of shakti with surrender and samata. Prepara- tion of a harmony of these things with gnostic knowledge. <\/p>\n

Vishaya. Persistent and stably visible vision of birds (small dark figures, jivanta, on the horizon[)]. For the first time liberty of this siddhi. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

\nApril 18<\/font>th<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

All the movements are being reduced to gnosis, first those that were intellectual. <\/p>\n

Remarkable movements of tapasic T3<\/sup>. <\/p>\n

Samadhi and Drishya continue to develop. <\/p>\n

The rest are maintained but not in progress. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

Passivity, surrender, faith, strength are constantly growing more perfect and harmonious with each other. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

The third chatusthaya must be and will be rapidly completed and perfected. <\/p>\n

The fourth must be finally undertaken before the end of the month. <\/p>\n

The fifth, sixth and seventh will progress with the progress of the third and fourth chatushtayas. <\/p>\n

\n≡≡<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 19th<\/sup> to 21st<\/sup>.<\/font> <\/p>\n

Three days strong obstruction. <\/p>\n

Perfect founding of sukham and hasyam along with calm and samata.  <\/p>\n

\n

\n


\n1270<\/i><\/p>\n

Firm founding of the virya and shakti along with the daivi prakriti and sraddha. <\/p>\n

These foundations seem now to be integral siddhis. Both are being tested but resist attack. Only the deha-shakti is seriously overcome at times, but this is due to the defect of utthapana and belongs less to the second than the fourth [chatusthaya].1<\/sup> <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nApril 22<\/font>d<\/font><\/sup><\/p>\n

First experience of entire gnostic intuition and supramental reason with supramental observation and a supramental recipient in the physical nature. <\/p>\n

\n\u2014<\/font><\/p>\n

Intuition and supramental reason (all the grades except supreme supermind) are being steadily founded in a first integral movement. <\/p>\n

Supreme supermind has also commenced its integral founda- tion. <\/p>\n

\n==<\/p>\n

All this in the thought chiefly. T3<\/sup>
\nhowever<\/span> has begun to be taken into the movement. <\/p>\n
