\nT<\/font><\/span>he lords of
\nFalsehood hold, at present, almost complete sway over poor humanity. Not only the
\nlower life-energy, the lower vital being, but also the whole mind of man
\naccepts them. Countless are the ways in which they are worshipped, for they are
\nmost subtle in their cunning and seek their ends in variously seductive
\ndisguises. The result is that men cling to their falsehood as if it were a
\ntreasure, cherishing it more than even the most beautiful things of life.
\nApprehensive of its safety, they take care to bury it deep down in themselves;
\nbut unless they take it out and surrender it to the Divine they will never find
\ntrue happiness. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed the very act of bringing it out and showing it to the Light
\nwould be in itself a momentous conversion and pave the way to the final
\nvictory. For the laying bare of each falsehood is in itself a victory \u2013 each
\nacknowledgment of error is the demolition of one of the lords of Darkness. It
\nmay be an acknowledgment to oneself, provided it is absolutely honest and is no
\nsubtle regret apt to be forgotten the next moment and without the strength to
\nmake an unbreakable resolution not to repeat the mistake. Or it may be the
\nacknowledgment to the Divine embodied in the Guru. As a result of direct
\npersonal confession to the Guru, your resolution remains no longer your own,
\nbecause, if you are sincere, the Divine’s fiat goes forth in your favour. To
\ngive you an idea of what this means I shall relate an experience of mine when I
\nfirst met Sri Aurobindo in <\/span>Pondicherry<\/span>. I was in deep concentration, seeing things in the Supermind,
\nthings that were to be but which were somehow not manifesting. I told Sri
\nAurobindo what I had seen and asked him if they would manifest. He simply said,
\n\u201cYes.\u201d And immediately I saw that the Supramental had touched the earth and was
\nbeginning to be realised! This was the first time I had witnessed the power to
\nmake real what is true: it is the very same <\/span>

power that
\nwill bring about the realisation in you of the truth when you come in all
\nsincerity, saying, \u201cThis falsehood I want to get rid of\u201d, and the answer which
\nyou get is \u201cYes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
