object:4.2.1.05 - The Psychic Awakening
book class:Letters On Yoga III
author class:Sri Aurobindo
class:chapter
The psychic being is always there, but is not felt because it is covered up by the mind and vital; when it is no longer covered up, it is then said to be awake. When it is awake, it begins to take hold of the rest of the being, to influence it and change it so that all may become the true expression of the inner soul. It is this change that is called the inner conversion. There can be no conversion without the awakening of the psychic being.
*
The experiences that are coming cannot be permanent at the beginning; they come and go and do their work and afterwards there is a permanent result. What must be permanent is the psychic awakening, the psychic condition and attitude and what you have written in your letter is an exact description of this psychic condition and psychic attitude. One has to keep this and see what happens and the Mother's Force will do the rest.
*
Let the sweetness and the happy feeling increase, for they are the strongest sign of the soul, the psychic being awake and in touch with us. Let not mistakes of thought or speech or action disturb you - put them away from you as something superficial which the Power and Light will deal with and remove. Keep to the one central thing - your soul and these higher realities it brings with it.
*
That is good - the awakening of the psychic consciousness and its control over the rest is one of the most indispensable elements of the sadhana.
