“It is certainly a mistake to bring down the light by force—to pull it down. The Supramental cannot be taken by storm. When the time is ready it will open of itself—but first there is a great deal to be done and that must be done patiently and without haste.” Sri Aurobindo.

Unless there is a contact with the true Light, there cannot be safety in this matter. One must have the true experience. To pull is always an egoistic movement. It is a deformation of aspiration. True aspiration consists in a giving, a self-giving, whereas to pull means to want for oneself. Even if in the mind you have a vaster ambition—the earth, the universe—that means nothing, these are mental activities. There are the different strata of humanity in relation to the supramental creation. But the effort for transformation, reduced to a small number, becomes a thing much more precious and much more powerful for the realisation. Those who have superior intelligence, a refined sense of things, they have a tendency of ridiculing others. This itself is a lack of culture, of refinement. On the other hand, each thing expressing its kind quite naturally, that vision has great soothing power; it is so sweet, so wonderful.
