Chapter 15Aspiration · The Meaning of Aspiration

Book 2. Part One: The Path of the Integral Yoga · Section Two: Basic Requisites of the Path

There is no deep meaning [of aspiration] — the meaning is plain. It is the call of the being for higher things — for the Divine, for all that belongs to the higher or Divine Consciousness.

* It [aspiration] is the call in the being for the Divine or for the higher things that belong to the Divine Consciousness. (To “aspire” always means to call for higher things.)

* call, yearning, prayer for the Divine, for the Truth, for the Consciousness, Peace, Ananda, Knowledge, descent of Divine Force or whatever else is the aim of one’s endeavour.

* there is a natural state of quiet receptivity concentrated but spontaneous.

* conscious force on Nature.
