Chapter 21Aspiration · Aspiration and Pulling
Book 2. Part One: The Path of the Integral Yoga · Section Two: Basic Requisites of the Path
Pulling comes usually from a desire to get things for oneself — in aspiration there is a self-giving for the higher consciousness to descend and take possession — the more intense the call, the greater the self-giving.
* 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.
