The inspiration developed on the connection of Tamil with O.S. [Old Sanskrit] pointing out lost significations, old roots, otherwise undiscoverable derivations. 3. The supreme inspiration yet inoperative. Thought. Quiet and no longer subject to obstruction, but not yet perfectly satisfying, liable to be displaced; working often with the perception only, defective in driving force, therefore imperfectly convincing. Sight. In Samadhi, the lingas of the bodies, all except jyotik and varnaghana. The jagrat mainly inoperative, except the momentary manifestation of a pranamaya purusha, angushthamatra, from the sukshma; fulfilling the prophecy for the day.
Prophecy As above. The mind deals with the past by means of perception, not revelation. Necessarily no proof. Doubt Only in anna and with regard to particulars in their details. The Body Visrishti unusually copious in both kinds. Weak- ness in annam and rapid fatigue Asus Working absolutely in the body, with more force than formerly in the buddhi and prana. Sattwic krodh in the chitta man- ifests free from the rajasic taint of an unsatisfied prana. Prema. Bhogasamarthyam increasing, but insufficient. Aishwaryam etc. The Will began to act directly from the sahasradal with swift and invariable, though not instantaneous effect. The imperative vyaptis still resisted A general deficiency of force experienced. The old humanity very strong in the annam and through the annam obstructive but not dominant in the whole system [3] [Sanskrit Formulas Second Chatushtaya] vFy

Ordinarily it will be at- tracted to one of these three objects of desire. It flies past without noticing them, reaches the wall in a straight flight, then contrary to all expectation turns suddenly back, turns aside while flying over the right-hand flowertree to dally for two seconds with another butterfly, then flies off through the pepegach. What dictated its return and departure? First; it did not notice the flowertree because its mind was fixed on some more distant object present to its instinctive memory, but
by a law of the mind it received subconsciously the impression of the scent from the flowers. By the time it reached the wall this came up to the supraliminal mind as a vague but powerful sense of something missed and attractive on the way. Working through the vital instincts & cravings by vital impulse which dominantly deter- mines the movements of the insect, this sense immediately enforced a backward flight. If the other butterfly had not intervened, it is possible that at the second contact with the scent of the flowers, the vague sense would have identified itself, consciously or subcon- sciously, with a definite supraliminal expression & the descent on the flowers would have been determined, but the diversion once made, the vagueness not only remained, but the impression was half obliterated and only the idea of return to something in the distance remained. This, however, was strong enough to divert the insect from its fellow, especially as the latter was concerned with the flowers and did not respond to the advances made. Hence the farther pursuit of the flight backward.
