Chapter 11Knowledge by inspiration

Yes, but for this knowledge to have a real power of transformation...

Yes, it is the higher Knowledge, the Truth expressing itself, what Sri Aurobindo calls the true Knowledge, and it is this Knowledge that transforms all creation. But it is as if He were pouring it down all the time and you have to make great haste so as not to be too late!

But haven’t you ever had the feeling of a dazzling light in your head? And then it is translated by, “Oh, but of course!” Sometimes it is something you knew intellectually, but it was dull, lifeless, and it suddenly comes like a tremendous power that arranges everything within the consciousness around that Light. It does not last very long. Sometimes it lasts only a few hours, sometimes a few days, but never more than that, unless you are very slow in your movement. And in the meanwhile the source of the truth is moving, moving, moving....

These are all psychological transformations, but where Matter and the body are concerned, what kind of knowledge is needed?

For the moment, I can’t say anything about that, my child, because I do not know.

Is it another kind of knowledge?

No, I do not think so.

(Silence)

It may be another kind of action, but it is not another kind of knowledge.
