Chapter 121Mind: Only an Instrument
Book 7. Part Seven: Parts of the Being
The Mind Mind: its true worth depends on its surrender to the Divine.
* Purified mind: mind ready to surrender to the Divine.
* Mental surrender: this happens when the mind has understood that it is only an instrument.
* Conversion of the mind: the mind has liberated itself from its arrogance and knows it is only an instrument.
* Clear mind: the first step on the road to conversion.
* Birth of true mental sincerity: with its birth the mind will understand that it is only a means and not an end in itself.
* The mind must learn to express only what is dictated by the Divine.
* Power of mental expression has no value unless it is in the service of the Divine.
* Reason: an excellent instrument when at the Divine’s service.
* Physical mind becomes a good instrument of action when it is content to be that alone.
* When the mind turns towards the Divine, it becomes a powerful instrument.
* Work of the enlightened mind: it is very powerful for leading the being to the Divine and can be very useful for progress.
* Higher mind: its superiority consists in its capacity to open to the divine light.
* Voice of the higher mind: in quest of Truth.
* The mind attains its full utility when it knows how to listen to the higher inspiration.
* Aspiration of the mind for the supramental guidance: the mind feels that its complexity is powerless and asks for a greater light to illumine it.
* Response of the mind to the supramental light: represents an important step towards realisation.
