Chapter 41Transformation and the Parts of the Being

TRANSFORMATION

AND THE PARTS OF THE BEING

Doesn’t transformation demand a very high degree of aspiration, surrender and receptivity?

Transformation demands a total and integral consecration. But isn’t this the aspiration of all sincere sadhaks?

Total means vertically in all the states of being, from the most material to the most subtle.

Integral means horizontally in all the different and often contradictory parts which constitute the outer being, physical, vital and mental.

* The being organised around the psychic: the first stage of transformation.

* Mental opening: the first step of the mind towards transformation.

* Mental prayer: spontaneous in a mind aspiring for transformation.

* Thirst to understand: very useful for transformation.

* Honesty in the physical mind: preliminary indispensable condition for transformation.

* Integral offering of the vital: an important stage towards transformation.

* Renunciation of emotional desires: indispensable for transformation.

* Not only the mind and the vital, but the body also in all its cells must aspire for the divine transformation.

* Physical plasticity: one of the important conditions of the transformation.

* Let the physical offer itself sincerely to the Divine and it will be transformed. This is proof of the resolution to liberate oneself from the ego.

* Humility before the Divine in the physical nature: first attitude needed for transformation.

* Psychic light in the physical movements: the first step towards the transformation of the physical.

* Psychic light in the material movements: essential condition for transformation.

* Psychic awakening in matter: matter open to spiritual life.
