If one has a natural conscious psychic capacity to open to God totally, unconditionally, sincerely, then there is no fall for him. Difficulties there may come, confusions there may occur, stumblings and covering up by forces of ignorance may happen but he will go on without a fall.

He will come to know accurately what is to be taken up and what is to be thrown out—he will get the right knowledge and right guidance. Very few have got such utter sincerity and the natural psychic capacity to open themselves up to God.

One must be severe with oneself—must be able to reject at all times all kinds of lower movements wherever they are detected with a strong will—must not allow oneself to be lax and loose and enjoy oneself in these movements. All good, bad, indifferent, everything must be given up and surrendered to the Supreme. Unconditional surrender is required for the continued onward march and progress from light to light.

If one is simply blind to his aim, content with any kind of experience and taking delight and enjoyment in it, he easily opens himself very often into some part of the vital world. The vital world mostly (that is nine-tenth) is full of delusions and falsities and images. Anyone by his imagination may create anything for himself, bring about an image or experience of any kind. They have nothing to do with the higher Truth. There is some truth of course in the vital world which is behind all these. The forces in the vital world are only too ready to take their earliest chance and make use of the person at any time. The mental opening on the other hand is a better one than the vital. It is nearer the Truth—there are less delusions and falsities in it than in the vital. And when one has this opening there is a chance of his opening to the higher Truth. Psychic opening beyond and above the mental opening is the real opening—here there is no danger, one gets the proper knowledge and can go on with more spontaneity.

People who are not called to this Yoga, who have not taken the proper personal guidance from me and on whom Yoga is simply forced, in other words want to do some Yoga forcing it on themselves—very often and easily open themselves to these vital worlds. When a number of people sit together and meditate and earnestly want to get something there will always be some opening. The worlds they open themselves to without being conscious to what they have opened themselves to is of no small importance to know.

One ought to know and become conscious to what he has opened himself to.

Also these people who have forced the Yoga on themselves and who easily get into some communication and opening into the vital world have no strong minds. The mind is not grown up or strong in them. Otherwise they could get beyond this vital opening and recognise and become conscious of their opening and the many delusions and falsities in it.

When one gets the real thing always he feels it, knows it and becomes conscious of it, and where he puts it or applies it, is always successful.

This natural psychic opening of the soul establishes something increasingly which always stands and is not broken by obstacles, confusions or covering.

A quietude of the mind is necessary. This does not mean silence. It is necessary to have a quietude and calmness in the mind, a giving up of himself to the Supreme and a calm, quiet and peaceful watching of all the movements that take place. There should be a deep aspiration for the descent and establishing of calm and peace in the being. There should also be an aspiration for the entire purification and Suddhi of the being. When the calmness is established then the light and knowledge will descend into the being.

The motor-car is a devil incarnate; as long as there are motor-cars there will be accidents. There is something in the very speed of the car that invites all possible forces and movements and brings about all the accidents etc.

Three-fourths of the actions of human beings are done from this physico-vital world. In the vital world at least there is some power, some widening. In the physico-vital it is petty narrow and small; some imps who when they get the chance of using some person as their medium begin to use them.

A movement from the physico-vital, a fancy which the person is not conscious of and is unable to arrange or organise.

All the charlatanism the humbugging hoaxes are from this world. Charlie Chaplin, the buffoons, clowns and newspaper-wits, all these are acted upon from this world.

There is very little difference between cats and human beings, it is a difference in details.
