My Pilgrimage to the Spirit

March 4, 1932

I have repeatedly said recently that we are trying against great difficulties to bring down the Supramental into the physical plane. If the Supramental were already there, the body divinized, matter transformed, there would be no difficulty and no need of the endeavour.

I would recall to you what I said in my letter to D. that it was not the direct Supramental Force which was working uptill now but a preparatory force that carried in it a modified light derived from the Supramental. The direct Force can begin working only when the mind, vital and physical are sufficiently ready.
