I have not said that to reach the overmind is impossible; I have only said that it is difficult. Difficulty is not a reason why things should not be done.
It is not easy for a physical being to reach the highest truth because its consciousness is something ignorant that has emerged out of the material inconscience and is very much tied to and hampered by the obscurity of its origin—in addition to the mental and vital difficulty of ego and desire. Yoga itself is not easy; if it were so, it would be multitude and not only a few that would be practising it.
Sri Aurobindo
