... full realisation of the psychic, there is but one way—concentration in the deepest depths of the being, a plunge into the fathomless cave of the heart. And it is also to be noted that the total psychic realisation is indispensable for a dynamic union with the Divine and the transformation of nature.... "The central being lies in the heart and from the heart proceed all central movements—all dynamism and... decisive, unforgettable and indubitable. It changes the orientation of the being and gives it a new vision, a new outlook, and a new aim to pursue in life. ” In no yoga the complete psychic realisation is so much insisted upon as in the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother; for, the secret of divine fulfilment lies in the psychic, and also the key to the transformation of nature. It... realised in the other yogas does not necessarily lead to the discovery of the mission of the psychic or the transformation of the physical nature. One usually stops short at one phase of the psychic realisation, the phase of passive peace and silence, as do Sankhya and Jainism; or, one may proceed through it, by a deepening and widening of the consciousness of peace and silence, to the realisation of ...
... keeps its separation. It is the individual self that merges entirely like a drop of water in the sea. If the psychic unites itself, it cannot be separated; separation is non-union. The psychic realisation is one of diversity in unity (the portion and the whole); it is not one of dissolving like a drop of water in the sea - for then no love or devotion is possible unless it is love of oneself,... Even when I make good progress, it seems to be limited to the development of the Self above. I thought that the spiritual realisation would help the psychic development, just as the psychic realisation helps the development of the Self. It does not necessarily happen like that. There are people who develop the psychic for a long time before the higher consciousness begins to come down ...
... NIRODBARAN: Yesterday, did you mean, that by the psychic realisation one can't get rid of ego? I couldn't understand it. SRI AUROBINDO: One can get rid of egoism but not of ego, For the psychic depends on the individual nature for its action. The lower nature has its hold on the individual and the psychic works through the individual. The psychic realisation is the realisation of the individual soul which ...

... unstirring calm of eternity possess us in their ineffable sweetness. A veil has been lifted, a long-cherished illusion has been dispelled for ever. Another simultaneous experience, unless the psychic realisation be partial and incomplete, is that the flood- gates of our love and devotion for the Divine are flung wide open, and we feel an exclusive and ecstatic tension' towards Him. The tension, the... quivering moments, and a radiant unity, unwounded by division, cradle and sustain our soul in that transporting bliss of self-realisation. These three experiences together constitute the psychic realisation in its essence; but in the case of each individual, it has usually a colour and a rhythm characteristic of his individuality and the peculiar nature of his aspiration. But it is quite possible ...
... ut what Brunton describes in his book as the Self is certainly this Purusha Antarātmā but concerned more with mukti and a liberated action than with transformation of the nature.

... not saints. Of course one can be both spiritual and saintly. NIRODBARAN: You make a distinction between saints and spiritual men? SRI AUROBINDO: Certainly. Saints are limited by their psychic realisation. The spiritual men remain above in the higher spiritual consciousness. The saints are Bhaktas. SATYENDRA: It is not very clear to me, Sir. SRI AUROBINDO: Well, the psychic being means the ...
... have a very clear and beautiful vision of what the supermind is, only a vision, not a realisation. That is the great way out. But even without going so far as this beautiful realisation, the psychic realisation, if you succeed in liberating some part of your mind or your vital, that makes a kind of hole in the door, a keyhole; through this keyhole you have a glimpse, just a little glimpse. And that ...

His whole dynamic Yoga was shaped and guided by this one living motif, this pure psychic realisation. Why, then, did he not preach the name of Kali, the beloved Shyama of his Bengali poems, instead of letting Her be sick-lied over with the appellation of Maya? Why did he not raise a temple of ...
... fire in the heart. Till the evening it continued along with the experiences felt above the head. It is obviously the psychic. When I had asked you, "Cannot the psychic-realisation and self-realisation go on simultaneously ?", your reply was that such an action would be rare. Is it really such a difficult process? I meant that usually one comes first and the ...

... and security men forget their little ego and self interest momentarily, come closer and work for the larger interest. The other way is, when men transcend themselves, have at least the psychic realisation and their consciousness is tuned with a Higher Truth, they rise above ego and desire, and true unity in collectivity takes place.
