... Psychic poetry is the soliloquy of the poet's soul. The speaker, the subject, is the poet. But here the poet's personality is withdrawn. "I" is replaced by "Thou": "If Thou desirest."

"Thou" ...

You would find mostly the statement of the Vedantic experience, for it is that through which I passed and, though now I have passed to something beyond the most thorough-going and radical preparation for what- ever is beyond, though I do not say that it ...

In essence it exists in all spiritual disciplines that recognise the omnipresence of the Divine-- in Indian Vedantic experience and in Mahomedan Yoga (not only the Sufi, but other schools also)-- the Mahomedans even speak of not two or three but many levels of the Divine until one reaches the Supreme.

... Infinite. Sad Brahman, Existence pure, indefinable, infinite, absolute, is the last concept at which Vedantic analysis arrives in its view of the universe, the fundamental Reality which Vedantic experience discovers behind all the movement and formation which constitute the apparent reality. It is obvious that when we posit this conception, we go entirely beyond what our ordinary consciousness ...

Therefore there is no moha or ...

Page 10 January 1908 Sri Aurobindo was with Yogi Lele for three days in Baroda, and had an ineffable Advaitic-Vedantic experience which enabled him to see, "with a stupendous intensity the world as a cinematographic play of vacant forms in the impersonal universality of the Absolute Brahman." 18 During the next four months ...
... fail to come; the descent or incarnation is only an instrumentation for bringing that about. Your statement therefore became wrong by incompleteness. It is the Vedantic Adwaita experience of laya. It is only one phase of experience—not the whole or the highest Truth of the Divine.

The other side was developed by the Shakta Tantrics. The two together, the Vedantic and the Tantric truth unified, can arrive at the integral knowledge.

That is not a question of logic, it is a question of spiritual fact, of a supreme and complete experience. The solution of the matter must rest not upon logic, but upon a growing, ever heightening, widening spiritual experience—an experience which must of course include or have passed through that of Nirvana and Maya, otherwise it would not be complete and would have ...

The Vedantic seers renewed the Vedic truth by extricating it from its cryptic symbols and casting it into a highest and most direct and powerful language of intuition and inner experience. It was not the language of the intellect, but still it wore a form which the intellect could take hold of, translate... But this was after all less in reality than in appearance. The Buddhist ideal of Nirvana was no more than a sharply Page 207 negative and exclusive statement of the highest Vedantic spiritual experience.
