Ascension of the Heart

Man is a transitional being; he is not final. The step beyond man is the next approaching achievement in the earth’s evolution. It is inevitable because it is at once the intention of the inner Spirit and the logic of Nature’s process.

–Sri Aurobindo

At times I feel as if I am spread out over the land-scape and inside things, and am myself living in every tree, in the splashing of the waves, in the clouds and the animals that come and go, in the procession of the seasons. There is nothing with which I am not linked. Here everything has its history, and mine; here is space for the spaceless kingdom of the world’s and the psyche’s hinterland. —Carl Jung

This perfection, this oneness of substance and consciousness and being, is like the world’s golden memory, the blurred image that each one and each thing strives to conjure up and capture, the goad of the world’s great Thirst, the driving force of its gigantic Need to be and embrace and grow. It is like a tena-cious memory thrusting things and beings and even galaxies into a mortal embrace that would like to be an embrace of love, that would like to understand all, hold and encompass all within its circumference.

—Satprem
