condition of its perfection it must be poised in a complete equality. The desire soul must get rid of the clamour; insistence or upequality of its desires in order that its desires may be satisfied with justice and balance and in the right way and eventually must rid them of the character of desire altogether and change them into impulsions of the divine Ananda. To that end it must make no demands nor seek to impose itself on heart, mind or spirit, but accept with a strong passive and active equality whatever impulsion and command come into it from the spirit through the channel of a still mind and å pure heart. And it must accept too whatever résult of the impulse, whatever enjoyment more or loss, full or nil, is given to it by the Master of our being. At the same time, possession and enjoyment are its law, function, use, swadharma It is not intended to be a slain or mortified thing, dull in its receptive power, dreary, suppressed, maimed, inert or null. It must have a full power of possession, a glad power' of enjoyment, an exultant power of pure and divine passion and rapture. The enjoyment it will have will be in the essence a spiritual bliss, but one which takes up into itself and transforms the mental, emotional, dynamic, vital and physical joy; it must have therefore an integral capacity for these things and must not by incapacity or fatigue or inability to bear great intensities fail the spirit, mind, heart, will and body. Fulness, clear purity and gladness, equality, capacity for possession and enjoyment are the fourfold perfection of the psychic prana.
Shri Aurobindo Ghosh.
