From Ego to Self-Giving
But what is this ego of which you speak? Everybody has the
ego and it is impossible to get rid of it altogether except by two
things — the opening of the psychic within and the descent

of the psychic you know your own true being which is a portion
of the Mother. This is what has to happen, but it cannot happen
in so short a time. Do not be always thinking of the vital move-

are, it is enough. Concentrate rather in the heart on the open-
ing there; concentrate persistently and aspire persistently and
do not mind if it takes time. Call in any way, even if you cannot
call yet deeply — then the deeper call will come.

higher movements. If one rejects centrally and with all sincerity
