love and adoration grow, the psychic being comes forward. By
the reference to the Power above we can come to feel it above
and its descent and the opening to an increasing conscious-
ness and knowledge. Finally works, bhakti and knowledge join
together and selfperfection becomes possible — what we call
the transformation
of the nature.
These results certainly do not come all at once; they come
more or less slowly, more or less completely according to the
condition and growth of the being. There is no royal road to the
divine realisation.
CWSA 29: 216-18

Self-dedication
Self-dedication does not depend on the particular work you
do, but on the spirit in which all work, of whatever kind it may
be, is done. Any work, done well and carefully as a sacrifice to
the Divine, without desire or egoism, with equality of mind
and calm tranquillity in good or bad fortune, for the sake of the
Divine and not for the sake of any personal gain, reward or
result, with the consciousness that it is the Divine Power to
which all work belongs, is a means of self-dedication through
Karma.
CWSA 29: 246-47 Sri Aurobindo

means to see what is true and bring it into existence; and to
choose thus, without the least personal bias for any thing, any
person, action, circumstance, is exactly what is most difficult
