It takes more or less time, but you will surely succeed in the
end. Once you have turned to the Divine, saying, “I want to be
yours”, and the Divine has said, “Yes”, the whole world cannot
keep you from it. When the central being has made its surren-

yours”, then it is as though a bridge has been built and little by
little the crust becomes thinner and thinner until the two parts
are wholly joined and the inner and the outer become one.

One does not know it, one feels it. And in order to feel it one
must will with such an intensity, such sincerity, that every ob-

movements of your consciousness and eliminate those which
cannot be changed until all becomes a perfect and permanent
expression of the Truth.

like a constant fire, and every time you have a desire, a prefer-
ence, an attraction it must be thrown into this fire. If you do this
persistently, you will see that a little gleam of true consciousness
begins to dawn in your ordinary consciousness. At first it will be
faint, very far behind all the din of desires, preferences, attrac-
tions, likings. But you must go behind all this and find that true
