quer, a work such as I am certain none else had to do before
us. For the Leader of the Way in a work like ours has not only
to bring down and represent and embody the Divine, but to
represent too the ascending element in humanity and to bear
the burden of humanity to the full and experience not in a mere
play or lila but in grim earnest all the obstruction, difficulty, op-
position, baffled and hampered and only slowly victorious la-
bour which are possible on the Path. But it is not necessary nor
tolerable that all that should be repeated over again to the full
in the experience of others. It is because we have the complete
experience that we can show a straighter and easier road to
others — if they will only consent to take it. It is because of our
experience won at a tremendous price that we can urge upon
you and others, "Take the psychic attitude; follow the straight
sunlit path, with the Divine openly or secretly upbearing you —
if secretly, he will yet show himself in good time, — do not insist
on the hard, hampered, roundabout and difficult journey."
CWSA 32: 194-95 Sri Aurobindo

There is no joy more perfect than to give oneself
totally to that which is greater than oneself. God,
Supreme Origin, Divine Presence, Absolute Truth —

it doesn't matter what name we give Him or what
aspect we most easily approach Him through — to
forget oneself totally in an integral consecration is
the surest path towards Realisation.
CWM 14: 102 The Mother
