only wisdom. But this world is Brahman, the world is God, the
world is Satyam, the world is Ananda; it is our misreading of the
world through mental egoism that is a falsehood and our wrong
relation with God in the world that is a misery. There is no other
falsity and no other cause of sorrow.

An ascent to the Divine Perfection
By Yoga we can rise out of falsehood into truth, out of weak-
ness into force, out of pain and grief into bliss, out of bondage
into freedom, out of death into immortality, out of darkness into
light, out of confusion into purity, out of imperfection into perfec-
tion, out of self-division into unity, out of Maya into God. All other
utilisation of Yoga is for special and fragmentary advantages not
always worth pursuing. Only that which aims at possessing the
fullness of God is purna Yoga; the sadhaka of the Divine Perfection
is the purna Yogin.
Our aim must be to be perfect as God in His being and bliss is
perfect, pure as He is pure, blissful as He is blissful, and, when we
are ourselves siddha in the purna Yoga, to bring all mankind to the
same divine perfection. It does not matter if for the present we fall
short of our aim, so long as we give ourselves whole-heartedly to
the attempt and by living constantly in it and for it move forward
even two inches upon the road; even that will help to lead human-
ity out of the struggle and twilight in which it now dwells into the
luminous joy which God intends for us.

Replace duality with Unity
In brief, we have to replace dualities by unity, egoism by divine
consciousness, ignorance by divine wisdom, thought by divine
knowledge, weakness, struggle & eff ort by self-contented divine
force, pain & false pleasure by divine bliss.
