Inexhaustible Spiritual Energy
However, there is a source of energy which, once discovered,
is never exhausted, whatever the outer circumstances and physi-
cal conditions of life may be. It is the energy that can be described
as spiritual, and is received no longer from below, from the incon-
scient depths, but from above, from the supreme origin of the uni-
verse and man, from the all-powerful and eternal splendours of the
superconscient. It is there, all around us, permeating everything;
and to enter into contact with it and to receive it, it is enough
to aspire sincerely for it, to open oneself to it in faith and trust,
to widen one’s consciousness and identify it with the universal
Consciousness.
At the outset, this may seem very difficult, if not impossible.
Yet by examining this phenomenon more closely, one can see that
it is not so alien, not so remote from the normally developed hu-
man consciousness. Indeed, there are very few people who have
not felt, at least once in their lives, as if lifted up beyond them-
selves, filled with an unexpected and uncommon force which, for a
time, has made them capable of doing anything whatever; at such
moments nothing seems too difficult and the word ‘impossible’
loses its meaning.
This experience, however fleeting it may be, gives a glimpse
of the kind of contact with the higher energy that yogic discipline
can secure and maintain.
The method of achieving this contact can hardly be given
here. Besides, it is something individual and unique for each one,
which starts from where he stands, adapting itself to his personal
needs and helping him to take one more step forward. The path is
sometimes long and slow, but the result is worth the trouble one
takes. We can easily imagine the consequences of this power to
draw at will and in all circumstances on the boundless source of
an energy that is all-powerful in its luminous purity. Weariness, ex-
haustion, illness, old age and even death become mere obstacles
