not perturbed by the play of the forces. When it gets its full
liberated movement, its central station is very usually felt above the head, though its influence can extend downward
through all the being and outward through space.SPIRITUAL MIND
The spiritual mind is a mind which, in its fullness, is aware of the Self, reflecting
the Divine, seeing and understanding the nature of the Self and its relations with the manifestation, living in
that or in contact with it, calm, wide and awake to higher knowledge, not perturbed by the play of the forces. When it gets its full
liberated movement, its central station is very usually felt above the head, though its influence can extend downward
through all the being and outward through space.
The ordinary mind is at its highest the free intelligence, receiving perhaps intuitions and intimations from above which it intellectualises. It is on the surface and sees things from outside except in so far as it is helped by intuition and other powers to see a little deeper. When this ordinary mind opens within to inner mind and psychic and above to higher mind and higher consciousness generally, then it begins to be spiritualised and its highest ranges merge into the spiritual mind-consciousness of which this higher mind can be a beginning. This merging is part of the spiritual transformation.
The sage and seer live in the spiritual mind, their thought or their vision is governed and moulded by an inner or a greater divine light of knowledge; the devotee lives in the spiritual aspiration of the heart, its self-offering and its seeking; the saint is moved by the awakened psychic being in the inner heart grown powerful to govern the emotional and vital being; the others stand in the vital kinetic nature driven by a higher spiritual energy and turned by it towards an inspired action, a God given work or mission, the service of some divine Power, idea or ideal.
An indispensable step... is the opening up of the inner being and its centres of action; for then the task that the surface mind could not achieve begins to be more possible.
Once the inner being once thoroughly establishes its separateness, even oceans of inertia cannot prevent it from keeping it. It is the first thing to be done in order to have a secure basis in the yoga, to establish thoroughly this separateness. It comes most usually when the peace is thoroughly fixed in the inner parts, then the separateness also becomes fixed and permanent.
All here was known by a spiritual sense.
Thought was not there but a knowledge near and one
Seized on all things by a moved identity,
A sympathy of self with other selves.
