Transformation implies a complete and radical change of the human into the Divine.
This change implies the following main steps and stages. First the genuine call for this yoga, meaning thereby an aspiration and a faith in Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and their teachings. It implies a sincere will to go through the yoga right upto the end. The process is turning the consciousness towards the Divine thrpugh aspiration, consecration of all we are and do to the Divine Mother through the practice of ‘Remember and Offer’ and all our actions in a spirit of service to Her. The first thing to be established is Peace and Equanimity and the first milestone is discovery of the soul or the psychic being within.
Then the pressure of the aspiration and the Mother’s Grace purifies the nature, liberates the consciousness, and opens the doors to the higher spiritual consciousness above the mind as well as widens it into the cosmic consciousness. The result is a series of experiences and the opening of faculties of inspiration, revelation, intuition.
Finally there is the action of the Divine Supramental Force that begins to modify the human personality and our present natural instruments, that is to say, the mind, heart, life and body transmuting them slowly into flawless and perfect channels and vessels of the Divine Force and Peace and Light and Love and Bliss.
As a result of this, the body itself begins to yield its rigidity and begins to be remoulded slowly into a divine body. This last step is however a collective process meant to eventually build a new species, a divine superhuman race just as man evolved out of the Ape. It is still in the making but the indicators are already on the way.
Affectionately,
