This Usually happens after a long period of evolution through a number of lives, eventually through a mounting aspiration assisted by meditation, bhakti, service, sincerity and faith, finally as an act of Grace.
Sri Aurobindo reveals in Savitri.
T’he great are strongest when they stand alone.
A God-given might of being is their force,
A ray from self’s solitude of light the guide;
The soul that can live alone with itself meets God;
Its lonely universe is their rendezvous.’
He further assures
‘Whatever the appearance we must bear,
Whatever our strong ills and present fate,
When nothing we can see but drift and bale,
A mighty Guidance leads us still through all.
After we have served this great divided world
God’s bliss and oneness are our inborn right.
A date is fixed in the calendar of the Unknown,
An anniversary of the Birth sublime:
Our soul shall justify its chequered walk,
All will come near that now is naught or far.’
Affectionately,
Alok Da
