<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>IT IS <i>Integration. </i>I am
using a much used, much abused word but it happens to be <i>the </i>word. We
have reached a status of consciousness within as distinct units, individual or
collective: our effort should now be to co-ordinate, to harmonise the different
and differing units or separate elements into a well-knit single whole. That
means, the ego-centres that are still left and active are to be exorcised,
purified – the separative knot has to be dissolved and the true centre of unity
to be found – the psychic divine centre.</p>

none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>First each element in the
individual, each level of his being must find its centre, its soul or psychic
base – and then only a co-ordination of all would be possible. Next through the
psychic level the general level of the being and consciousness, that is to say,
its expression and its field of action should be lifted and raised to a higher
potency of poise – the higher the better – towards the higher mind, towards
the overmental – and beyond.</p>

none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; line-height:150%; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>The Divine Presence in the
heart – the central psychic – should not only be felt constantly there in the
heart but in all other parts or levels of the being: it must create or awake
its figure or norm everywhere so that it can inspire and control directly all
activities and movements in a global and total gesture. It has to be an
integral dynamic Presence, that is the way of uplifting the poise of the <i>adhara,
</i>its global existence. The process is first to deepen the Presence, that is
from the surface to dive into the inner realm and then float up again into a
wider and higher expanse, deeper and deeper means truer and </p>

up the ladders of the physical, the vital, the mental consciousness and towards

the central psychic being comes forward and exercises what is at most a
general influence on the other limbs of the being. It should enter into its
counter-parts or counter-points – the inherent psychic centres of each part and
parcel and make them directly active. The central psychic – self – has its
delegated selves everywhere in the global being. Indeed each particle of the
being must itself be a psychic or psychicised particle: a consciousness-photon.
There is thus a vital photon, a mental photon, a photon of the physical consciousness
even as the material photon. And all these in their hierarchic harmonious
arrangement shall constitute the global system of the new person.</p>

transmutation of the environment also: the outer objects and circumstances and
happenings will be a field – an Einsteinian field – of modulations, pulsations,
tensions, of these consciousness-particles of the psychic.</p>

is a natural consequence of the psychic's aspiration. The psychic has the power
to call down the rain of higher existence, a wider law of being-higher means,
as I have said, higher than the highest mental yet achieved by man normally and
generally-stepping by the intermediary gradations towards the Supermind.</p>

inherent activity of the inferior or subordinate nature in its aspiration to
move upward and transform itself. This activity in us all, it must be noted, is
supported, initiated and inspired by the self-action of the higher nature, the
descent of the above-mental regions.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

distinctive higher status is that of the Overmind. Its character is a global
and entire being and consciousness, a cosmic and universal all-inclusive existence.
Each being attains its self and each self lives <i>in </i>every other self and
all selves together and at the same time live <i>in </i>each self. The
diversities are not abolished – as <i>in </i>the unitary consciousness and

style='mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp;</span>I am now speaking here of <i>samrajya-siddhi, </i>the
realisation of the world-empire, the spiritual or Divine Empire. First of
course there is, as the basis of the <i>samrajya, </i>the <i>svarajya, </i>the
kingdom or reign of the individual's own self. In effect, the world-empire or
the imperial <i>reign </i>of the Spirit has three gradations. At the outset
each element, that <i>is, </i>each individual human being (we limit ourselves
to the human collectivity at present) has to attain <i>svarajya, </i>self-rule,
a perfectly homogeneous integral spiritual whole in himself: then all such
individuals should achieve integrality with one another. Each lives in and
through every other and all together live in everyone. The whole forms an
indissoluble integral and <i>unitary </i>life. This collective integration
means all individuals have one mind, one vital being, even one physical
consciousness, not of course one material body but still a feeling of the'
kind. One mind or one vital or one physical consciousness does not mean
everyone has the same identical formations and movements in these respective
regions, but all possess substantially the same stuff belonging to a self-same
unit. A comparison or analogy may explain and illustrate the point. For
example, the different parts of a human body form one integrated texture: they
are all bound up, united although not fused together, in an inextricable,
&quot;inexorable&quot; unity. Action in one part creates a reaction, re-echoes
or re-doubles in every other part: they all rise up like one man as it is
popularly said, at a single touch. Different in form, different in function,
they are identical in their substantial composition, in their fundamental
stuff-the organic plasma; even so, the minds of all, their vital movements,
their physical movements too, however different and diverse, contrary or </p>

integration in the Divine world-empire comes when not only individuals but
groups and collectivities find and establish their own selves – each its <i>svarajya,

unified they act in a unified and homogeneous living as individuals do in the
world aggregate. Although the individual is the basic reality, aggregations and
collectivities also are realities, even spiritual realities in the progressive
unfoldment of the cosmic spirit.</p>

complex in composition, so global in scope would be possible only when the above-mental
or the overmental world-consciousness descends into the mental and lower
hemisphere and takes possession of it and becomes active and dynamic there. The
movement upward, the evolutionary force in nature inclusive of the human
aspiration is the spearhead to break through the solid frontier wall of
ignorance and inferior consciousness; the luminous point that breaks through
is, as I have said, the soul-power, the psychic. That creates the rift in the
dense covering through which can pour down the rains and streams of the
universal consciousness with its purificatory ablution of the lower nature and
conciousness. But this again becomes not only possible but inevitable when this
new consciousness contacts openly and directly its master and overlord, the
supreme Supramental Consciousness, which is the true reality pressing down
always upon the lower creation, rejecting whatever has to be thrown out,
sifting and screening the mixture, sublimating, subsuming all that has to be
retained within itself.</p>

is of Course the last and ultimate or other wise the first and original
Support and inspiration of all other levels of being and living. Apart from
this fundamental, this one source of sustenance, each intermediary level depends
directly and leans upon the one that lies just above it, over arches it as it
were. Thus speaking of the major intermediaries, the Overmind is under the
direct control and guidance of the over-arching Supermind. And Overmind itself
over-arches, broods over the mind and from behind guides and controls it. The
Mind has evolved primarily because of the pressure of the Overmind standing
immediately above it in the hierarchy of the grades of existence. And because
of this constant ruling presence of the Overmind, the mind in man is a
progressive entity unveiling powers lent or delegated to it, sent down into it
from the Overmind. The animal, on the contrary, is not a progressive being like
man, for the Overmind does not reach it. The animal is not in contact with the
Overmind. It is in contact, a somewhat precarious contact, with the Mind.
Something of the Mental has made an inroad into him, into his vital texture. It
is to be noted that the mind in the animal is of a different kind from the
human mind: it is only in the domesticated animals, the animals living in the
neighbourhood of man, having contact with him, that something of the human mind
percolates Or is imbibed. As I have said, the human mind has developed and is
developing fast, specially in recent years, to an extraordinary degree, in the
domain of physical science leading to discoveries that appear so subtle and
distant, far off</p>
