<FONT SIZE=3>THE great, perhaps, the greatest secret of <I>life –
uttamam rahasyam, </I>to quote the familiar phrase of the
Gita-consists in finding, in coming in contact with and remaining in
permanent contact with this centre of our being, the nucleus of our
living. And curiously, if we are alert and observant enough, we
discover that this mysterious thing is not very far to seek. There is
hardly any developed human being who has not had, some time or other
in the course of his life, a feeling or perception that he is free,
he is happy in a miraculous way, as if he is above or away from the
vicissitudes of external life, nothing touches him and he is unique
and self-fulfilled, he is on the summit of his being, in the topmost
form of his nature. However fugitive that experience may be, it is
the kernel of his being that reveals itself for a moment, the central
consciousness that moves, guides, inspires and supports his whole
life-and all his other lives too-although till now from behind the
veil. That is what we call the Divine in the individual, the Inner
Controller, <I>antary<FONT FACE="Luxi Serif">Ä</FONT>min, </I>the
conscious being ever seated within the heart, <I>purusa sad<FONT FACE="Luxi Serif">Ä</FONT>

<FONT SIZE=3>Once this centre has been aspected – in whatever
manner, to whatever degree, even faintly and feebly-one has always to
come back to it, as the mariner to the pole-star, try to connect all
external happenings as well as one's inner movements with this
fountain-head. That is to say, one must think, feel or do nothing
that is contrary to the truth it is, that is not in accord with its
rhythm and law: indeed one must always endeavour to think only that
thought, feel only that feeling, do only that act which is the
spontaneous and inevitable outcome and expression of that innermost
and topmost reality. </FONT>

<FONT SIZE=3>single-pointed to your soul-consciousness, to your
deity. And that also is the only way by which there can be realised
in you, the highest and largest, the most intimate and absolute
harmony you are capable of and that is demanded of you. The perfect
organisation of the individual life can be obtained in and through
the harmony inherent in the central reality, in the natural order of
its activities. In the scheme or pattern laid out in the inmost
consciousness, each element has its own orbit and its own quantum of
energy, each force its. allotted function: the will in each is
exactly commensurable with what should be the expression in it of the
total reality, each is the whole and rounded articulation of an
aspect or figure put forth by the central truth in its self-display.
As in a musical theme, each note has a definite pitch, amplitude,
tone which give it its perfect form in order to constitute a common
pattern – the highest pitch, the largest amplitude or the most
vibrant tone is not needed, not only not needed, would be a bar on
the contrary – even so, the individual man when he attains
perfection realises in himself a harmony which gives the true
expression of all his limbs, the fullest and fairest expression of
each and every one as demanded by the divine role destined for him.</FONT></P>
