style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'> it is so, then what is the necessity at all
of work and labour and travail – this difficult process of sadhana? The question
is rather naive, but it is very often asked. The answer also could be very
simple. The change decreed is precisely worked out through the travail: one is
the end, the other is the means; the goal and the process, both are decreed and
inevitable. If it is argued, supposing none made the effort, even then would
the change come about, in spite of man's inaction? Well, first of all, this is
an impossible supposition. Man cannot remain idle even for a moment: not only
the inferior Nature, but the higher Nature too is always active in him – remember
the words of the Gita – though behind the veil, in the inner consciousness.
Secondly, if it is really so, if man is not labouring and working and making
the attempt, then it must be understood that the time has not yet come for him
to undergo the change; he has still to wait: one of the signs of the imminence
of the change is this very intensity and extensiveness of the labour among
mankind. If, however, a particular person chooses to do nothing, prefers to wait
and see – hopes in the end to jump at the fruit all at once and possess it or
hopes the fruit to drop quietly into his mouth – well, this does not seem to be
a likely happening. If one wishes to enjoy the fruit, one must share in the
effort to sow and grow. Indeed, the process itself&quot; of reaching the higher
consciousness involves a gradual heightening of the consciousness. The means is
really part of the end. The joy of victory is the consummation of the joy of
battle.</span></p>

style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>Man can help or retard the process of Nature,
in a sense. If his force of consciousness acts in line with Nature's secret
movement, then that movement is accelerated: through the soul or self that is
man, it is the Divine, Nature's lord and master who drives and helps Nature
forward. If, on the contrary, man follows his lesser self, his lower ego,
rajasic and tamasic, then he throws up obstacles and barriers which hamper and
slow down Nature's march.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt'>In a higher sense, from a transcendental
standpoint, however, this too is only an appearance. In reality man neither
helps nor hinders Prakriti. For in that sphere the two are not separate
entities. What is viewed as the helping hand of man is really Nature helping
herself: man is the conscious movement of Nature. In that transcendent status
the past and the future are rolled together in the eternal present and all
exist there as an accomplished fact: there is nothing there to be worked out
and achieved. But lower down there is a play of forces, of conflicting possibilities
and the resultant is a balance of these divergent lines. When one identifies
oneself with the higher static consciousness one finds nothing to be done, all
is realised –&quot;the eternal play of the eternal child in the eternal
garden&quot;.¹ But when one lives in the Kurukshetra of forces, one cannot
throwaway one's Gandiva and say, &quot;I will not fight”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
