</p>
<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> One has forgotten. From the fact 
of separation from Sat - Chit - Ananda comes forgetfulness of what one is. You 
believe you are, does not matter what, a boy, a girl, a man, a woman, a dog, a 
horse, any thing : a stone, the sea or the sun. You think you are all that, 
instead of thinking that you are the One Divine. Indeed, if you had continued to 
think that you are the One Divine, there would have been no universe at all. The 
phenomenon of separation seems to have been indispensable, otherwise it would 
have remained always as it was.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> But once the curve has been 
followed up and the Unity re-established, having profited by the multiplicity 
and division, the Unity found is of a higher quality : a Unity that knows 
itself, instead of a unity that does not know itself, for there is nothing else 
there which knows the other. Where the Unity is absolute, who or what can know 
the Unity ? Hence the need of the appearance of something which is not that, in 
order to know what it is.
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-65</p>
<hr>
<p class="para"> I believe this is the secret of 
the universe. Perhaps the Divine truly wanted to know Himself, then He cast 
Himself out of Himself and looked at Himself. And now He wants to take the joy 
of this possibility of being Himself with the full knowledge of Himself. It 
becomes much more interesting.
</p>
<br>
<p class="paracenter">

<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> All physical life has the vital 
as its origin. The vital has the mental reality as its origin. The mental itself 
has another origin. And so on.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> Nothing can be manifested upon 
earth physically unless it has at its origin a higher truth. Otherwise the world 
would not exist. If it were something flat, having its origin in itself, it 
would very soon cease to exist. It is because there is a force, an energy that 
drives, behind the manifestation that life continues to exist. Otherwise it 
would quickly exhaust itself.
</p>

<p class="paracenter">

<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> The original Will was towards 
forming individual beings that would be capable of becoming conscious again of 
their origin, although the
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-66</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">procedure of individualisation compelled the individual to feel 
itself separate in order to be an individual. And the very moment it is 
separated, it is cut off from the original Consciousness, at least apparently, 
and falls into inconscience, for the only thing that is the Life of life is the 
Origin.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> It is this inconscience that 
brings it about that you are not aware any longer of the Truth of your being. 
The secret of all deformation in the world is this inconscience which has been 
produced by the fact of separation from the Origin. And that explains why there 
are ugliness, wickedness, illness, suffering and death. It is because of this 
inconscience that although the Origin is there, it cannot manifest itself. It is 
there, therefore the world exists, but it is deformed in its expression, because 
it manifests itself through inconscience, ignorance and obscurity.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> The only way to set everything 
right is to be conscious again and it is very simple.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> There is only one Origin. This 
Origin is the Truth at its perfection, for it is the only thing that truly 
exists. It has exteriorised itself, projected itself, scattered itself, and by 
so doing has produced what we see, a mass of very fine, very brilliant brains in 
search of that which they have not yet found and which they find at last; for 
what
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-67</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">they are in search of is within them. The remedy is within the 
heart of the Evil.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> There is what we call the Truth, 
the foundation of all things, because if that was not there nothing would be. 
There is nothing which does not carry within it an eternal Truth, otherwise it 
would not be. The universe would not exist one-thousandth part of a second if it 
did not contain in itself a Truth.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> And once you have found the 
truth, you find the Origin, you find out why things are what they are and the 
means of changing them. If you are in contact with the Divine, you have the key 
to everything. You know the how, the why, the process by which that may change. 
So there is somethig to be done. It is so interesting.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> You represent a little mass of 
agglomerate substance that forms your self. Enter into that and find the key. 
You cannot say : &quot;That is beyond me, that is too great for me.&quot;.Go within the 
little person and you will find the key that opens all the doors.
</p>
<br>
<p class="paracenter">
&#8258;</p>
<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> You are That, you are in That. To 
make you understand more easily, I may say, That is within us, That is part of 
our consciousness
</p>
<br><p class="pageno">Page-68</p>
<hr>
<p class="para">somewhere. Otherwise we would never be able to be conscious of 
it. If we did not carrythe Divine within ourselves, in the essence of our being, 
we would never be aware of Him, it would be an impossible task.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> You can turn the problem the 
other way round. The very moment you conceive and feel in one way or another, or 
even, to begin with, you admit that the Divine is within you and you are also 
within the Divine, that itself pushes the door a little, half-opens it. And if 
subsequently a great aspiration comes and an intense need to know and to be, 
then you can glide in. When you have glided in, you become conscious of what one 
Is.
</p>
<br>
<p class="paracenter">
&#8258;</p>
<p class="paracenter"></p>
<p class="para"> There is only one thing to be 
found, not two.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> If Science moves forward in a 
definite direction, if it progresses sufficiently, if it does not stop on the 
way, it will find the same thing as what the mystics found.
</p>
<br>
<p class="para"> If one goes round long enough one 
must come back to the same point. And once you come back, you have the 
impression that there was never anything to find outside. Yes, it is like that, 
there is nothing to find outside yourself.
