style='mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>I am perfectly sure that if we went back into
the past a few thousands of years, we would find that when one spoke of the
Divine it was of a being somewhat like one of the &quot;overmental&quot; gods.
But now, the way of living proper to these overmental divinities who governed
the earth and created many things upon earth for a very long time, seems to us
very inferior to what we conceive as the Supramental. This Supramental again
which we now call the Divine and which we seek to bring down upon earth will
have the same effect upon us a few thousand years hence as the Overmental has
upon us now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='mso-bidi-font-size:14.0pt'>In other words, in the manifestation, in his
Self-expression the Divine is progressive. Outside and beyond manifestation, He
is something we cannot conceive of. But when He manifests Himself in this
status of constant becoming, He manifests more and more of Himself, as if He
had reserved for the final end the most beautiful things of His being.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in order to be clear to people who live in the evolutionary external consciousness
and who are aware of the way in which the terrestrial world has developed,
telling them that it is something greater than the creation of man whom he
always calls a mental being. He calls it Supramental to say that it is beyond
mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
