The Overself should not be reached merely in trance; it must be known
in full waking consciousness. Trance is merely the deepest phase of
meditation, which in turn is instrumental in helping prepare the mind
to discover truth. Yoga does not yield truth directly. Trance does not
do more than concentrate the mind perfectly and render it completely
calm. Realization can come after the mind is in that state and after
it has begun to inquire, with such an improved instrument, into truth.
