Aspiration...


Aspiration which is not just a vague and occasional wish but a steady settled and intense longing for the Overself is a primary requirement.

Such aspiration means the hunger for awareness of the Overself, the thirst for experience of the Overself, the call for union to the Overself.

It is a veritable power which lifts one upward, which helps one give up the ego more quickly, and which attracts Grace.

It will have these desirable effects in proportion to how intensely it is felt and how unmixed it is with other personal desires.
