The true mystical life...

If on the one hand he is conscious of himself in the divine being, on the other he is conscious of himself in the human ego.

The two can coexist, and at this stage of advance, do.

But the ego must knit itself to the higher self until they become like a single entity.

When his mind is immovably fixed in this state, his personal will permanently directed by the higher one, he is said to have attained the true mystical life.
