' Trance Meditation '...


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.
