' Glimpses of Reality '...


Those who have followed the Quest in previous lives will generally receive a glimpse at least twice during the present one.

They will receive it in early life during their teens or around the threshold of adult life.

This will inspire them to seek anew.

They will receive it again in late life during the closing years of the reincarnation.

This will be bestowed as a Grace of the Overself.

Those aspirants who bemoan the loss of their early glimpse should remind themselves, in hours of depression, that it will recur before they leave the body.

In addition to those glimpses which attend the opening and closing years of a lifetime, a number of others may be had during the intervening period as a direct consequence and reward of the efforts, disciplines, aspirations, and self-denials practised in that time.
