Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 3

Fragment ID: 12717

It is clear that when you go out of your body like that you pass into a vital plane and as you are constantly attacked there and have fear, it is not desirable.

It seems to me I have explained all that to you before. Everybody goes out into the vital world in that way, but it is not indispensable to the sadhana to have these experiences and it is better to postpone them till you have the truly helpful experiences – such as those narrated in a recent letter – and can build up a strong consciousness which can enter any plane without fear or danger.
