Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

Fragment ID: 13290

What is trying to come down in you is the silence and peace of the Self – when that comes fully, then there is no ego-perception, it is drowned in the wideness of the silence and peace of the Self. But this realisation is at first in the static condition of the Self only – in the dynamic movements the ego may still be there owing to past habits – but each time an ego-movement is abandoned, the sense of the loss of ego becomes deeper and more complete. It is perhaps some impression of what is trying to come that has touched you.
