Record of Yoga
AUGUST-OCTOBER 1914
August 1914.
August 1st
Script
The work done in July is still incomplete, since even the samata & faith are capable of temporary and partial obscuration, although no longer of serious disturbance or actual eclipse. Hasya has to be strengthened and faith in sharira & kriti made imperturbable, so as to end this persistent imperfection.
Rapidity & complete organisation have to be brought into the vijnana.
Sharira has to be brought to the level of Vijnana.
Kriti has to be made effective.
=
The obstruction to the power has been restored and although when force is put out, it breaks down in almost every case, yet the resistance is obstinate, occasionally vehement, &, when the force is not put out, usually successful. The spontaneous effectivity of the Chit Tapas has been suspended. All this, however, is an appearance & not a reality.
It is the effort of the Dwayavins to divide the being into two forces of effectivity & in effectivity & of the Limiters to identify the in effectivity with the clairvoyant knowledge. It has been proved that this is only telepathic trikaldrishti & shows at most which force will prevail, if no other is applied.
Ananda of struggle & defeat has been suspended & the activity of the affirmations. Therefore August begins with successful Asiddhi. This occurs always & shows that the struggle still continues. As usual [ ]1 the intention of the opposing forces is to show that the statement of the completion of the subjectivity is a falsehood. But all that has been said is, It is assured & all but the final touches accomplished. It has not been said that the results cannot be clouded or suspended.
There is still an excessive affirmation of result cast on the mind by the Tapasic powers of the intelligence.
Vijnana is not active in its own light, but only the mind in the borrowed & often deflected light of vijnana. It is therefore the worst asiddhi possible at this stage. An outer shell has been placed over the
1 MS it is (extraneous)

siddhi, through which however it is still entirely visible.
=
Reject the conditions of struggle imposed by the Dwayavins who are now replacing the Nidah as they replaced the Vritras & Atris. A little of the lower activities has been taken up by them, to be afterwards dropped.
=
It has been shown that the personal Power can prevail over the opposition & in its development must certainly become dominant. But it is the impersonal Power that has to prevail by taking possession of the hostile forces. It is for this reason that the gradual process is so prolonged & that even now the hampering of the full rapidity is permitted.
=
The Karma of Sahitya is being maintained, but too much in one groove. As soon as the October work is finished, a freer movement must be allowed, including Veda (Vamadeva), Poetry, Philology and a prose volume on Yoga. Essays on the Gita will also be begun.
___
There is no advance, only the struggle which shows continually that they cannot eventually prevail, but can obstruct & limit, to a certain extent cloud, to a less extent devour. But the last is an appearance rather than a fact. The clouding is also obstruction. Limitation is obstruction of new movement, clouding the obstruction of old for a time, devouring the actual impairing of what has been acquired. In this sense the clouding is a fact, but it is done by the Nidah, not the Vritras.
August 2d..
Script
The immediate struggle is almost over & the natural march of the siddhi is being resumed, a march not unhampered but gaining strength & richness from every opposition. The Ananda & Tapas have once more to be puissantly united & applied in their union to every activity.
The affirmations are once more being affirmed.
There is nothing as yet definite in the nature of an advance

The Nidah attempt to prevent the application of the true trikaldrishti by the old method of misused telepathy.

As yet there is no definite advance, only beginnings which may turn into something definite.
Kriti is successful only in details. Arogya is still successfully resisted.

There is an action of the decisive trikaldrishti, but it is not yet either exactness in time (except roughly & occasionally) or certainty in the use.

The decisive, untelepathic trikaldrishti is now finally active & will not again be suspended; only its relations with the telepathic have to be reduced to the terms of the ritam.

The Lipi 40 refers to the state of the Tapas effectivity which is now normal in this degree, ie effective but with resistance, slow success, often apparent unsuccess (being fulfilled afterwards or when the Tapas is not active or the attention elsewhere) or successful in wrong time, patra & circumstance. The higher degrees of the siddhi are held back or manifest only in detail.
The next step is to raise it to 50°.

ता शं च योश्र्च लद्नस्य वशिम
Script.
The progress is once more gradual, but there is progress. In order to justify themselves, the powers of Mahasaraswati are labouring to evolve more consciently & largely.
The struggle to carry forward Tapas to 50° has begun. There is now a mixed action of the two degrees 40° & 50°
40° when the result is brought about imperfectly or perfectly after a strong, obstinate but not dominant resistance.
50° when the result is brought about exactly after a brief & ineffectual resistance.
Page-124
60° when the result is brought about instantaneously in spite of a slight internal resistance, but with all the resisting power behind in posse.
80° when the result is brought about instantaneously without resistance in spite of all the conditions of resistance being there
100° when the conditions of resistance are changed immediately into conditions of fulfilment.
The last three are powers of the Chit-Tapas, the others of divided Chit & Tapas.
Rupa-Samadhi has again to be carried forward.

Aug 7th
The force of Asiddhi has now endured for a full week. Its power is still in limitation by the division into favourable & hostile forces. It is most active in kriti & in sharira.
Samata has stood the test, but not the faith in the rapidity or the faith in the kriti. These are entirely eclipsed.

Script -
The body resists the impulse of indefatigable work which the Prana accepts & the Mind Powers support. As yet this struggle must continue. It is sure to end in success, but rapidity is not yet assured.
The power & thought are again working & overbearing the opposition..
Consequently, the faith also is reviving, but not yet in the kriti, nor entirely in the rapidity.
Page-125
The decisive trikaldrishti is gaining in strength & frequency.
The communication of an exterior "vani" "England declares war" has proved accurate in time & in circumstance.
The indications of telepathy only go wrong when the false ideas of others are received as truths of fact. The adhar has no ideas of its own in these matters. The impression that it has, is a remnant of the old illusion.
No personal effort must be made to push forward the siddhi. That gives a handle to the Dwayavins.
It will be found that without effort everything arranges itself. The fight is only over the rapidity & over the method, but that battle must be fought out by the forces in the Prakriti.
The forward march will again begin -

Darshana
The third intensity is now constant, but not invariable as the perception is frequently pushed back to the lower intensities. But it is only in particular cases. The attempt at a general lowering always fail [s], although it is aided by the strong perception of ego in the consciousness of persons & of indeterminate sat in things.

The dasyabuddhi & samata are now being strengthened & universalised both in the subjective & objective. For the latter to be absolute, it is necessary that there should be the utmost power of titiksha. Here the rapid concentrated & not the gradual method will be used, except in the titiksha of intense pain from external sparsha.

Both Vijnana and Ananda are already advancing.

The Karma of Sahitya must now be entirely regularised. Here also the rapid concentrated method will be used.

Afternoon.
There is now fixed and strong dasatya as well as dasyabuddhi. The faith in the Ishwara is once more firm; but the faith in the rapidity and in the kriti is as yet without food of sustenance.
In the thought the process of conversion of the non-luminous into the luminous continues.
In the ananda there is the process of conversion of subjective and objective discomfort into values of delight.
In the trikaldrishti the ritam continually increases and if not yet brihat in the active knowledge, is brihat in the passive and tends towards mahima in the active.
The power increases in the mass of its force but is resisted in detail. In the end it more often prevails than fails. And it is now acquiring exactitude of result.
From tomorrow recovery of power in sharira and in kriti.

Script -
The progress of the Vijnana & Power will be found inevitably rapid. The opposition now will be in kriti & sharira.
The rapid growth of the hair, although not yet prevailing in lowest stratum, is a second sign of rapid effectivity in saundarya. The first was the figure. The three that are effective, must be perfected -& the force extended to the features where chiefly the resistance is concentrated.
Page-127
Utthapana will presently be resumed, the secondary,- the secondary is the key of the primary & tertiary.
The sharira has finally to be embraced in its entirety.
The vijnana is justifying itself always & the effective vyapti; the tapasic suggestions are now being converted into truths & the force of will is no longer a serious disturbing factor in the knowledge. It is active as a potential source of error, but the element of error is being constantly reduced.
There is a momentary resuscitation of the force of opposition in the vijnana & power, but until the opposition in the third chatusthaya is eliminated, such appearances are to be expected.

Temporary obscuration of third intensity of Darshana. Mental vision is now more frequent.
Aug 10th
Script.
The advance is evident, but it is not yet dominant in Rupa-Samadhi or in Arogya.
Kamananda is now perfectly fixed in recurrence & in frequent continuity. It has intensity as well & is independent of asana, although to some extent influenced by old habit of asana. It is becoming independent of smarana, but that is not so apparent. It is more independent than it seems. The contrary notion is due to a false experiential logic in the mind, which lays too much stress on the defect and on a certain attempt of the exterior smarana to rush upon the ananda & claim it as its effect by a rapid self association. Entire
Page-128
continuity is delayed by old memories in the body which help in keeping up the idea of inability of dharana and the habit of discontinuance.
The other physical anandas are more subject to these old memories and habits & too dependent on smarana. The one strong exception is the tivra, but only in certain parts of the body.
Telepathy of sensation, feeling, state of mind, vague thought, especially those connected with action, are now extremely strong and frequent. Even when veiled for a time they reassert themselves. Pure thought & precise thought are also received, but here there is a much greater difficulty for the discernment, & they usually come as ideas in the mind rather than as perceptions of another mind. Clear telepathy is still much dependent on sanyama & not so spontaneous as general telepathy

The scholastic is now begun in earnest, with order & the working of the intuitive perception & the intuitive reason. Nothing, except physical interference, can now oppose its steady completion. It is also working rapidly.
The poetical faculty remains to be remanifested. That will be done afterwards, though not too long afterwards.
Aug 11th
Script.
The force of Aiswarya in Kriti is evident in the action, but successfully opposed in the result
By the successful materialisation of further opposition, the apparent struggle has been brought back into the Vijnana. It must again be expelled.
The opposition works by preventing illumination; it must be expelled by insisting on illumination.
Page-129
This opposition will disappear presently. It has no force of reality, but only an artificial & external pressure.
Although the movement towards the final exclusion of the physical touches of asamata has been temporarily defeated, it will gather greater force from its check.
The suspension of the full activity of lipi, is also due to the opposition, but it also prepares the spontaneous uninterrupted activity independent of smarana

There is again the activity of the trikaldrishti; when it acts, it is no longer fallible, as before. But it does not always act, or not always with full light and energy.

Aishwarya is sometimes effective with the Chit-Tapas of the second intensity, sometimes effective by time, sometimes ineffective.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more & more powerful & pervasive after every check and even the Kriti in some of its sides, appears no longer quite impossible from the point of view of the rational intellect.
The Samaja seems impossible; and rapidity in the sharira denied, throwing a doubt on its completeness.

Today there will be finalities.
What is being done, is the reduction of perceptions to their right value, the removal of over & understress. This is essential for the ritam. The trikaldrishti is already infallible, provided the telepathy does not disturb its valuations in the mind, mistaking forces for eventualities. All is satyam, all is not yet ritam.
This reduction will today be complete. Not that there will not be temporary disturbances.
At the same time there will be a rapid advance of the Aishwarya-vashita-ishita. This is already being prepared. Its present sign is the greater obstinacy and at the same time the greater weakness of the opposition. Its later sign will be the diminution to vanishing point of the factor of Time indicating the failure of the resistance. Its latest will be the disappearance of the deflections of circumstances.
At first limited in range the effectivity will be finally universalised.
Some advance will be made in Rupa-Samadhi
=
One finality yesterday was the irresistible reduction of all touches subjective or objective of discomfort or pain into terms of ananda. It is now only at the first touch that the subjective can present themselves as pain or discomfort; they are immediately afterwards converted into Ananda. The policy of conversion replaces the old method of exclusion, & is infinitely more effective.

Raudrananda. All dull pain even long continued is now Ananda. Also all acute pain & acute discomfort not long continued, even those proper to disease. It is the continued acuteness beyond a certain degree that still needs to be converte'd.
Vijnana
The whole action of the triloka is now perceived habitually, and no longer only the nervous & physical worlds, in their activities, except that the activity of the highest heaven is still a little obscure; because that of the second reveals itself more in relation to the third, than in relation to the super-conscient realms.
For the ritam it is necessary that the Maharloka should also reveal itself.
==
The reduction of perceptions to their right values proceeds.. In its type & general application the change is now fixed & final, but it sometimes fails in its particular application.
==
The force of effective Tapas is now very general. The extreme weakness of the opposition becomes more & more evident, but it has still a reserve of force which supports its obstinacy & which it is constantly expending in order to maintain itself.
==
In the swapna samadhi the firmness has increased in the continuity of action seen, but the continuity itself is rare? Momentary figures & scenes are still the rule. In jagrat the struggle continues without a definite victory on either side. Stable perfect rupa manifested twice, but in a distant akasha. The obstruction still reduces most stable forms to a blur or keeps perfect or clear forms to the state of instability varying from one to two or three moments.

Script.
Life has been preparing all this time. Today it begins with the publication of the Review and the continued stream of subscribers.
However limited at present the success and the effectivity of the Tapas, it has been proved beyond doubt effective and is becoming regularly effective; always as a force among others, sometimes, in varying degrees, as the effective force. So much has been gained[,] no more.
The organisation of the vijnana is now possible, because there is not only the abundance, the vaja, not only the satyam & brihat -although both of these are capable of improvement,- but also the basis of faith & samata. Not yet faith in the kriti or the sharira to the extent needed, but faith in the powers that are at work as real powers & the aim as their real aim.
Whether that aim can be worked out by the evolution of the full power needed, has now to be seen. That is the work of 1914-15.
It is not necessary now to record every fluctuation of the siddhi,— only the definite results.

Aug 16th
The 15th passed in a state of void and of passive receptivity.
The suggestion of the complete Kalibhava is now fixed; ie the form of the egoistic consciousness with a name attached to it is repelled whenever it throws its shadow on the central consciousness, & there is instead the conception of the ego as an ansha of Prakriti or a vibhuti serving as an instrument and slave of the Ishwara or Para Purusha.
Organisation of Vijnana is now definitely proceeding by the combination of Vani, vangmaya thought and perceptive jnana. All mental perceptions are being made luminous & the anritani of the trikaldrishti and telepathy steadily reduced to the luminous terms of the ritam. There is an incipient arrangement of ritam.
This carries with it a corresponding andha visvasa & bhakti for the Ishwara, with anandamaya submission, but not faith in particular kriti. Sense of responsibility is repelled and begins to disappear. Vak is being definitely renounced into the hands of the Ishwara. The demand for truth is disappearing in its remnants, also the idea that anything done can be wrong or have the wrong results.
The perception of Krishna everywhere and all as forms & names of his play is definitely & irrevocably established. Intensity of the perception with chanda ananda is being added to the fixity.
The relation with the internal Ishwara is being fixed in the system by the Vani & the Kalibhava. The perception of the internal Ishwara is intermittent.
The relation with the external Ishwara is now permanently fixed in the consciousness. But both internally & externally the perception
Page-135
of the Person is imperfect, intermittent in the internal, covered in the external by the perception of the Manomaya. This defect has today to be corrected.
From today dates the perfection of the first seven Affirmations.3

The third intensity is fixed in the Krishnadarshan and more prevalent, only in animals it is temporarily of the second intensity, owing to the non-assimilation of the ego. The universality is also nearer to fixity.
The intensity of the subjective Ananda has been for a time depressed & denied. It is now again brought forward. This is the Prab [h] ritha of the Veda. Intensity in the Indriya-Anandas, (sight etc) is easy; for it has long been established and can only be covered for a time, but can no longer be limited or, now, divided. The intensity of the purely subjective (manomaya & bauddha) Ananda will from today reach the same immunity. It is already there, but does not occupy always the surface of the chitta.
Vijnana is now again active, but the illumination & decisiveness continue to be resisted.

The energy is depressed & the illumination withheld in order to prepare a greater normality of the Vijnana in those tracts of chaitanya that are still insufficiently receptive.
Certain habitual activities which belong to the old order of things, are likewise being discouraged by this suspension.
The slow trickling in of subscriptions continues; the rapid stream has not yet begun.
In Samadhi the organisation is arrested & there is inactivity in rupa and even in lipi, although the latter can always be energised by attention.
The action of the Vijnana cannot be destroyed, it can only be suspended for a while with a lowering of its correctness, as soon as it revives, it recovers all its force & power of ritam.

The violence of the opposition to Arogya is now somewhat abating; but as yet there is no positive progress. The siddhi has, however, resisted strong tests & is slightly improved in its force.
The physical Ananda has been exposed to severe tests, but its stability & intensity remain unimpaired. Its permanent continuity is still successfully resisted.
The general force of primary utthapana remains. But here too there is no positive advance.
Saundarya after an attempt at advance is once more stationary -

Faith in the Yogasiddhi is now firmly settled; also Samata of the shanta order with sukham & hasyam firm, though subdued.
The denial of Kalibhava amounts only to a temporary obscuration,- the positive egoistic form of namarupa is no longer able to reassert itself.
The Krishnabhava also can, at most, be obscured for a time. In the first two chatusthayas, half of the third, half of the fourth, half of the fifth & the sixth, arrest is possible, no longer diminution.

It is evident that the effectivity of the Tapas is stronger than before the eclipse, & also the sureness of the perceptions in the trikaldrishti.
It has now to be seen how swiftly this force can be extended.
==
Already the settled faith extends itself to eventual & general kriti as well as Yogasiddhi; & the anandamaya samata prepares to take the place of the shanta.
Sahasa is now assured, but has to unite with the kaushala.
The second stage of the third intensity in the Krishnadarshana is taking the place of the first.

Script.
It is now the tertiary dasya which is gathering strength to get rid of the shadow of the old Prakritic illusion of freedom in the adhara.
The Kalibhava also persists in strengthening itself and the third intensity of the Darshana.
The Dwayavins are being excluded by the perception of the One in all mutually opposing movements & of the harmony of means and end in that movement.
The ordinary mental perceptions even in trikaldrishti are becoming more & more correct.
The resistance to the activity of Premananda must be removed. There is no positive denial any longer of the universal Prema which manifests itself in the adverse movements & associates itself with anger, opposition etc turning them to rudrata pure. It is the effigies of the old indifference which has to be replaced by the udasina prema. For there must be three forms of the prema, rudra prema, mitra-prema & udasina prema. All the three must eventually unite into a trinity with one or other of its three faces uppermost at will. This prema must be ugra & chanda; but the saumatya will be always concealed in it as a basis.
All this must be done rapidly & even suddenly, not gradually & slowly.
==
But the chief work now must be the perfection of the vijnana; in the trikaldrishti first; for there it is only the remnants of false stress that have to be transformed into right stress.
At bottom it is the same in the tapas. The will of the Ishwara has to be known & the adhara made its instrument. Here it is the false stress of partiality that has to be transformed.
The rupa & samadhi are less easy to perfect. For there the Nidah have a long record of successful obstruction.
That must now be broken, but the whole of the vijnanasiddhi must now be done spontaneously without individual effort on the part of the adhara.

Rapidity has to be strengthened & universalised.
The forces of asiddhi are attempting once more to utilise their immediate success in the kriti to recover lost ground in the other chatusthayas.
This attempt may be disregarded & the siddhi pursued tranquilly. It is in the samadhi & the body that it must be pursued & in the kriti.

Aug 31st.
The last day of the month, which, like others, has been a disappointment, for that which it set out to fulfil, has not been fulfilled. The imperfection of Vijnana remains; there are still some occasional touches of Asamata; the faith in the Kriti is lacking except in a small & rudimentary form; the sharira is successfully obstructed; the Kriti is still a field of petty successes & large failures.
Advance there has been in the three first chatusthayas & the sixth, & the preparation of advance in the fourth & fifth. But real rapidity has yet to be evolved. What is done rapidly, is held back from its finality, even when it is not temporarily veiled or undone. The action of the Atris remains in its remnants, of Vritra in a partial veiling, of the Dwayavins & Nidahs in their practical power of division & obstruction.
Until these are removed & the false suggestions of the pranic & mental world corrected, there can be no effective general siddhi.

The effective activity of the seven forms of consciousness & the farther establishment of Ananda are predicted in the sortilege. The key is always the opening up of the Maharloka.

Both Cavalier & Horse are justified.
In the internality the leap will now be taken.
In the externality it is being prepared.
The vijnana is now active, admirably, within the surrounding mass of the mental movements, clarifying and converting them. Karma - Hymn & Commentary.
The recent experience has shown that in proportion to the passivity of the mind, satya increases & converts itself into ritam. Extreme receptive passivity of the mind, increasing activity of the vijnana, this is the law, Tad vrafam.
As for the Samadhi, that still prepares behind the veil & is obstructed in front. From time to time it manifests fragmentarily in front of the veil.
The power is enclogged & encumbered.

From the evening the recovery of the Siddhi activity began to be more pronounced.
There is a clear illumination in the Sahitya & Veda. The word is not always immediately the best. There will be some delay in this respect, owing to the imperfect receptivity of the brain, a part of which is still obscure and another admits fatigue. But, except when there is general obscuration, the Sruti acts in spite of all.
Power is again clearly & rapidly effective, although still resisted & in details & immediate movements with frequent success.
Samadhi (swapna) has suddenly moved forward. There was long continuation of the same rupa (a pool of water) with continuous movement in it & a long succession of images in the water, each ' distinct, lifelike & long-stable. There was also perfect continuity of consciousness. This was also notable as an example of dream perfectly changed into vision. All night there was a higher activity.

The brief period of preoccupation is now over & the steady forward progress has to be renewed.
The thought with a little attention now always assumes automatically the vijnanamaya form, is always satya & increasingly rita. If there is any serious defect of rita it is that which still persists in trikaldrishti & affects the jnana. The trikaldrishti & telepathy have now to go through their closing stages of organisation. The rest will be only extension.

Preliminary
"In us may felicities rich in aspiration come & combine together from day to day, in us may all abundances be set in energetic motion.
He illumined by the light & force of the human activities shall pierce & rise beyond with somewhat of rapidity."
These two days are not to belong to the former series; they are not to be days of oppression and obstruction, but of an increasing rapidity in the advance, preliminary to an uninterrupted progression in October.
Nati is now perfected, with titiksha and an udasinata only occasionally and superficially troubled. This habit of superficial touches has now to disappear.
By that perfection the finality of positive samata is at last entirely possible. All Ananda, except the purely physical, is now preparing for perfection. The perfection is being manifested, the intensity organised.
The second chatusthaya is only a little less advanced. It has two bases, dasya and faith. Perfect tertiary dasya is now in normal action; only sometimes smarana of the Master is insufficient. Faith is being prepared for perfection; but faith in the double Kriti needs still the evidence of effective Aishwarya & Ishita. For want of sufficient Ishwarabhava it cannot find firm ground & the rest of the Chatusthaya, though well-prepared, cannot organise itself for action.
The physical Shakti has been entirely overpowered in the external body for many days owing to the attack on the Sharira siddhi. The month of October is set apart for its increasing perfection.
Page-166
The third chatusthaya awaits organisation and perfection.
The fourth has yet to be given its victorious forward movement.
The fifth awaits the organised activity of the third and fourth.
The sixth is almost perfect in combination & organisation. Only the constant Krishnabodha has to be added.
The Rik promises for October (1) the increasing richness & organisation of the Ananda; (2) full and active plenty of the faculties & siddhis.. (3) Vijnana fulfilling itself by action (4) an increasing rapidity.
The rapidity will be real and positive, not apparent, but still not the extreme rapidity.
Question -
Bodily Asiddhi?
Rik -
It is therefore by the Will that the body has to be perfected, but its effectivity depends on the bhadra pramati, the mentality being sufficiently clarified to be the medium of the perfect vijnana.
The conversation yesterday has given light on the Yoga. Ananda confirmed & universalised is the path to the conversion of Prana into the universal Chit-Tapas and that the path to the conversion of Body into Sat -
It is this Chit Tapas which is the base of Aishwarya-Ishita-Vashita; so long as it is not entirely realised there can be only a partial efficacy of the individual Tapas. The way to it is self-association with all energies in the universe. The Dwayavins are those powers who divide these energies into acceptable and inacceptable, friendly & hostile, accept some, repel others. A choice is necessary in action, but it must be made not by the Dwayavins, but by the Ishwara. The
Page-167
elimination of the Dwayavins is the main work now in hand. A perfect passivity in the hands of the Ishwara is the first necessity.
Subjective Ananda is completed; physical Ananda is being added. Sudden pain of burning has at last become Ananda - Prolonged intensity of pain has also to become Ananda..
The fitness of the body has to be compelled. There is no time for slow and indulgent methods. Faith in the Ishwara & acceptance of all energies & experiences are therefore being given.
The remnants of pranic choice between satya & asatya, siddhi & asiddhi, mangala and amangala are giving way. It is this element of pranic choice which is the chief enemy of unity.
Faith in some karma has been given; the exact karma is not yet luminously revealed. Or rather the lines are known; the exact accomplishment or the measure of accomplishment in this life is still obscure to the intellect.
The second chatusthaya will now be completed; its finalities will be given. For action sahasa & kaushala have to be combined. For support of action Devibhava & faith. The basis of action is the combination of dasya & ishwarabhava.
The power of the physical failure has been almost broken. Sustained action is now becoming possible; but there must be no farther consent to interruptions. The body must be forced to do the work as the slave of the Ishwara.
Lipis -
1. Find by the isolation of the telepathy the just trikaldrishti. (Sadhara Akasha) -
2. Judge - (sthapatya) -
The fulfilment of the first lipi has begun, but is not as yet very strong or distinct in the general action of the mind, only in particular movements.
The call to judge (viveka) is a part of this development.
St.
This does not mean that there shall be no official guidance or help.
Page-168
At the moment of thinking of the universal action in which the particular is to be merged & the method in which it can be harmonised with the particular action guided by the Ishwara, the eye fell on the above sentence in the newspaper "Maratha"9 lying on the table. This sort of direct reply to a doubt or difficulty is now frequent.
Trikaldrishti -
1. There will be, today, intense Kamananda
2 Sleep must be lessened, what remains must be samadhised.
3 The final struggle over the physical siddhi is definitely begun.
There is an intermittent fulfilment of the first; the fulfilment of the second has begun, only a small part of the afternoon sleep being at all darkened by tamasic nidra. The truth or error of the third cannot yet be judged.
October 1.
Samadhi —
Sleep at night was for less than six hours, but not samadhised. There is a preparation of organised samadhi (formerly only realised in the crude type), but nothing definite is yet evolved. Obstruction continues.
Script.
Work is being combined, the scholastic and the philosophical at first, with dharma in a crude state of commencement. The rest of sahitya will be added gradually, as soon as the present work is sufficiently organised.

There is an opposition in the material world in all its strata; there is no opposition in the worlds beyond. *
Sharirananda
The tivra is growing at different points of the body. From today, it will nowhere be dependent on the smarana, but will come sometimes with smarana, sometimes without. This is one finality.
It is also intense & continuous in its recurrence at many points & will soon be intense & continuous in recurrence everywhere.
Continuous intensity of the kamananda is now restored - the question is of the degree of dhdranasdmarthya in the body. It is the battle that has now to be fought out, for there is no other real obstacle to the permanent & not recurrent continuity of the Kamananda.
Raudra must now be developed to the same force as the tivra, & Vishaya & Vaidyuta brought out from their involution, - ie to say the Ahaituka, for the Sahaituka is already well-established.
Tivra is now intense in all parts of the body & much more spontaneous than before, usually almost and sometimes entirely brought without smarana.
Raudra is once more active & without immediate smarana.
Kamananda has been for some hours almost continuous, but only occasionally intense.
Sukshmagandha, intense & varied, is again active, but infrequently - Sparsha, as before, but slight & momentary in those contacts which suggest the human touch. - There is occasionally sparsha
Page-170
& rasa in the mouth, but after smarana. Shabda comes only by mudra or by concentration. Drishti is not active.
This is, on the whole, the old condition of occasional obstructed siddhi, subjected to many limitations. Here there must be freedom & finality.
Lipi -
1. A strong defeat, then destiny easily accomplished
2. Russian defeat at Berlin -
(neither 1 nor 2 are intelligible).
3. grief- only occasional shadows left in the physical prana,
as attempts at depression. 4 insult - fulfilled - (Ar. S. talk of being "espion"). 5. battle a struggle against the siddhi easily decided.
Beyond the finalities already attained today, there is already a greater activity, though not yet entirely free, in the sukshmagandha. Other finalities of the same order will occur and be confirmed in the first days of October.
In addition, the revelation of the Personality in the fourfold Brahman is again returning.
Already the sukshma drishti begins again to be active & perceive certain elementary forms of the Pranic worlds.
There is also the perception of the jnanamaya ego as the Ishwara, spontaneous & without immediate smarana.
The various sukshmavishayas have now recommenced their manifestation, but it is not yet powerful. Nevertheless, there is a finality here which will be made entirely firm.
The sense of the Lilamaya Krishna in all, is growing firmer & more intense, but is sometimes still suspended by the mere Brahma-bhava.
Page-171
October 2.
And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him; and he was nigh unto the sea -
The sortilege has no reference to another exodus, but embraces at once several movements; it is typical, more than particular.
There is still the same obstruction to the vijnanasiddhi, but the first two become more & more perfect.
Yesterday's finalities have today to be confirmed. The obstruction to the K.A [Kama Ananda] in standing & walking must disappear, as also the demand for smarana, which is no longer necessary.
K.A. is now active in all circumstances, but active without smarana only in the stationary postures. This difficulty is to be removed. All that will then remain will be the defective dharana in the body.
The isolation of the telepathy is proceeding so that there may be a finality in the exclusion of false stress of perception.
This cannot be done at once. During the month of October the organisation of the vijnana will proceed to the possibility of finality.
There must be no return to inactivity. As for the work it will be done with force as soon as the bodily tamas is dispelled -
The obstruction has prevailed throughout the day except in the generalisation of the Kamananda. Now, in the evening, the vijnanamaya thought (vangmaya) is once more active as well as the ideal perception. The Aishwarya-Vashita are still in their old stage of retarded & uncertain fulfilment.
October 3.
- ie the sense of the obstruction is that it is only in
conscious Yoga with the Master of the Yoga (by the three affirmations) that the
siddhi should proceed.
Page-172
Samadhi
The power of organisation is growing in Samadhi with the vi-jnanamaya vangmaya thought as its central agent. It is entering even into the deepest sushupta and attempting to organise there coherent lipi, perceptive thought & experience, with rupa to be added, making the Jiva jagrat in all stages.
This is the beginning of final siddhi in the swapna-samadhi & in the antardrishta jagrat, which will necessarily bring with it siddhi in the bahirdarshi & in the sushupta.
Samadhi in the afternoon pursued the same course, but was less successful owing to a heavier force of tamasic nidra. Images & actions were combined with the rest, but not well combined.
In the jagrat, samadhi is, for the time being, obstructed & unsuccessful.
Kriti continues to operate in the same fashion of partial success and partial failure without any great or decisive result.
Lipi -
1. The telepathy isolated.
2. jollity.
3 results.
The "battle" against the Siddhi continues and has not been so easily decided as was imagined at the time of the lipi.
There is still a tendency to choose those of the perceptions which are flattering to the hope. Only this is sure that the progress continues in spite of resistance. The finality of the Samata has once more been successfully denied, although the touches of revolt and grief are only physical & momentary; but the Jiva associates itself with them for the moment. There is the old process of persistent disintegration & crumbling down at points of the siddhi in its superficies which seems to be something more than superficial to the impatience of the Tapas.
The moment of defeat has passed and for the rest of the afternoon, the siddhi will be pushed forward. Inactivity must on no
Page-173
ground be accepted. It is the pretension of the Asiddhi that it will only allow the siddhi on condition of passivity & retarded progress. The necessary passivity is already there in the mental parts; it has no longer to be extended to the whole system.
There is to be no farther work of Sahitya, this afternoon; only the Yoga -
The revolt comes always from the tapasic insistence on result, the apparent sanction by the Ishwara and the subsequent discrediting of the sanction.
It is a circumstance of the imperfect assimilation of the Mahakali Bhava, which in its stronger movements tends to be the pure Mahakali using Mahasaraswati & not Mahasaraswati informed by Mahakali. It is therefore an imperfection of the Daivi Prakriti.

4 intensity of the delight
The tertiary dasyam has to be entirely enforced in its full intensity, in the body, with a view to the perfect vijnanamaya selection of the action in the mind with a view to the similar selection of the thought & the perception. At first, the result may be some confusion, eventually the positive & authoritative vijnana must emerge.
So also with the speech. All this is finally determined
today.

Power of active Consciousness.
The modified Asiddhi continues; siddhi proceeds, but interrupted and obstructed, petty & scattered in its advance.
Therefore, there is not yet the "uninterrupted progression in October"; except in so far as the work of forming Siddhi, as apart from constant success in advance, does not at all cease.
In kriti as regards the war, the Will is only effective in the slight Russian successes, but in France & Belgium it is on the defensive.
The Kamananda continues, but is not yet held by the body. The sukshmavishayas have again become rare & unimportant.
Tamas once more holds the body, but not entirely.. Sleep is diminished, but the samadhi does not progress.
Aishwarya etc are effective in a great number of small points, isolated, but as yet there is no mass, decisiveness or combination -
Work is seriously obstructed.
Utthapana is interrupted; saundarya entirely stationary.

Utthapana -
Of the arms, vertical, one hour. Defect of anima is no longer effective, but there is a lassitude in the prana which opposes a certain amount of physical unwillingness to the utthapana. Defect of anima acts more in reaction after the cessation of utthapana, very little during its activity.
Vijnana.
The tapasic stress of telepathy is being rigorously isolated. Script -
Unknown to the obstructors, veiled by external failure, the greater siddhi prepares. The organisation of the vijnana is the sole preliminary step that remains. This step once successfully taken, the vastness of the accomplishment, the rapidity of the future progress will be apparent & effective.
The defaiilances of the body are the instrument of the asiddhi, not its cause. In a sense, also, they are the result. The cause is in the physical Akash, in the unwillingness of the earthguiding Powers to undergo a novel Law.
The organisation is ready in all but the Power & the physical trilokadrishti.
It is now evident that the sukshmavishayas are firmly established, & so far as developed, even begin to be organised.
The sthula touch has to be enforced, the sthula voice, the sthula taste. They have all reached the point when they can manifest - the obstruction, strong & persistent, is yet artificial. Smell is already sthula; vision in certain forms, touch in certain contacts, taste in certain rasas.
Aishwarya-Vashita is beginning to act again more swiftly against the resistance.
The lipi "finality in the midst of obstruction" is now being fulfilled. Indeed, the obstruction is being made an instrument of finality, as in the normality of the tertiary dasya & the renunciation of the remnants of tapasic stress.
It is definitely fixed that udasinata is to be replaced by sama-
Page-176
bhoga & sama Ananda. There need, therefore, be no attempt to reestablish udasinata. Essentially it is there behind.
Oct 6.
The course of the conversion & organisation in Vijnana has to be pursued today. The whole of the hridaya (brahman) has to be given to the illumination
The attempt of the Asiddhi is, by disturbing the Samata, to compel tamasic udasinata and renunciation of tapas. The perfected Nati is attacked and the udasinata touched more than superficially. Owing to the constant siege of Asiddhi faith also is diminished.
After a long time the doubt of the Ishwara has returned with doubt of the Yogasiddhi & a moment & an element of tamasic udasinata.
This crisis, however, has not been able to stop the activity of the Tapas & the siddhi. Its more violent touch has been momentary. A general distrust of any decisive thought remains behind, & doubt of the relation of the Ishwara to the personality & the world, but especially to the personality.

Oct. 7.
There is still the same siege of the Asiddhi. Tamasic udasinata is always forbidden; but faith & Nati are seriously breached. The
Page-177
Abhayam has also been successfully attacked in the physical prana, although it remains intact in the mentality (chitta).
There is finality of the perception of the triloka, (thrice seven), in the forces & purushas that constitute it.
There is finality in the perception of the brihat satyam, without finality in the ritam. Satyam means truth of being, in thought, force, tendency etc, not truth of fact in actual eventuality.
The finality of illuminated thought & ritam is being prepared. When it is complete, there will be no farther asiddhi in the first two chatusthayas. Knowledge is the condition of perfection. The lower powers were aiming at perfection without knowledge, a passive & negative perfection.
There is finality in the telepathic perceptions, satyam, of forces, tendencies, thoughts etc, but it is not yet brihat. Brihat is being prepared.
There is finality in the ponderability of the Will. Wherever it is applied, it is a force to be reckoned with, although not yet a force that always prevails.
Yesterday closed the period of prevalent Asiddhi. Today begins the period, for October, of siddhi prevalent in spite of Asiddhi. Even in the Asiddhi, there was an uninterrupted progression of the Siddhi.
Utthapana -

The thought is now arranging itself in the sense of the ritam, only the trikaldrishti is seriously obstructed. The Energy is therefore transferring itself to the combined trikaldrishti and Aishwarya in order to make an effective combination.
Utthapana - 2 hours. No physical unwillingness except momentarily in the exterior prana. At first some defect of anima in the arms, but this disappeared, & during the last half hour there was no strain, such as yesterday's, on the [shoulder-muscles & arms.]Iu On the other hand the strain on the loins was more pronounced.
The absence of faith is still accentuated and there is nothing in the experience to restore the lost sraddha. For small indications are no longer satisfying -
The action of the vijnana is trivial and unimportant, so far as concerns life, and the attempt to organise it for practical use has failed.
The day has chiefly been occupied with work, & there is little progress.
October 9th
Although Kamananda can now occur in all asanas and without smarana, yet the Asiddhi persists in demanding smarana and obstructing in the ambulatory asana. It puts its whole force on the strength of physical habit and the inability of the body to retain a continuous Ananda.
In the subjective Ananda it invades sometimes and suspends or momentarily impairs the indriya rasa, but this rapidly rights itself.
10 MS shoulder-arms & muscles.
Page-179
The force of Asiddhi is in the mangalamangala & still more in siddhi-asiddhi. By leaning with its full force on these weak points it has restored depression and unfaith.
Therefore the old method persists and no part of the Siddhi is free from it. The Dwayavins are, for the time, triumphant.
Sharira - Arogya
The Yogagnimaya Sharira was mdre developed in Calcutta than now. Since then there has been a reaction. Mrityur va prabhavati. The signs of old age, disease, death, not only persist, but sometimes prevail and the force of the Arogya has to bear them as an irremovable, though not definitely overpowering burden.
The Saundarya no longer advances.
Utthapana progresses with difficulty and in a limited movement.
Sleep is once more dominant.
Karma
Kriti is again obstructed by a successful opposition. The month of October, proposed as a period of triumph, opens with a time of hampered movement. All the siddhis are obstructed and rendered inefficient except within their assured limits.
Script -
The importance of the present movement lies in the systematic discouragement of the tapasic stress which mistook telepathy for eventual trikaldrishti.
Kriti
A result willed vehemently a year or more ago now occurs suddenly - The faith accepts it as a result, the intellect questions
Oct 10 -
St. Bismillah placed at the head of the Koran
The movement of the Siddhi is once again overcoming the Asiddhi. The second & first chatusthayas are being restored in their
Page-180
completeness. The faith that disregards immediate outward circumstances, is developing, although still combated by the suggestions of the intellectual environment
Outward circumstances of the moment have to be understood by the vijnana. But there must first be this general faith that they have all an intelligible purpose & an intelligible sense.
It is true that they are worked out through the Pranic world by the Dwayavins using conflicting energies, but the Power that governs them in spite of their ignorance & mutual misunderstanding is One, who is neither a passive Being nor a blind Force.
The only question that remains is whether the immediate guide of the Yoga is the Ishwara himself or a Spirit who errs,- the Mano-maya Purusha in oneself or a Manishi outside.
The faith must be that it is the Ishwara, Anandamaya & Vijnanamaya who is the guide, although He still uses the impulsions & ideas of the Manishi & not yet the full Vijnanamaya harmony.
It is the replacement of the mental perceptions & impulses that is the work of the Vijnanachatusthaya. It is because that work is not yet done, that the first two chatusthayas are open to shocks & disturbances through the disappointment of the faith.
This is why it has always been said that the absolute finality of the first two chatusthayas depended on the fulfilment of the third.
But the entire fulfilment of the third implies the fulfilment of the fourth and fifth and therefore necessarily, of the sixth and seventh.
Therefore it is an integral fulfilment that is being worked out & this aim prevents the separate perfection of each chatusthaya by itself without relation to the rest.
Faith & Ananda Brahman are the two keys to the perfect internal state, with dasya as the joining point. Knowledge & Power are the two keys to the perfect external state, with Daivi Prakriti as the joining point.
Utthapana Arms 1 hr 45 minutes, discontinued for want of time, not failure of power. More physical unwillingness & more defect of anima than day before yesterday..

Oct 12th
There is a preliminary Siddhi completed in all but the fourth & fifth chatusthayas, in preparation even in those chatusthayas. In the first two there is a perfect organisation, the only defect of which is that it is not constantly immune from disturbance. The same organisation is being prepared in the third, & even in those parts of the fourth & fifth which are ready -
It is now well proved that the Kamananda & Tivrananda are firmly established. There is only the question of their continuity & in the second of its pervasion. Questions of intensity remain behind.
It is necessary, for this purpose, that the Arogya should be strengthened; but the Power is not yet strong enough in its dealings with the body.
The Utthapana has to be extended finally to legs, neck & back. The old siddhi has to be recovered & improved.
In Kriti the rapid fall of Antwerp, anticipated by the Trikaldrishti, but combated by the Will, shows that the powers of the opposition are still too powerful.
Nevertheless satyam of the power is being established, though not yet perfectly.

In the points noted for today's progress, there is a movement, but nothing is yet definitive.

The satyam of Power & Knowledge is being more & more revealed; furiously attacked in the morning, it could not be seen by the mind for a time, but was persistently asserted by the intellect.
Samadhi -
Dream at night was more coherent; possessed at first by present personality & suffering in the end from present associations, it was for a long time delivered from them. The incoherences were no longer nervous & bizarre as on the 11th

The laghima is now well-established; yesterday's exercise could have easily been continued for another half hour. Mahima defective is only a secondary state, an effect of defective Anima; in itself Mahima is sufficient,- weighed upon but not overpowered by defect of Anima. It is only in the defect of Anima, that the Asiddhi has a real point d'appui.
In other parts of the body, mahima is deficient & overpowered by violent pressure of the Asiddhi on the defect of Anima.
This defect of Mahima has to be forced out of the whole body.
Samadhi -
Rupa is now rarely manifested in the jagrat, except in form of Chitra. When manifested it has a tendency to the perfect and

Kriti -
Kriti continues to be resisted. In the immediate surroundings Power grows in strength and frequency of effectiveness, although it is no longer intense in action or rapid in effect, except in certain instances of ishita & vyapti.
Faith -
Faith is being enforced in the terms of a knowledge that gives its proper place to actual circumstances & events, but is not subjected to or guided by them. It is still insufficient with regard to the personal love of the Ishwara and the fulfilment of this life, but admits the general Kalyana and the guidance.
The love has now to be admitted. The idea, given by knowledge without love, is that of a great mechanism & a wise, perfectly inten-tioned mechanician careless of the means of his work so long as they are well-judged & effective. The Iswara is known to be all-powerful; he has now to be admitted as all-loving, but not a victim of His love, not compelled by personal affection to vary from his plan, which is always the best for the individual and the universe.
Subsequently, it must be perceived how far that love implies for the Jiva fulfilment in this life of the desires & impulses implanted in him by the Iswara & of the ideas towards the realisation of which he is continually forced to strive.-

Note the 18th & 23d . October & 9th November have been given as dates for the siddhi.
The separation of the telepathy & trikaldrishti continues.
Telepathy & Trikaldrishti
1 Of relief of Prezonysl confirmed.
2 Of German successes at sea farther confirmed in loss of Russian cruiser.
3 Of check of Russian advance in Prussia
The former constitutes, as well as the 3d a failure of the Will.

Utthapana
Of the arms, an hour and a half. The annakosha is somewhat exhausted, but there is a great force in the pranic body -The utthapana of the neck was unsuccessful.
Faith is increasing steadily & taking cognisance of the intention in things & events.
Dream incoherently consecutive, full of present association & ego. Forgotten entirely, afterwards by passive & empty tapas on the mental consciousness, almost all the details returned.
Swapna samadhi; but no advance.
Oct 15th
Great weakness followed by chill & fever.
Utthapana of arms for half an hour, interrupted owing to illness of body.
Strong fever throughout the rest of the day.
Samadhi
Rapid advance in samadhi
1. The three states of jagrat, sushupta & swapna superimposed simultaneously and perfectly combined. The mind in sushupta perceives below it the activities of the swapna & perceives also what is happening in the jagrat.
2. Perfect & unmixed arrangement of vijnanamaya thought perceptions in the mind; the result of an absolute flexibility of the intellect gained during the last few weeks. Both in jagrat & in swapna & also in combined samadhi.
3. Greater activity of the rupa.
4. Activity of Will in the samadhi, attempting to become vijnanamaya.
Strong confirmation of samata; extended to body; but failed, physically, at the strongest pitch of the discomfort of fever.
Page-188
The struggle to expel the fever was unsuccessful.
Oct 16th
Another day of fever.
Again progress in samadhi, but not so marked as yesterday. It is during the feverish state, the system being raised to a high pitch of force & intense living, that these phenomena take place. It has to be seen whether the full progress will be maintained in the normal condition of health.
Kamananda active, but discouraged for fear of the body being unable to sustain it. Strong activity of tivra & raudra anandas.
The attack of the fever & its force of entry was less powerful & prolonged. It is notable that the means on both sides was really mental, physical means being entirely inoperative either to check or increase the fever, except to a slight extent sweating. The latter was brought about by the will, not by remedies or external appliances.

1. Nineteenth text.. (Indicating that the text of R.V. V.81. which has still to be written out for the review, will be copied on that day. The fever will therefore be cured by that time as well as the weakness after fever).
Oct. 17th
The fever expelled in the morning.
No progress during the day -
Strong attack on prana sharira at night, but no fever in the physical body, only strong "surexcitation" & uneasiness & broken sleep.
Progress in swapna samadhi.
Page-189
Oct 18th
As yesterday, but no farther attack. This time little reaction of weakness. Only unwillingness to work in part of the system.
Progress in swapna samadhi confirmed & increased. Yesterday there was long continued action in firmly stable scene, but it was one action constantly continued for an indefinite period, the falling of rain in pools of water over a large surface - Today a varied action - & more than one vision.
Oct 19th
The Siddhi is now taking up the results of the 16th & 17th The organisation of the vijnana in the normal condition is to be firmly based. First, in the combination of the thought-perceptions, vang-maya, script & vani; secondly, in the combination, with them, of the samadhi; thirdly, of the addition of the organised Power; the one element subordinated during the last few days.
The gathering (ghana) of the Chit in the brain is no longer to be associated with morbid heat in the body. The attempt to absorb & hold it in the period of fever was the right & dominant movement.
Most of the day devoted to other occupations. Dullness returns on the system and suspends progress.
Oct 20th
There is still in the physical system the obstacle to activity and progress; but this will not endure.
The faith has to make itself more implicit, & to be the same for the guidance in Karma as for the guidance in Yoga.
It is not to be faith in every suggestion, but faith in the ensemble and in all that comes from the Master above.
Page-190
The definite organisation of trikaldrishti & power is proceeding; it will be henceforth like that of the knowledge automatic & well up spontaneously out of the Sat. So also with the Samadhi.
The Tapas has to be used for the removal of the obstruction which is now general and mechanical.
Oct 21th
Lorsque Fesprit alors assemble les donnees et assouplit assez sa langue pour les traduire synth6tiquement.-
Indicating the condition for the perfect trikaldrishti,- as it has been for the thought.
The whole active force of the Shakti must be concentrated on the body & on the Karma.
The trikaldrishti is defining itself more & more clearly in the sense of the sortilege. It is more effective & positive with regard to things near in time & place. This distinction will be steadily diminished & finally removed.
October 22d.
The day was chiefly marked by a great advance in the organisation of trikaldrishti both telepathic and pure. Normally, the impressions received are justified; but there is still a remnant of the tendency to overstress when there is the attempt at active judgment. For the most part, however, the impressions & perceptions were justified & begin to fall more & more into their right place & order.
The organisation of Tapas is proceeding, but has not yet gone very far.
Samadhi is still obstructed. The progress made during the fever has not been maintained in the normal condition.
There is more & more stress on the bodily siddhi and on the Karma, but as yet without effect.
Page-191
The full Brahmadarshan - full in type, not in contents,- is becoming more & more entirely ordinary & normal.
Oct 23d
The Vijnana, with the exception of Samadhi, continues to organise itself.
Remarkable effects are being produced in the immediate vicinity by the Tapas. But the element of resistance, sometimes successful, sometimes overcome immediately or with delay, entirely or in part, always persists.
Utthapana resumed. Arms 30 minutes. Defect of anima impresses itself strongly on the body, but without overcoming laghima and mahima.
Sraddha (swashaktyam bhagavati cha) is now well-founded, but not sufficient either in range or in enthusiasm and intensity.
Nevertheless, the perfection of the first three chatusthayas is now decided & will accomplish itself inevitably. It is in the fourth chatusthaya of the body that a lengthy struggle seems still to be inevitable.
In the fifth Krishna Kali is ready for completion, but Karma is only in embryo and Kama still less advanced.
The sixth is now as much advanced as the first & second & more than the third.
The seventh is established in all but the bodily siddhi & the karma, and approaching perfection of a kind in all but the mukti from pain, the shuddhi of arogya, the bhukti of the raudra, the siddhi of body & of work, or if not approaching, then already in practice capable of perfection.
Attempt at recovering the progress in Samadhi as yet only partially successful, as the sushupti tends to take possession of the two other states and to admit a certain amount, though less than before, of the tamasic nidra.
Page-192
Oct 24th
Swapna samadhi effective; but the continuity is still obscure & interrupted, and more of a continuity of action than of vision. Touch, sound, sight & movement are well combined.
In the War the Russian success is a first sign of renewed effectivity of Kriti.
Roga now attacks chiefly the stomach (mucous looseness), the teeth and the kamic centre. At other points it is usually ineffective. There is a tendency to dull headache, but this materialises badly.
In swapnasamadhi the organisation of the three states of consciousness effected in the fever, was restored; but with less force of the jagrat in the sushupti & swapna.
Oct 25.
There is as yet no new perceptible advance of any kind, rather an attempt of old confusions to reestablish themselves,- the result, it is suggested, of an attempt yesterday of the Tapas to move forward rapidly & get rid of movements of relapse, at least in the subjectivity.
The truth is that there is an alternation of states, the divine & the human, the illumined and the partially obscure, where there is pale tejas, not ritam jyotih. This alternation tends towards the elimination of the mortal and obscure and the normalisation of the divine and luminous.
Today the lower state predominates
Samadhi
Action of perceptive thought, usually vijnanamaya, at a deeper level of samadhi.
Dream makes no progress.
Page-193
Oct 26th
Power is now distributed with a limited effectivity over all its fields; but it cannot entirely prevail anywhere, is nowhere free from resistance and is subjected to signal defeats & successful obstructions.
Utthapana of arms, an hour and a half. Pranic trouble the first half hour, muscular the last quarter of an hour. Good utthapana in between.
Oct 27th
Powerful attack on the kriti.
The telepathy has been proved to be still very mixed, for things at a distance, & the falsifying overstress continues.
In things near the decisive trikaldrishti works, but not with any largeness.
Oct 28th
The period of depression continues. Faith is shaken and udasinata replaces ananda.
Utthapana of the neck 15 minutes. Pressure of defect of anima, more pranic than material.
Sahitya - poetry has been active for some days.
More trouble, though of a minor kind, in the kriti, but this did not disturb the samata.

The literary activity continues in spite of everything.
The Yogjc siddhi is attempting to revive from the serious blow that has been dealt to it; but the faith is wanting.
Without the faith the siddhi will continue; for the failure of faith has been allowed or even brought about because it is necessary.
There is an active Trikaldrishti, but it is of a mixed result & telepathic in its character.
The progress of the third chatusthaya must be resumed & the fourth & fifth insisted on again in spite of all opposition.
Only the conditions of the fifth must be changed
Oct 30th -
In seven days. St.
The Vijnana is now recovering its usual movement -
1. And he came by the Spirit into the temple.
2. P.X.
3. O Lord, my strength and my fortress and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.

That is to say, as the sortilege is now active & organised for the actuality, so the lipi will now be made active & organised for the actuality.
Page-195
Trikaldrishti, selective & decisive, is now acting in small matters with great frequency & correctness. The latter is not yet invariable.
The rest of the vijnana is still dull, except occasionally the jnana. -

The normal activity of Vijnana is restored; the attempt to generalise accurate trikaldrishti and effective Tapas is being restored.
The subjective vishayananda is finally normalised; a similar normalisation of ananda in the manas with regard to events will complete the subjective ananda. Meanwhile the physical must be perfected.
The utility of the holding back of the perfect Brahmadarshan is now manifest. The defect was that the mind had not made a proper harmony between the Anandamaya Chaitanya & the ignorant Jivatman. The latter tended to be suppressed in the darshana; therefore it has been restressed & now enters normally into its place in the darshana.
The pursuit of rapidity is renounced by the Jiva, which has once more become passive, and is digesting the greater measure of perfection rendered possible in the lower consciousness.
Tertiary dasyam is getting a greater hold on the normal consciousness.
The whole stress of the Siddhi is towards a steady & unobtrusive normalisation of what has been gained. New progress seems to be suspended.
