What is required is faith. Man has body, life and mind but that is not all that constitutes man. He has risen to the mind as a result of evolution. Now a higher consciousness will be evolved - this I call Supermind. It is the instrument of the Divine Consciousness, the Truth-Consciousness.
Sri AurobindoCan everybody contact the higher forces? No, not indeed; but they submit themselves to a discipline and this brings them success.

Sri AurobindoVain indeed is all overweening pride in the conquest even of the entire universe if one has not conquered one's own passions.
