Trust the divine power, and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of divine nature.

For the powers of our mind, life, and body are bound to their own limitations, and however high they may rise or however widely expand, they cannot rise beyond them. But still, mental man can open to what is beyond him and call down a Supramental Light, Truth, and Power to work in him and do what the mind cannot do. If mind cannot by effort become what is beyond mind, Supermind can descend and transform mind into its own substance.

War is a dangerous teacher and physical victory leads often to a moral defeat.
