Rout or passage

But does not this parting contradict the very aspiration towards unity, does it not bar the way to the realization of the One?

Is not the act or movement of choice itself also an act and movement of exclusion?

Not so.

Let everyone go by their inclination until their state of separateness becomes ashes, bitterness and hollow glory and they too remember and turn to their One source.

It is part of oneself that demands the right to explore this separateness till it is confronted with its own creations.

But what matters now is the balance and proportion: for this miraculously beautiful world to not only endure but find its true wholeness and its true increase, enough living conscious beings must stand and step forward into the next stage of evolution by conscious means and conversions.

How to become aware, how to serve now, how to disengage from this mesh of human habits and the glue of collective hypnosis? The urgency of a silent uprising would seem to preclude the practice of any intensive individual sadhana: is there a recipe, a code, a basic process one can turn to, anywhere, in any context?
