And the natural evolution of man will reveal that in his life the incidence of a force much vaster and superior to himself takes its hand. This is the beginning of spirituality. The self confronts its own deepest urge to be this urge towards the ultimate reality without which its own future is impossible and untenable.
This is the call to knowledge of the self, to fulfilment, toperfection,toultimatehappinessand bliss,andabove all to the feeling and realisation of reality of oneself which seemstobeslippingaway initsownoriginalnature.
