BALANCED EXISTENCE & STAGES OF PROGRESS
I had the occasion to talk earlier about the two lines of action, one - the Divine line and the one which is parallel to it, the line of Humanity. We had occasion to observe that unless our heart which may be perhaps dissected into two and then one is the upper heart and the other is the lower and observe, most of us tend to live in the lower level. I also said it is necessary to move on to upper portion of the Heart. This is nothing new. Most of us know all these concepts, the crudest form of explaining this is the Jivatma and then the Antaratma. The Jivatma is the lower self and the Antaratma is the upper self and when you tend to obey or yield to the Antaratma, you start progressing in spirituality. On the other hand if you go on yielding to the Jivatma you will end up as Jivi, another existence, another living existence nothing more than that. I am not going into the details of whether one should be at a Jivatma or at the Antaratma level. But one thing everybody has to grant is the tyranny of the Jivatma over us. The Antaratma is supressed most of the time.
