unique quality, viz., of having the mind continuous with it from the original first Mind. This Mind is passing, and that is why, all our minds behave alike and all of us have developed also. All of us are fragments of One Supreme First Mind, and that First Mind which is really Cosmic in nature has been individuated, isolated and in some sense, insulated from other individuals, so that it is only thinking of itself and not about other people at all. It is contradictory, in one sense, it would like to absorb or even annihilate also. Now, there is mind and the unique quality of the mind is seen in its capacity to evolve to its lowest and the grossest form. Animals also have a mind; because they are also degradations of the mind, and yet, that mind is not conscious of its connection with the Ultimate. It is only at the level of man that he becomes conscious of its original connection or force of the First Mind.

The possibility for man is that he can have the continuous experience of the Ultimate First Mind to the grossest level. But that is possible only when you attain in full force the First Mind within you, and since there is a loss of that force, you find that the lowest levels forget though they are sustained by the original Force, which can draw the First Mind. So, Mind has to be used for this purpose. You cannot involve to your condition of the Divine and transcend unless you are able to use the mind that is given to you. Now, as a matter of fact, this is the struggle. Some people want you to become Amanaska, go beyond the Mind and destroy the Mind. If you destroy the mind, you destroy the instrument by which you
