 point of impulsion (ksobha). The worlds and planes of being or of manifestation appear to come out of that primary source in succession. One may call this the descent into manifestation (pravrtti), and all possess not only the Original ground but also the impulsion. Thus, subjectively, the individual particles and monads seek the substance of being in rest or pace, while at the same time they are struggling onward to manifest further possibilities of organic unity immanent in them - the ultimate solidity that almost annihilates all movement whilst preserving the Peace which is a mere reflection of the Original. The pull from the Centre remains always as the one inextinguishable impulse to return to the Source connecting all with it. This pull cannot be resisted; it has to fulfill itself by returning through all the various processes through which it had passed. From the inorganic it has to move towards the organic and then to the supra-organic and spiritual being. As is the pravrtti so too is the nivrtti. Evolution is a movement back to the source, in the modern language of moving from materialistic homogeneity to organic and supra-organic heterogeneity of original radiating fulguration. The return or ascent in evolution is not built on novelty, but is a renewal of the supra-organic that had slumbered in the inorganic creation.
The truth of experience is, in its highest condition, beyond experience itself. The transcendence of Reality to experience is such that many empiricists would deny it. But the Infinite is something that goes beyond the experiences of the most advanced consciousness itself. The evidence of the being or reality of the Transcendent lies in itself rather than in consciousness which appears to be the second order Reality. This fact becomes an Experience that reaches beyond itself, and gives the impression of endlessness or infinity (anantatva). This Transcendent is not, however, a nothing or mere Zero, though according to some it may be called so. The truly transcendent is Transcendent to all consciousness, and as such, capable of bringing into being consciousness of all levels and grades.
The Reality thus becomes the very spirit of existence and consciousness, and verily the source and experience of delight or Ananda.
The permeating nature of Reality is such that it is the meaning and soul of all things. All things live and move and have their being in It without fully
