an organism, and is dynamic in nature, it becomes necessary to deal with the whole of the material realm in terms of the organic conception. This biological view of reality reveals the important principle of translation or transformation of energy both in the ascent and the descent, and how their integration is also achieved by a third force. It is this concept of the organic that leads further to the evolution or subtle development of the mental and the supramental order of consciousness or energy which is such as to make for awareness, imagination, intuition, and the desire and the seeking to go beyond the body itself. True religious cognition develops only when desire for existence beyond the body occurs - desire for the growth beyond the conditions and limitations of the material and vital bodies. Sometimes the desire is known to be the activity of the mind, but even this is transcended when one becomes aware of the cosmic desires or universal truths.
Such being the case, the psychology that limits itself to human activity or reactivity, and the imagination which is riveted to practical purposes of survival and continuance in the human body, are very limited ones, if not truncated ones. The spiritual, psychic endeavour transcends these boundaries and seeks to know man, or the ego, as a universal or super- universal reality, amenable to direct intuition of the Ultimate Reality.
