fiction or some such. It is at best a plane of consciousness qua man, and not an individual or a person aspiring for liberation. This, of course, leads us to the intellectual solution of the problems of the individual, the genus or universal or concept. Since in Yoga, as in life, we have to deal with individuals, the entire aspiration, growth and development or evolution belongs to individual men confronted with the basic problems of life - its misery, ignorance, bondage, recurrence and rebirth, materialization or grossness and so on. This does not mean that all individuals cannot aspire for, and attain, the highest state of divinization, though Sri Ram Chandra states that there can only be one supreme personality who directs the entire universe, and that there are indeed several levels or offices in the cosmic government. Probably the very notions of liberty, equality and fraternity undergo differentiations in connotation as the divinising process takes place. There could hardly be any annulment of their present meanings, and we may not be confronted with paradoxical counter meanings, as happens in the field of idealistic metaphysics and political practice.
The goal of man is verily the divine nature and attainment of utmost peace. It is truly Bliss and the Source of all bliss, truth and consciousness or awareness. It is beyond all description in terms of our human logic, nor could it be defined by means of our terms. It is transcendental to all our descrip-tions and definitions, but not to our most intimate immanental experiences, where one overcomes the ignorance and bondage and all limitations to free oneness with all Reality qua reality. It is the experience of the Essence of Being which is also the source of all existence, from the most subtle to the most gross, from the veriest homogeneity to the most prolific heterogeneity.
