INSPIRATION
Now whether inspiration comes from the Divine store-Bhandar, or the Base or from any other level, seems to be a vague question. If in reply I, in my turn, ask you from which layer you draw air for your breathing, you will not be able to answer it precisely. In fact a complete answer to this question may cover the whole philosophy of our system. In a word I may say that the drawing of inspiration, whether from the Base or from any other level, depends upon the personal capacity of the aspirant which can truly be judged only through practical observation. Perhaps the Vedas might offer some clue to it. But the numerous commentaries and interpretations put forth by men of learning have complicated things so hopelessly that it becomes very difficult to arrive at any definite conclusion. Consequently the final solution remains to be discovered. As a matter of fact it is only the life of practical effort that is required for a successful solution of the problem. Unfortunately people go on suggesting solutions without being able to achieve any. Perhaps nothing can be a greater absurdity than this.
