Each movement of consciousness must flow with the current of evolution. Each step of life must be considered as inseparable from self-improvement. A form that has congealed can be duplicated, but in the current, no wave can be duplicated.
Sleep or vigilance, labor or rest, motion or repose, all carry us equally toward the fulfillment of life’s plan. “It is like fallen leaves,” say the timid. “It is like seeds for the sowing,” say the wise. “It is like arrows of light,” say the daring.
Whosoever is set affright by the roar of the torrent is not yet born in the spirit. Who soars on the wave may think of the far-off worlds. (AY (opens in new tab), 36)
