It is its admission that, even in this much fragmented existence, there is beyond itself and behind that which is not its own egoistic person, something greater and completer, a diviner All which demands from it subordination and service.” (Sri Aurobindo, The Synthesis of Yoga, SABCL, Vol. 20, p. 98)
