Progress within

The Power overhead is always busy progressing the Inner Self of the initiate ever since he or she comes under His care – although no progress is apparent to the initiate. Just as, say, a utensil has dirt stuck to it four inches thick. The utensil is being washed and say one inch of dirt is washed away from day to day as we stick to our practices, but the initiate is not conscious of the progress being made.

As regards the entering of the soul into the Brahmand unconsciously:

The Master can take the soul to the Brahmand and beyond first with the soul being quite unconscious about it; and then let the soul be conscious of the ascent on bringing it back to lower planes – so that the beauty of the lower planes may not entangle one’s progress.
