Consciousness


As we progress and awaken to the soul in us and things, we shall realise that there is a consciousness also in the plant, in the metal, in the atom, in electricity, in everything that belongs to physical nature; we shall find even that is not really in all respects a lower or more limited mode than the mental, on the contrary it is in many ‘inanimate’ forms more intense, rapid, poignant, though less evolved towards the surface.

[The Synthesis of Yoga, p-370-71]

Faith



Faith is an intuition, an intuition not only waiting for experience to justify it, but leading towards experience.

[Letters on Yoga, p-166]
