Nevertheless, it is possible to become one with the ocean through selfless concentration, and it is also possible to become as one with Truth by selfless concentration. That light which falls below the mind-mesh depends upon the personality's degree of awakening. To increase the light it is necessary to develop the personality, and for this there is a definite spiritual method, the chief point of which is the education of the heart, which is not so much an education but an increase in life's experience. The more one can imbibe of life itself, the more one can appreciate Truth, and when one reaches that stage when one feels at one with the whole stream of life, one is not far from the goal.
