THE LIFE DIVINE

My philosophy was formed first by study of the Upanishads
and the Gita; the Veda came later. They were the basis of
my first practice of Yoga; I tried to realise what I read in my
spiritual experience and succeeded; in fact I was never satisfied
till experience came and it was on this experience that later on
I founded my philosophy. . . . The other source of my philosophy
was the knowledge that flowed from above when I sat in
meditation, especially from the level of the HigherMind when
I reached that level. . . .
