(RV
1.77.2)
tam-ū namobhir-ā kŗņudhvam,
Him verily form in you by your surrenderings.
As long as man consents to be dominated by his ego he can only
confirm and prolong the rule of Ignorance and falsehood in
himself. He cannot go further on the stair of evolution. If,
however, he wants to grow into the consciousness of Truth and
Light, to build in himself the image of the Divine Being, he must
learn to give up his insistence on his egoistic claims and demands
and surrender to the Divine. And this surrender is not only to be
effected in his central part, but to be steadily worked out on all
levels of his being, in all parts. There has to be many
surrenderings—simultaneous and successive—of the lower to the
Higher before the Higher can settle and organize itself in his
being.
