(RV 1.10.2)

As one mounts peak after peak, there becomes clear the much that
has still to be done.
The
spiritual Quest is an endless journey. Man has perforce to set for
himself an immediate goal, but that is not the terminus. Each goal
reached opens the way to a further goal and the path thus leads on
from the finite to the infinite. The human mind is limited and apt
to conceive of limited horizons. But the Reality is boundless and
as one ascends the heights of the Being in one’s consciousness,
one finds larger and larger expanses coming into view, calling for
greater and greater spurts of adventure. Thus above the normal
reasoning mind, there are heights of ideative mind, the still
purer higher mind, the intuitive mind, the illumined mind and so
on rising up to the borders of the Truth-mind. Each height is to
be scaled, its consciousness organized and normalized in oneself
before one climbs to the next.
