Do you know what the flower which we have
called "Successful Future" signifies when given to
you? It signifies the hope - nay, even the promise
- that you will participate in the descent of the
supramental world. For that descent will be the
successful consummation of our work, a descent of
which the full glory has not yet been or else the
whole face of life would have been different. By
slow degrees the Supramental is exerting its
influence, now one part of the being and now
another feels the embrace or the touch of its
divinity; but when it comes down in all its
self-existent power, a supreme radical change will
seize the whole nature. We are moving nearer and
nearer the hour of its complete triumph. Once the
world-conditions are ready the full descent will
take place carrying everything before it. Its
presence will be unmistakable, its force will
brook no resistance, doubts and difficulties will
not torture you any longer. For the Divine will
stand manifest - unveiled in its total perfection.
I do not, however, mean to say that the whole
world will at once feel its presence or be
transformed, but I do mean that a part of humanity
will know and participate in its descent - say,
this little world of ours here. From there the
transfiguring grace will most effectively radiate.
And, fortunately for the aspirants, that
successful future will materialise for them in
spite of all the obstacles set in its way by
unregenerate human nature!
