" There comes a stage, whether in meditation or in the ordinary daily experience of life, at which he has to cross over from doing, trying, and managing things by his own self alone and when he can let go and open himself to the higher force--when he can submit his ego to its ordinances, its commands, or to its whispers. "

― Paul Brunton , Advanced Contemplation: The Peace Within You (The Notebooks of Paul Brunton, #15)
