=How to Transform the Lower Vital?=

There is only one way of escape from this siege of the lower vital nature. It is the entire rejection of all egoistic vital demand, claim and desire and the replacement of the dissatisfied vital urge by the purity of psychic aspiration. Not the satisfaction of these vital clamours nor, either, an ascetic retirement is the true solution, but the surrender of the vital being to the Divine and a single-minded consecration to the supreme Truth into which desire and demand cannot enter. For the nature of the supreme Truth is Light and Ananda, and where desire and demand are there can be no Ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p31</ref>

We lose the One for whom our lives were made.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/33/the-adoration-of-the-divine-mother#p62</ref>

The lower vital is a very obscure plane and it can be fully opened with advantage only when the other planes above it have been thrown wide to light and knowledge. One who concentrates on the lower vital without that higher preparation and without knowledge is likely to fall into many confusions. This does not mean that experiences of this plane may not come earlier or even at the beginning; they do come of themselves, but they must not be given too large a place. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p40</ref>
