2O Evolution of Life and Form. 



is that each gradually develops that aspect of God 

 which belongs to it in the due sequence of evolution. 

 The Fifth is developing the aspect of Chit, Intelli-

 is but part of the fruitage of that evolution, of that 

 growth of intelligence which looks on the outer 

 world as not itself as the Not-Self and seeks to 

 study and understand it. The characteristic attri-

 races are even now to be reached by special methods, 

 by individuals who are willing to take the pains to 

 make the required sacrifices. That which we know 

 as Yoga is the method by which evolution is quick- 

 ened in the individual, and all the powers of the 

 Self, up to the threshold of divinity, may by it be 

 brought into manifestation in the man of the present. 

 That is why Yoga training was necessary for the 

 ancient scientist ; he must develop in himself the 

 three aspects of God, if he were to understand them 

 as manifested in the universe around him. 



Now, at our own stage of evolution, it is specially 

 the life of Brahma or the Brahma aspect of God 

 with which the human mind is coming into touch, 

 because the mind in man is the reflection of the uni-
