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. . . . Once the world- conditions are ready the full descent [of the Supramental] 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.
