The only preparation necessary:

relinquish all possessions, material and mental.

seek nothing.

degree of success depends on true knowledge.

third:

first rap of love 

doubts and fears assail him

is it possible for man to merge himself entirely into Universal Love?

is it all 'thou' or impersonal 'that'

dying unto Self

when he discerns 'this' body instead of 'my' body

fourth

need for purging M of all grossness and baseness

purify my outer and inner Self, O divine

fifth

surrender of all actions .

His suffering becomes ACUTE if by any chance he forgets Him

consecrates body, M , spirit at his feet

sixth

feels a drop out of ocean when not one with Him...Lonely

Attendant miseries of separation.

Lure of distraction caused by the ephemeral things of the world gnaw upon his peace.

seventh

exhausted.

prays for Divine Love ..to steady him in his doubts

'That I may not falter, look upon me with tender love.'

eight

Then the veil of darkness begins to recede.

He walks in the grace of Light flowing from the Divine mount.

in meekness, most lowly he walks forward

so sweet is his experience as he realises his nearness to the 'unfolding of Bliss'

ninth

halo of purity.

walks with holy companions

sings 'rapture of realisation'

tenth

Ecstasy of Bliss

inexpressible.

soars to the peak of Bliss

long and arduous has been his ascent.

constant remembrance of God

acts of charity

purified of all dross

chastising himself of shortcomings in his devotion, remorse reproach towards shortcomings

Sees That alone, hears That alone, speaks of That alone, thinks of That alone

..........

The lowly one filled my heart with love entered therein as sweetness and taught ne the way of truth.

my dim sense of unreality wanes little by little as I draw nearer and nearer to you, your light 

soul not conscious of it's separateness. distinctions one and all  melt away

surrendering his life, thought, actions to God

The way to the freedom of the Spirit is through entire Self surrender.

.........

Self possessed . no ties binding them.

guided by their own Inner Light

..In his Will lie the true goal of life

relinquishing all that is false and unreal

...one who surrenders his will to His Will

desire indignation completely abandoned
