PART THREE
ELEMENTS OF YOGA Sincerity
Sincerity is the key of the divine doors.
Be sincere. Sincerity is the gate to Divinity.
Sincerity means to lift all the movements of the being to the level of the highest consciousness and realisation already attained. Sincerity exacts the unification and harmonisation of the whole being in all its parts and movements around the central Divine Will. 21 February 1930
To be sincere, all the parts of the being must be united in their aspiration for the Divine ― not that one part wants and others refuse or revolt. To be sincere in the aspiration to want the Divine for the Divine’s sake, not for fame or name or prestige or power or any satisfaction of vanity.
Be perfectly sincere in your consecration to the Divine’s work. This will assure you strength and success. Page ― 67 Be sincere and absolute in your consecration to the Divine and your life will become harmonious and beautiful.

To reach your spiritual goal, be sincere, that is to say, make of it the single purpose of your life. 3 June 1958 An uncompromising sincerity is the surest way to spiritual achievement. Do not pretend― be. Do not promise ― act. Do not dream ― realise.
