today's passage - sri aurobindo

for me this one passage sums up everything.

when we have passed beyond knowings, then we shall have knowledge;
reason was the helper, reason is the bar.
when we have passed beyond willings, then we shall have power;
effort was the helper, effort is the bar.
when we have passed beyond enjoyings, then we shall have bliss;
desire was the helper, desire is the bar.
when we have passed beyond individualizing, we shall be real persons;
ego was the helper, ego is the bar.
when we have passed beyond humanity, then we shall be man;
animal was the helper, animal is the bar.
