(With its birth the mind will understand
that it is only an intermediary and not an end in itself)
Sincerity means more than mere honesty. It means that
you mean what you say, feel what you profess, are earnest in your will. As the
sadhak aspires to be an instrument of the Divine and one with the Divine,
sincerity in him means that he is really in earnest in his aspiration and
refuses all other will or impulse except the Divine's.
- Sri Aurobindo
True sincerity consists in following the way because you cannot do otherwise, in consecrating yourself to the divine life because you cannot do otherwise, in striving to transform your being and emerge into the Light because you cannot do otherwise, because it is the very reason for which you live.
