Kirpal Singh from the Crown of life

 "The soul is always following the lead of the mind,

the mind that of the senses, and the senses
that of the sense-objects, with the result that
the soul, by constant association with the mind
and the senses for ages upon ages, has completely lost its own individual (undivided)
identity and has for all practical purposes
become identified with the mind. It is this veil
of ignorance which has come in between the
soul and the Over-soul that has to be removed to
enable the soul to come into its own, to real-ize
its inherent nature and then to seek its real home
and gain life eternal."
