Question: Guru, when you talk of mineral, plant, human and divine consciousness what exactly do these terms mean?

Sri Chinmoy: In mineral consciousness there is practically no light and in plant consciousness there is a streak of light. In human consciousness there is or there can be limited light, which again is capable of housing unlimited light. Finally the divine Consciousness embodies boundless, infinite Light.
