time,
the courage, the endurance and the
perseverance
that are demanded. But all this is needed.
And above all, above all, never lose heart,
be ready to begin the same thing again ten
times,
twenty times, a hundred times - until it is
really done.

matter

Keep your aspiration strong and

sincere
and call in the Divine in each

and at each moment for support
and in all
that you feel keep yourself open
to us.
That is the easiest way to the
Divine.

The time for your turning to the

spiritual
life depends upon your own
aspiration.
A sincere aspiration brings
always its response,
and if there is continuity in the
will,
the result cannot fail.
.

We can, simply by a sincere

aspiration, open
a sealed door in us and find
that Something
which will change the whole
significance of life,
reply to all our questions, solve
all
our problems and lead us to the
perfection

One has always something

to learn and
a progress to make,
andineach circumstance
we can find the occasion

the lesson and making the
progress

your aspiration and your
trust and

make it more perfect.
God never takes His
works seriously;
therefore one looks out
on this wonderful
Universe.

Whatever the
appearance we must
bear,
Whatever our strong ills
and present fate,
When nothing we can
see but drift and bale,
A mighty Guidance leads
us still through all.

If one has a fundamental

sincerity,
a will to go through in
spite of
all things and readiness
to be candid,
that is the best security
in the sadhana.
Sri Aurobindo

The first indispensable

condition to prepare
ourselves
to receive the new
consciousness is a true
and
spontaneous humility
which makes us feel

Turn to Him and the
emptiness will go.

having
which can be made use of for
a living delight
and put out into

capable of regarding life with a smile
and remaining in peace whatever the
external circumstances.
