The Grace is sure to be victorious one day.
January 18
I never impose my will on anybody. It is only when somebody asks me what is my will in order to obey it, that I say clearly what my will is. But afterwards if this same person shows displeasure or discomfort in obeying that will, I never insist upon it or use coercion. I leave each one free to do what one feels best.
January 21
The Divine's love is always with you and that is the only thing that never fails in life.
February 2
It is only by aspiration and prayer that ego can be overcome; a constant and sincere aspiration is always answered by the Divine.

Ignorance is a human general illness and nobody can escape it until one is united with the Divine.
February 9
Let the aspiration and love for the Divine conquer in you all desires and all difficulties.
February 14
The true path is surrender, complete, absolute, unconditioned surrender to the Divine.
If you give yourself entirely to the Divine without asking for anything in exchange, if you merge your consciousness in the Divine, it will put an end to your sufferings but the surrender must be total, unconditioned; un-bargaining and absolute, including all desires, your needs, your likings, your dislikings, your wishes, your wants, your wills, everything, everything that constitutes your small person and then you will find peace and your torments will come to an end.
February 17
Sufferings and difficulties are there for everybody until one has united consciously with the Divine.
So, the only thing to do is to be quiet and face what comes, good or bad, with patience and endurance Because all restlessness makes difficulties more difficult.
February 17
Let the Divine's Light, Love and Force save you from the clutches of the devil.
February 23
As I told you, the great secret to get rid of all nasty things and to remove the veil between you and the Divine, is Surrender, a total, complete and constant surrender, dismiss all bad thoughts and bad movements by surrender. This is the Victorious attitude and never fails.
And to have the strength to do it use my force and power that are always with you.
March 6
With the growth of the consciousness the need for sleep diminishes because the sleep becomes more quiet and more conscious, more restful and thus the number of hours of sleep can be diminished. But to diminish the sleep by force so long as one feels sleepy is not good because it strains the nerves and makes them restless.
March 7 I never look at mistakes and faults. I only look at the soul, the psychic being, for it to come to the surface and take lead of the whole being.
The psychic being is your true self and by opening your exterior being to it you will be able to receive the Divine's help and to conquer.
March 12
Sooner or later the Truth is bound to prevail.
March 21
There is only one Truth as there is only-one Divine.

Keep sheltered in my arms they will protect you against everything.
Open to my help, it will never fail you.
April 13 It is these adverse forces of ignorance, unconsciousness and division which are making this world such a miserable place, full of injustice and suffering But the Divine is at work to overcome these forces and the Victory of the Divine is certain whatever time it may take.
Keep a living hope and faith. I want this Victory to come soon.
April 17
Do not let the mud of ugly thoughts and low feelings stain your consciousness and take you out of my protection.
April 18
Let the Truth be born in you; become conscious of your soul.
April 21 In fact, writing a word is nothing; the true help I am giving is the one I give silently, present or not present, and that work is most effective even when people do not feel it or acknowledge it.
April 22
Remain in my arms, enveloped by my love and blessings.
April 26
And as the higher cannot bow down to the lower, it is the lower that must surrender and give way to the higher.
May 28
Let the remembrance of the Truth be always with you.
June 10 I give order to those who are perfectly and totally surrendered, as these orders cannot be discussed or disobeyed.
To the others I show the Light and the Truth and give them advice when they ask for it, and they are always free to do what they think best for themselves.
As for my Grace, Love and Blessings, they are always over all, but each one avails himself of them according to his capacity, receptivity and surrender.

Sri Aurobindo's Answer
"Some people are truly greedy they are never satisfied; the more you give them, the more they ask and they would find it quite natural if the Divine were exclusively busy with them and nothing else."
December 4
I can tell you that there is in the world only one place where you can fulfil your aspiration and realise the Divine, it is here.
It is well understood that there are difficulties, everybody has difficulties, but nowhere else, as much as here, you can find the help to surmount these difficulties.
. . . .
I am here all right and not hiding myself It is the children who are too blind and unconscious to see. They must open their true eyes and then they will see they must wake up to the true consciousness and then they will understand.
. . . . If you do not feel my presence it must be that you received some bad thought or that you have had some feeling of doubt or disbelief, it is enough to veil your consciousness and to prevent you from feeling my Presence.
Let nothing disturb your faith and confidence and you will know that I am always with you.
. . . .
Patience, perseverance, endurance and a steady will are required for the Sadhana, and above all a complete trust in the Divine's Grace is quite indispensable.
. . . .
For the Grace there is nothing like 'worthy' or 'unworthy' and in all She does or says, there is always the same unchanging love and compassion.
Wednesday 1956
My help is always with you to get rid of the confusion and if you keep quiet you will feel it. . . . .
Keep faith and confidence, all will be all right. . . . .
Do not fear it is fear that helps that thing (adverse forces) to come do not doubt it is doubt that helps it to come do not expect it in any way-it is expectation that helps it to come.
Concentrate only on me and on the certitude of the coming Victory it is the most powerful arms to chase it for ever.
Keep courage and faith I am with you. . . . .
To lead the Divine Life does not depend on any exterior activity of circumstances whatever you do from the highest work to the most ordinary; you can lead the Divine Life if you are in the true consciousness and the right attitude. . . . . Have faith in the Divine Grace, in spite of everything it will lead you to your true goal the Divine.

This is a painting (of St. Anne) from Leonardo da Vinci; is it not a beautiful image of Divine Love and Compassion ? The Compassion that effaces all errors and wipes off all mistakes. ..

Jealousy is a deadly poison that is fatal to the soul.

The only thing that is important is your seeking and realising the Divine all the rest is zero.
July 6 It is when the contact with the psychic being is established that the heart feels this strange heaviness, the heaviness of all that is still in the Nature preventing the complete union with the soul and this heaviness brings always tears in the eyes but the tears are sweet and the heaviness itself is sweet if one keeps quiet and concentrated, turned inwardly with surrender and confidence.

December 27
There is no question of deserving and not deserving because the Divine Grace is Grace and does not depend on merit.
At each moment the Divine does what is the best for you. Because His purpose is to save you and liberate you from all trouble.
He cannot allow you to put an end to your life in an arbitrary way because death thus obtained means entering into a hell of endless suffering compared to which the suffocating feeling you are experiencing now could be called bliss. . . . . Courage ! hope ! faith ! at the end of the tunnel there is the Light, at the end of the ordeal there is the Victory. . . . .
It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. The Presence is the source of all Peace, all Joy, all Security. Find this Presence in yourself and all difficulties will disappear.
