ENDURANCE Endurance: going to the very end of the effort without fatigue or relaxing. Endurance is the capacity of bearing without depression. Cheer up, all will be all right, if we know how to last and endure. To know and be able to bear and endure, undoubtedly produces a firm and fixed joy. The most important is a steady, quiet endurance that does not allow any upsetting or depression to interfere with your progress. The sincerity of the aspiration is the assurance of the victory. A quiet endurance is the sure way to success.  14 June 1954 * The things we cannot realise today we shall be able to realise tomorrow. The only

The Integral Yoga Three Conceptions of the World 1. Buddhist and Shankarite: The world is an illusion, a field of ignorance and suffering due to ignorance. The one thing to do is to get out of it as soon as possible and to disappear into the original Non-Existence or Non-Manifestation. 2. The Vedantic as very commonly understood: The world is essentially divine, for the Divine is omnipresent there. But its exterior expression is distorted, obscure, ignorant, perverted. The one thing to do is to become conscious of the inner Divine and remain fixed in that consciousness without troubling about the world; for this external world cannot change and will

The Ways of Working of the Lord The Divine's Grace is wonderful and almighty. And the ways of working of the Lord are full of a delightful sense of humour…. Be always ready to receive the Divine, for He may visit you at any moment. And if sometimes He makes you wait at the appointed meeting ― place, that is certainly no reason for you yourself to be late. 23 September 1956 * It is quite evident that for some reason or other ― or may be for no reason at all ― the Supreme has changed His mind about it. 25 January 1958 * The Supreme must have changed His decision in order to try your faith and see if it depended on such an exte

"The Divine" and "Man" For those who are afraid of a word: This is what we mean by “Divine'': all the knowledge we have to acquire, all the power we have to obtain, all the love we have to become, all the perfection we have to achieve, all the harmonious and progressive poise we have to manifest in light and joy, all the new and unknown splendours that have to be realised. 7 September 1952 * The Divine is indeed what you expect of Him in your deepest aspiration. What is God? God is the perfection that we must aspire to realise. 8 November 1969 * The Divine is the perfection towards which we move. And if you like, I shall lead you to Him

NEVER WORRY ABOUT DIFFICULTIES   Never worry. Do with sincerity all you do and leave the results to the Divine's care. Let us live each day without anxiety. Why worry beforehand about something that will probably never happen? Anxiety is a lack of confidence in the Divine's Grace, the unmistakable sign that the consecration is not complete and perfect. Don't foresee difficulties ― it does not help to surmount them and helps them to come.  5 August 1932 * It is better not to worry about progress, because worrying only hinders the advance. It is better to open in all trust and simplicity to the divine help and to have faith in the V

-02_The Divine Is with You .htm The Divine Is with You  Never forget that you are not alone. The Divine is with you helping and guiding you. He is the companion who never fails, the friend whose love comforts and strengthens. The more you feel lonely, the more you are ready to perceive His luminous Presence. Have faith and He will do everything for you. 27 September 1951 * It is in the Divine that we shall always find all that we need. 17 April 1954 * Alone the Divine can give us a perfect safety. 18 April 1954 * Page ― 9 Let the Divine Consciousness be the leading power in your life. 22 April 1954 * Let the Divine Presence be always with yo

CERTITUDE We must march on with the quiet certitude that what has to be done will be done.  6 July 1954 * Certitude: assured and calm it never argues. Certitude of victory: it is not noisy but it is sure. THE DIVINE GRACE The Supreme has sent his Grace into the world to save it. It is the Divine Grace that must be prayed for ― if justice were to manifest, very few would be those who could stand in front of it. Justice is the strict logical determinism of the movements of Universal Nature. Illnesses are this determinism applied to the material body. The medical mind, basing itself upon this ineluctable Justice,

PART FOUR DIFFICULTIES Circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES: RESULTS, NOT CAUSES It is an error or superstition to believe that an external thing or circumstance can be the cause of anything. All things and circumstances are the accompanying results of a Force that acts from behind the veil. The Force acts and each thing reacts according to its own nature. One must not take consequences for causes. Never take physical happenings at their face value. They are always a clumsy attempt to express something else, the true thing which escapes your superficial understanding. Do not mind the apparent contradictions. There is a truth to be fo

FAITH IN THE DIVINE GRACE AND HELP Have a steady faith in the divine Grace. Continue to have full faith in the Divine's Grace, Will and Action and all will be all right.  6 November 1934 * All depends on the intensity of the faith and the firmness of the right attitude.  30 May 1935 * The Grace is always with you; concentrate in your heart with a silent mind and you are sure also to receive the guidance and the help you aspire for. The Grace and the help are always there for all who aspire for them and their power is limitless when received with faith and confidence. The Grace is always there ready to act but you must le

Aspects of Sadhana Divine Mother, I wish to get light on the following points. 1. Have I the capacity and are there potentialities in me to follow this path? This is not the question, the question is whether you have the necessary aspiration, determination and perseverance and whether you can by the intensity and persistence of your aspiration make all the parts of your being answer to the call and become one in the consecration. 2. How should I continue my practice (sadhana) after returning home? Quiet yourself and in the quiet see and feel the Mother.¹ 3. How can I meditate? What is meant by opening? Where should I open? An
