\nDon’t forget what I have said many times. Do your
\nsadhana in a calm and quiet manner without getting agitated.
\nThen everything will slowly come right. Crying aloud is no
\ngood. Call upon the Mother calmly. Open yourself to Her.
\nThe more quiet becomes the vital the more steadily goes on
\nthe sadhana without swerving. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n* <\/font><\/p>\n

\n*    * <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSitting calm and quiet remember the Mother and open
\nyourself to her. This is the rule of meditation. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/font><\/p>\n

\n*   *<\/font><\/p>\n

\nTo do both is best. If it were possible to do sadhana from a
\ndistance, that would be the best, but that cannot always be
\ndone. But the fact is that you have to do your sadhana by
\ncreating a place of safety or a fort in the psychic\u2014that is to
\nsay, rely on the Mother calmly and quietly without getting
\nrestless, say cheerfully that what she says is right. These
\nsmall imperfections are a greater obstacle than big ones. But
\nthey have to be slowly brought out and imperfections turned
\ninto perfections. This cannot be done all at once. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-424 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nSo, it is not good to feel sorry and be impatient. The
\nMother’s Force will gradually do everything. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n* <\/font><\/p>\n

\n*   * <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe straight road to truth is open in the heart. Whatever is
\noffered goes up to the Mother and gets merged in her Truth
\nand becomes all truth. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/font><\/p>\n

\n*    *<\/font><\/p>\n

\nDon’t be afraid or upset. This is the way of Yoga. You
\nhave to get over the dark state; you have to remain quiet
\neven in darkness.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/font><\/p>\n

\n*   * <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe tapasya is this: to be quiet, to call upon the Mother, to
\nreject calmly restlessness, despair, desires and lusts. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n* <\/font><\/p>\n

\n*    * <\/font><\/p>\n

\nAt the outset peace, truth, etc., get established within,
\nthen they turn into action, <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n* <\/font><\/p>\n

\n*     * <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIt is not right to fear the void. It is into the void that the
\ndivine Peace comes down. The Mother is always within you. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-425 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nBut one cannot feel this unless truth, power and light are
\nthere. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/font><\/p>\n

\n*    *<\/font><\/p>\n

\nIs it not a big boast that all this has happened only for you ?
\n"I am very good, very powerful, everything is being done by
\nme, without me the Mother’s work cannot be done." This is
\nundeniably a kind of vanity. "I am worse than the worst.
\nEverything has come to a stand-still owing to my opposition.
\nGod cannot carry on his work." This is, in an opposite way,
\nanother sort of vanity. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n*<\/font><\/p>\n

\n*     *<\/font><\/p>\n

\nAlways remain quiet, calmly calling in the Mother’s
\nF6rce,
\nI and throwing aside all worry. <\/font><\/p>\n
