\nTHE DIVINE AND THE HOSTILE POWERS<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nI. THE DIVINE BEINGS <\/font><\/p>\n

\nII. THE HOSTILE FORCES<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n <\/p>\n

\nI. THE DIVINE BEINGS<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe Existence of Gods<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nOF course, the gods exist\u2014that is to say, there are
\nPowers that stand above the world and transmit
\nthe divine workings. It is the physical mind which
\nbelieves only what is physical that denies them.
\nThere are also beings of other worlds\u2014gods and
\netc. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Gods and the Divine<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE gods are Personalities or Powers put forth by the Divine\u2014they are therefore in fact limited
\nEmanations, although the full Divine is behind
\neach of them.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-341 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Forms of Gods<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE overmind is the world of the gods and the
\ngods are not merely powers but have forms also.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n28-6-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Luminous Body of Higher Beings<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is a luminous body spoken of in the Veda as
\npossessed by the beings of the higher planes. It is, <\/i>supposed by certain schools of Yoga in the East
\nand the West that in the final transformation on earth man will develop a body
\nhaving these qualities.
\nIt was called the "Corps Glorieux"\u2014"body of
\nglory"\u2014by the Mother’s first spiritual instructor.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n25-6-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Enjoyments of Gods<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE Gods have their own enjoyments though
\nthey may not be of a material character. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-342 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Brahma\u2014Vishnu<\/i>\u2014Shiva<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nBRAHMA, Vishnu, Shiva are only three Powers and
\nPersonalities of the One Cosmic Godhead.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n14-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Brahma<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nBRAHMA is the Power of the Divine that stands
\nbehind formation and creation.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Vishnu<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nAs for Vishnu being the creator, all the three gods
\nare often spoken of as creating the universe\u2014even
\nShiva who is by tradition the Destroyer.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n11-3-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-343 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Shiva and Overmind<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\n <\/i>THERE is no particular connection between Shiva  and the Overmind\u2014the Overmind is the higher
\nstation of all the Gods. It is better not to call it
\nthe Overmind until the action of it is clear and
\nthere can be no mistake.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n25-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Gods in the Overmind<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nYES, that is the Overmind vision\u2014in the Overmind the Gods are still separated existences.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n14-6-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Adya Shakti<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nADYA SHAKTI is the original Shakti, therefore, the
\nhighest form of the Mother. Only she manifests
\nin a different way according to the plane on which
\none sees her.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n22-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-344 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Many forms of the One Mother<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHERE are not many Mothers, there is One in
\nmany forms. The transcendental is only one aspect
\nof the Mother. I don’t know what is meant by the
\nembodied aspect of the transcendental Mother.
\nThere is the embodied aspect of the One Mother
\n\u2014what she manifests through it depends on herself.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n7-7-1936 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Mahakali and Kali<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nMAHAKALI and Kali are not the same. Kali is a
\nlesser form, Mahakali in the higher planes appears usually with the golden colour. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Durga<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE lion with Durga on it is the symbol of the
\nDivine Consciousness acting through a divinised physical-vital and
\nvital-emotional force.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNovember 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-345 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>World of Parvati-Shankara<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is probably the realm of the dynamic creative
\nspirit from the highest mental plane which you
\nsaw as the world of Parvati-Shankara. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Image of Sri Krishna<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nIT is, I suppose, the image of Sri Krishna as Lord
\nof the divine love and ananda\u2014and his flute calls
\nthe physical being to awake out of the attachments
\nof the physical world and turn to that love and
\nananda.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSeptember 1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Ganesha and Kartikeya<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nGANESHA is the Power that removes obstacles by
\nthe force of Knowledge; Kartikeya represents victory over the hostile Powers. Of course, the names
\ngiven are human, but the gods exist.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n21-3-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-346 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Ganesha<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nGANESHA (among other things) is the Devata of
\nspiritual Knowledge\u2014so, as you are getting this
\nKnowledge you saw yourself in this form identified
\nwith Ganesha.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n22-9-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Ganesha Power<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPROBABLY you had a symbolic vision of the Ganesha
\npower, the remover of obstacles, receiving strength
\nfrom the Mother\u2014because the work of the Power  was going on in you, you had the sense of identification  with Ganesha.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n10-4-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Kartikeya and the Peacock<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE peacock is the bird of Victory and Kartikeya
\nthe leader of the divine forces.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nII<\/a>. THE HOSTILE FORCES<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTwo Kinds of Asuras<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHERE are two kinds of Asuras\u2014one kind were
\ndivine in their origin but have fallen from their
\ndivinity by self-will and opposition to the intention
\nof the Divine: they are spoken of in the Hindu
\nscriptures as the former or earlier gods; these can be
\nconverted and their conversion is indeed necessary
\nfor the ultimate purposes of the universe. But the
\nordinary Asura is not of this character, is not an evolutionary but a typal being and represents a
\nfixed principle of the creation which does not
\nevolve or change and is not intended to do so.
\nThese Asuras, as also the other hostile beings,
\nRakshasas, Pisachas and others resemble the devils
\nof the Christian tradition and oppose the divine
\nintention and the evolutionary purpose in the
\nhuman being: they don’t change the purpose in
\nthem for which they exist which is evil, but have
\nto be destroyed like the evil. The Asura has no
\nsoul, no psychic being which has to evolve to a
\nhigher state; he has only an ego and usually a very
\npowerful ego; he has a mind, sometimes even a
\nhighly intellectualised mind; but the basis of his
\nthinking and feeling is vital and not mental, at <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-348 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nthe service of his desire and not of truth. He is a
\nformation assumed by the life-principle for a particular kind of work and not a divine formation or a
\nsoul. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n14-6-1950 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Transformation of Evil Forces<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE evil forces are perversions of the Truth by the
\nIgnorance\u2014in any complete transformation they must disappear and the Truth
\nbehind them be delivered. In this way they can be said to be transformed by destruction. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nOctober 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Difficulty of Transforming Asuras<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is the movements of the lower nature that get
\npurified. The Asuras are not so easily transformed.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n7-5-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-349 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Ordinary Nature-Forces and Hostile Forces<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHEY are not hostile forces, they are simply the forces
\nof the ordinary Nature. The hostile forces are those
\nwhich try to pervert everything and are in revolt
\nagainst the Divine and opposed to the Yoga.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNature-forces are conscious forces\u2014they can very
\nwell combine all that is necessary for an action or
\na purpose and when one means fails, take another.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n11-2-1937 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Object of Hostile Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nHOSTILE forces attack every sadhaka; some are
\nconscious of it, others are not. Their object is either
\nto influence the person or to use him or to spoil
\nhis sadhana or the work or any other motive of the
\nkind. Their object is not to test, but their attack may
\nbe used by the guiding power as a test.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n29-5-1930 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-350 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Attacks <\/b> of Evil Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nEVIL forces can always attack in moments of unconsciousness or half-consciousness or through the
\nsubconscient or external physical\u2014so long as all
\nis not supramentally transformed. Only if the
\nforce is there, they can at once be pushed back.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n16-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Cause for Hostile Attacks<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE hostile forces do not need a cause for attacking
\n\u2014they attack whenever and whoever they can. What
\none has to see is that nothing responds or admits
\nthem.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n10-2-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Throwing off the Attacks<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHERE are no sadhakas who are never attacked by
\nwrong forces\u2014but if one has a complete faith and self-consecration, one can
\nthrow off the attack without too much difficulty. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-351 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Intention of Hostile Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNATURALLY, the hostile forces are always on the
\nwatch to rob what they can of the things received
\nby the sadhaka,\u2014not that they profit by them but
\nthey prevent them from being used to build up the
\nDivine in life.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n16-4-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Progress and Adverse Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nA PROGRESS made often stirs the adverse forces to
\nactivity, they want to diminish its effect as much as
\npossible. When you get a decisive experience of this
\nkind, you should remain concentrated and assimilate it\u2014avoiding self-dispersion and all externalising
\nof the consciousness. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n17-10-1930 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-352 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Tests in Sadhana<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nYOUR description is too vague. From what you write
\nit may just as well be the reaction that frequently  follows an experience; the adverse force coming in
\nwith a contrary movement. Tests come sometimes
\nfrom the hostile forces, sometimes in the course of
\nNature. I suppose they must be necessary, since
\nthey always come in sadhana. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n16-9-1936 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Two Ways of Removing Imperfections\u2014<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\nStopping of
\nExperience by Hostile Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nEITHER the higher consciousness has to descend into
\nthe vital and physical or else by the psychic consciousness coming forward one has to detect whatever
\nimperfection is in the vital and reject it. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThere are always hostile forces that try to stop or
\nbreak the experience. If they come in, it is a sign
\nthat there is something in the being\u2014vital or physical
\n\u2014that either responds or is too inert to oppose. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n31-8-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-353 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Hostile Forces in Sadhana<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n THE things enumerated are not causes of the attacks,  but they are the occasion, the weakness in the sadhaks
\nthat allows them when they could very well be dismissed. The hostile forces are there in the world to
\nmaintain the Ignorance\u2014they were there in the
\nsadhana, because they had the right to test the
\nsincerity of the sadhaks in their power and will to
\ncleave to the Divine and overcome all difficulties.
\nBut this is only so long as the higher Light has not
\ndescended into the physical; now it is descending,
\nit is sufficiently there for anyone to receive it more
\nand more fully, so that the way becomes smooth and
\nopen, a progressive development and not a struggle.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n10-11-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nYou are right. The hostile forces, their attacks, their
\nsuggestions ought now to be superannuated, out of
\ndate, out of place here in this sadhana. If somebody
\nwould realise that and fulfil it in his sadhana, the
\nothers might perhaps get strength to follow. At
\npresent these things are still here because the sadhaks
\nopen themselves to them out of habit, out of desire,
\nout of attraction for the drama of the vital, out of
\nfear, out of passive response and unresisting inertia.
\nBut there is no real necessity for them any longer or <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-354 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\ntrue justification for their presence here,\u2014the outer
\nworld is a different matter. The sadhana could very
\nwell go on and should go on as an unfolding, a natural falling away of defects and difficulties, a coming of greater and greater light and power and transformation.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n8-11-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Lowering of Consciousness and Hostile attacks<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nYou need not be upset about the matter; it is sufficient if you note movements like these and are vigilant that they should find no ground in you again.
\nThe cause is probably to be found in the contact with the outside world renewing some possibilities
\nof the old Adam in you. When there is some lowering or diminution of the
\nconsciousness or some impairing of it at one place or another, the Adversary\u2014or
\nthe Censor\u2014who is always on the watch presses
\nwith all his might wherever there is a weak point
\nlying covered from your own view, and suddenly a
\nwrong movement leaps up with unexpected force.
\nBecome conscious and cast out the possibility of its
\nrenewal, that is all that is to be done.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n25-5-1930 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-355 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Rejection of Hostile Suggestions<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHERE has been progress in all these parts, but they
\nseem to be subject still to a response to the suggestions
\nof the hostile forces. Everybody gets these suggestions, but they ought not to be allowed to enter
\ninside, especially in the heart, or to be accepted by
\nthe vital. Evidently, they enter through the physical
\nmind (from the throat upwards means that) and
\naffect the surface vital and emotional being. You
\nmust get the power to reject them from there by a
\nconstant and steady denial and refusal of their suggestions. So long as anything in you says "yes" or
\naccepts, there is always the possibility of a return.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n23-12-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Habitual Response to Adverse Forces<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nAs I have said, the response of the physical mind or
\nvital to these forces is a habit. You get upset as soon as they touch either and
\nlose control over yourself.
\nThe concentration in the heart is the way to get rid
\nof them, but there must also be a detachment of the
\nconsciousness so that it can stand back from the
\nattack and feel separate from it. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-356 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Formations of Vital Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nWHEN the vital forces or beings throw an influence,
\nthey give it certain forms of thought, action and put
\nthem in the minds and vital of people so that they
\nfeel, think, act and speak in a particular way.
\nWhoever opens to their influence acts according
\nto this formation, perhaps with variations due to
\nhis own vital temperament.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n4-9-1937 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Way to Meet Hostile Forces<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHEY (hostile forces) come because they were
\nfreely permitted in the past\u2014so they want to renew
\nand continue their action. An entire rejection and
\na complete turning to the Divine are the way to
\nmeet them. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-357 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Inadvisability of Concern about Hostile Forces<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nIT is better not to trouble about the hostile forces. Keep your aspiration strong and sincere and call
\nin the Divine in each thing and at each moment for
\nsupport and in all that you feel keep yourself open
\nto us. That is the easiest way to the Divine. If
\nyou begin to concern yourself about the hostile
\nforces, you will only make the path more difficult.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n19-7-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Possession by Hostile Power\u2014Action of Divine Force<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nIT is evident from your description that it was a
\nvital force trying to take violent possession of the
\nbody. Nothing can be more dangerous than to
\nallow this kind of loss of control and intrusion of
\nan alien influence. In your present condition of
\nignorance, the vital being not yet sufficiently open,
\nthe psychic not yet sufficiently awake, a hostile
\npower can easily intrude and pass itself off as the
\nDivine Force. Remember that no personality and
\nno power is to be allowed to possess you. The
\nDivine Force will not act in this way; it will work first to purify, to widen
\nand enlighten the consciousness, to open it to Light and Truth, to awake
\nthe heart and the psychic being. Only afterwards <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-358 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nwill it take gradual and quiet control through a
\npure and conscious surrender. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nYou must also understand that there is only one
\nPower at work and neither you nor he nor anybody else matters. Let each one open himself to the
\nworkings of that Power in him and let there be
\nno attempt at forming a body of sadhaks with
\nsomebody leading or intervening between the one
\nPower and the sadhaks.  <\/font><\/p>\n

\n9-10-1927 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Hostile Attack in Sleep\u2014Need of Fearlessness
\nin Sadhana<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is evident that C’s experience was only what is
\ncalled a nightmare\u2014an attack in sleep from some
\nforce of the vital world, to which he probably
\nopened himself in some way, it may be by
\nanswering to the man from the street who carried
\nthe worst vital atmosphere around him. The figure of the woman was only a form
\ngiven by his subconscient mind to this force. These forces are
\naround everywhere, not only in one particular room
\nor house, and if one opens the door to them, they <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-359 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\ncome in wherever you are. It would have no
\nimportance but for the nervous reaction of irrational
\nterror indulged in by C. One who wants to do
\nsadhana has no business to indulge in such panics;  <\/b>it is a weakness incompatible with the demands of
\nthe Yoga and, if one cannot throw it aside, it is  safer not to try the Yoga.<\/font><\/p>\n
