 <\/span><\/p>\n

An aspiration which is not mixed with any

It is to the sincerity
\nof your aspiration that the Love answers spontaneously. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let your aspiration leap
\nforward, pure and straight, towards the supreme consciousness which is all joy
\nand all beatitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

We must aspire with all

Prayer of Aspiration<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let us go to sleep with
\na prayer and wake with an aspiration for the New and Perfect Creation. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The urge of aspiration:
\nnothing is too high, nothing too far for its insatiable ardour<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

It never does any harm
\nto express an aspiration <\/span>―<\/span> that gives force to it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aspiration is always <\/i>good, and if some demand is mixed
\nup with it, you can be sure that it will not be granted. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go on aspiring and the
\nnecessary progress is bound to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nASPIRATION, CALLING AND PULLING<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To aspire and to call
\nfor help are quite indispensable. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mother, what is the difference between an ardent aspiration and a
\npulling down of force? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is the vital that pulls down and the
\npsychic that aspires. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

There is certainly a
\ngreat difference between calling and pulling <\/span>―<\/span> you
\ncan and must always call for help and the rest <\/span>―<\/span> the
\nanswer will be proportionate to your capacity of reception and assimilation.
\nPulling is a selfish movement that may bring down forces quite disproportionate
\nto your capacities and thus are harmful. <\/span> <\/p>\n
