07. Transformation of the Vital

Fragment ID: 3170

Sensitiveness is one of the most persistent obstacles of many sadhaks. There are two remedies for it – the psychic’s confidence in the Mother and the surrender that goes with it, that is, “whatever she wills is best for me”, and the vastness which you feel now; – it is the wideness of the true self, of the true mental, vital, physical being also, from which such things fall off like dust, for they are of no importance to it whatever.

It is the one thing to do, to get permanently into the wideness, peace and silence and let the ego dissolve into it and the attachments fall away.
