13. Opposition of the Hostile Forces
The mere intensity of the force does not show that it is
a bad power; the Divine Force often works with a great intensity. Everything
depends on the nature of the force and its working: 
what does it do, what seems to be its purpose? If it works to purify or open the
system, or brings with it light or peace, or prepares the change of the thought,
ideas, feelings, character in the sense of a turning towards a higher
consciousness, then it is the right force. If it is dark or obscure or perturbs
the being with rajasic or egoistic suggestions or excites the lower nature, then
it is an adverse force.
