13. Opposition of the Hostile Forces
Fragment ID: 4019
The things enumerated are not causes of the attacks, but
they are the occasion, the weakness in the sadhaks that allows them when they
could very well be dismissed. The hostile forces are there in the world to
maintain the Ignorance – they were there in the sadhana, because they had the
right to test the sincerity of the sadhaks in their power and will to cleave to
the Divine and overcome all difficulties. But this is only so long as the higher
Light has not descended into the physical; now it is descending, it is
sufficiently there for anyone to receive it more and more fully,
so that the way becomes smooth and open, a progressive development and not a
struggle.
