Letters of Sri Aurobindo
Volume II - Part 1
Fragment ID: 11108
There is a state in which the sadhak is conscious of the Divine Force working in him or of its results at least and does not 


obstruct its descent or its action by his own mental activities, vital restlessness or physical obscurity and inertia. That is openness to the Divine. Surrender is the best way of opening; but aspiration and quietness can do it up to a certain point so long as there is not the surrender.
