Detachment, silence, inner peace are certainly indispensable for the spiritual progress – a quiet peace-filled detachment. In that peace the Force must do its work. Attacks of confusion, pains etc. – the one thing to arrive at is to be able to stand back from them, to feel detachment from them, separate and call down the Force to act. Whenever one can do that, the attack, the difficulty after a time retires – or even if it lasts a little cannot disturb what has been gained.
