Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 2

Fragment ID: 12265

It is quite usual at a certain stage of the sadhana for people who have the faculty to see or hear the Devata of their worship and to receive constant directions from him or her with regard either to action or to sadhana. Defects and difficulties may remain, but that does not prevent the direct guidance from being a fact. The necessity of the Guru in such cases is to see that it is the right experience, the right voice or vision – for it is possible for a false guidance to come as it did with X and Y.
