Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

Fragment ID: 13069

A weeping that comes with the feeling you speak of is the sign of a psychic sorrow – for it translates as an aspiration of the psychic being. But depression and hopelessness ought not to come. You should rather cling to the faith that since there is a true aspiration in you – and of that there can be no doubt – it is sure to be fulfilled, whatever the difficulties of the external nature. You must recover in that faith the inner peace and quietude while at the same time keeping the clear insight into what has to be done and the steady aspiration for the inner and outer change.
