Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume IV - Part 2

Fragment ID: 13871

This part of the vital [which wants to revolt] has no precise reasons to support itself with – it takes hold of any mood of disappointment or strong sense of difficulty. It is a factor in all human natures,– restless, desiring, eager, despondent, unstable. Stand back from it and do not allow it to govern or move you. There is a right part of the vital which must be used – ardent, sensitive to the higher things, capable of great love and devotion. Strengthen that and support it on the psychic and on the peace and wideness that comes from above.
