Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume IV - Part 2

Fragment ID: 13891

The lower vital is very slow in listening to reason – at least when reason is on the side of Truth; although it is very pleased to listen to the mind when the mind justifies the lower vital’s wrong movements. In fact the lower vital moves on its own lines, not according to Truth or reason. It is only the insistence of a stronger Light that can enlighten it by changing it in its own substance of consciousness.
