Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume IV - Part 4

If one knows how to profit by experience, even the Hostile Forces and their attacks can be useful – although of course that does not mean that the attacks should be invited. What they do is to press with all their force upon some weak point of our nature and if we are vigilant, we can see and throw away that weakness. Only the attack method of these Forces is too violent and upheaving and endangers the good things in one also, faith and peace etc. – so one has to be careful to keep these against all attacks.
