Sri Aurobindo — Sahana Devi

Undated

Your mind and higher vital are convinced of that, but something in the physical consciousness and the subterranean vital is not, it still goes back by habit to the old movements and that is why the mechanical physical mind goes on dwelling on these ideas or rather these accustomed mind-movements. You must–since it has risen up from below the surface – press quietly but firmly on these parts the light and knowledge and will you have in your mind and higher vital. Then there will be a liberation of the whole being and the body will not have these depressions.
