In my present state, I can’t keep any aspiration for further progress. Is it all right to lose it?

If not aspiration, at least keep the idea of what is necessary – (1) that the silence and peace shall become a wideness which you can realise as the Self – (2) the extension of the silent consciousness upwards as well so that you may feel its source above you – (3) the presence of peace etc., all the time. These things need not all come at once, but by realising what has to be in your mind, any falling towards a condition of inertia can be avoided.
