Even now I am unable to understand my present sadhana. What is the matter with it? – one after another, attacks are persistently coming. Am I pushed into a region of attacks? No sooner do I conquer one than I sec already another approaching me!

This negation is the very nature of the physical resistance and the physical resistance is the whole base of the denial of the Divine in the world. All in the physical is persistent, obstinate, with a massive force of negation and inertia – if it were not so, sadhana would be extremely cursory. You have to face this character of the physical resistance and conquer it however often it may rise. It is the price of the transformation of the earth-consciousness.
