...It (inertia) was because of the nature, because the tendency to tamas is there: the outer being is not yet suffi-cently transformed. When the inertia rises you have to keep your inner being separate from it and perfectly calm and not to acquiesce in any nervousness or accept any suggestions or allow yourself to lean towards any active resistance or dissatisfaction with what is written to you or done for you. If in addition you find it possible to use any of the active means suggested in past answers, it is well – but if not this at least – what I have written above must be done. And always the aspiration firm and steady – not eager and excited – for the descent and the transformation of the whole nature must be preserved intact.
