Letters of Sri Aurobindo
2. The Mother, Sri Aurobindo and the Integral Yoga
Fragment ID: 19076
There are no conditions for receiving the influence of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother1 except faith, an entire sincerity in following the spiritual path and a will and capacity to open oneself to the influence; but this capacity usually comes as the result of sincerity and faith.
It is quite possible to follow the Yoga while remaining outside the Asram. There are many both in Northern and Southern India who do it.
You can submit your doubts for elucidation to Sri Aurobindo, if brief answers are sufficient, as he has little time. If longer and more detailed answers are necessary, it could only be done through one of his disciples.
