3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19570

Is there no way for me to follow your path happily? I will not be able to do anything for the Mother in this life, so I simply try to stay away from the defects of previous lives. Why can’t I understand anything? Why can’t the Mother pull me towards her? What is it I feel hurt about and worry about? Can you explain it to me?

All this is of no utility – complainings, questionings etc. of this kind should be put aside. You have to go on quietly, without depression or trouble, receiving the Mother’s forces, allowing them to work, rejecting all that stands in their way, but not troubled by difficulty or defects in yourself or by any delay or slowness in the working.
