Yogic Guidance (I)

Tell me, if I pray for peace, strength etc., will it be enough or not? After that, rejection, detachment must be done by your Force.

At any rate there must be the acceptance of the rejection or detachment for the Force to use – a kind of will in it. If you simply pray and then say “All right now, damn it, I have done all that is necessary. I can now lament or indulge” – that makes things a trifle difficult.
