Second Series

Spiritual Force and Other Forces (III)

One can feel it [Force] in the same way if it descends in the body. But sometimes it simply works from above or behind or within and in that case one may be conscious of the result, the energy given without feeling the Force itself.... No. It depends on the person. Many people feel the Force more easily than the Peace or the Ananda.... That needs a knowledge and keen observation, I suppose – to see whether the fact of the work is as good as the show. But you are there for supervision mainly, not for expert knowledge.... Well, get the Energy from above (the Force) and put it forcefully on the carpenters. If one day you can do that you will amply justify your timber-throne.... One must also aspire for the Force and for the consciousness of the Force. There is a lid in between. Remove that and the Force will come tumbling down into you.... Much more easy if you have the force to make a carpenter to carpent properly than to propel a sadhak in the way he should go. Receptivity is all-important for the sadhana – it counts but not so much in getting an ordinary thing done by an ordinary man.... Direct it [Force] upon them [workers] in a steady stream. If Force can come into you, why can't it go out from you too?
