Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo

1. Spirituality

The Man of Sorrows

II. Difficulties and Despair

I hear that many are the people here who have been at one time or another on the point of going away due to the pressure of Yoga.

That is not due to the pressure of Yoga but to the pressure of something in them that negates the Yoga. If one follows one's psychic being and higher mental call, no amount of pressure of Yoga can produce such results. People talk as if the Yoga had some  maleficent force in it which produces these results. It is on the contrary the resistance to Yoga that does it.
