Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo

Second Series

1. Spirituality

The Man of Sorrows

II. Difficulties and Despair

The Mother says in her Prayers that experience is willed by the Divine. Am I then to suppose that dearth or abundance of experiences is in any given case willed by the Divine?

To say so has no value unless you realise all things as coming from the Divine. One who has realised as the Mother had realised in the midst of terrible sufferings and difficulties that even these came from the Divine and were preparing her for her work can  make a spiritual use of such an attitude. For others it may lead to wrong conclusions.
