difficulties can do nothing, even if they come in your way.
In time their force will diminish, perish and no longer exist.Sri Aurobindo

1. Obstacles and Difficulties
I have repeatedly told you about this that difficulties do not go in a moment.
Difficulties are the results of the outer nature of human beings.
This nature does not change in a day or in a few days, not even in great sadhaks.
But if you can entirely depend on the Mother and aspire to her in silence and calm and go on without anxiety, then the difficulties can do nothing, even if they come in your way.
In time their force will diminish, perish and no longer exist.
