more general ones — conditions of Nature in general. There are
times when you meet more difficulties in the sadhana; there
are times, on the contrary, when you feel in yourself a greater
push for the growth of knowledge and consciousness. This
helps you in the sense that, if at a given time you find yourself
in the midst of special difficulties or something that seems like
a stoppage, instead of lamenting you tell yourself, "Why, it's
the usual time; it's because we are at this particular time of
the year." And you wait with patience for the time to pass; or
do what you can, but without being discouraged and saying,
"Ah, look, I am not getting on, I am not making any progress."
It helps you to be reasonable.
And naturally one can take one more step and take pre-
cautions in such a way... inner precautions to be independent
of these external influences. But this comes much later, when
one begins to be the conscious master of one's sadhana. That
comes afterwards.
CWM 7: 332-34 The Mother

There is a rhythm in

everything unheard by the

physical ear and by

that rhythm things exist.
