It is quite possible for you to do sadhana at home and in the midst
of your work — many do so. What is necessary at the beginning is
to remember the Mother as much as possible, to concentrate on
her in the heart for a time every day, if possible thinking of her as
the Divine Mother, to aspire to feel her there within you, offer her
your works and pray that from within she may guide and sustain
you. This is a preliminary stage which often takes long, but if one
goes through it with sincerity and steadfastness, the mentality
begins little by little to change and a new consciousness opens
in the sadhak which begins to be aware more and more of the
Mother’s presence within, of her working in the nature and in the
life or of some other spiritual experience which opens the gate
towards realisation.
CWSA 32: 186 Sri Aurobindo

There is only one thing needed

to make anyone fit for the Mother’s grace

— it is a perfect sincerity and a truthful

openness to the Mother

in all the being.

CWSA 32: 164 Sri Aurobindo
