No, it is not enough to be in the Asram — one has to open to
the Mother and put away the mud which one was playing with
in the world.

I could not decide whether to give up my present work or to
change it. Then I thought I will leave the work in order to medi-
tate. But I do not know what is good for me. You alone know
everything.

It is a mistake to exercise the mind about these things and try
to arrange them with the ordinary mind. It is by confidence in
the Mother that the opening needed will come when your con-
sciousness is ready. There is no harm in arranging your present
work so that there will be time and energy for some meditation,
but it is not by meditation alone that what is needed will come.
It is by faith and openness to the Mother.

Openness is not always complete from the first — a part of
the being opens, other parts of the consciousness remain still
closed or half open only — one has to aspire till all is open.
Even with the best and most powerful sadhak the full opening
takes time; nor is there anyone who has been able to abandon
everything at once without any struggle. There is no reason
to feel therefore that if you call, you will not be heard — the
Mother knows the difficulties of human nature and will help
you through. Persevere always, call always and then after each
difficulty there will be a progress.

What poise or mode should we keep for the supramental de-
scent?

As for poise or mode — that you need not trouble yourself
