about. An entire faith, opening, self-giving to the Mother are
the one condition necessary throughout.
*
It seems to me that the best place for getting rid of wrong move-
ments is the Asram, under the Mother's grace, help, protection
and physical nearness.

That is only true if one can open oneself to the Mother. To be
here and shut up to it and under another control does not help.
*
That is what must be done. Trust in the Mother and will only to
be open to her always and as quietly confident as may be. The
work to be done is too great for the outer mind to understand
how it is to be done; it is only by growing light and experience
that one day it begins to understand — it is also too great and
difficult for it to do by itself, — it can only help the Power that
is working by its readiness, aspiration, faith, quietude. But in
no sadhak are these things constant—the aspiration gets sus-
pended, the faith wavers, the quietude is disturbed or shaken
— but still the Mother is there at work and one has only to per-
severe, — finally the perseverance will be justified by the result.
To give up is the one thing one must never do.
*
That the mind is turning away more and more from outward
things and the will to be turned wholly to the Mother is grow-
ing is very good, for that is the first necessity. The condition
of being so turned and wholly open can then more easily de-
velop. The two minutes' flash of opening showed you how it
will come; for it comes like that, by glimpses at first of brief
duration, but afterwards it grows in hold and duration till it is
ready for permanence. It is a new birth in the nature and so it
can't come all at once, but once begun it grows till it is perfect.
