Need for miracles
            We should turn this need for miracles into a conscious  as-
        piration  to something — something that already is, that exists,
        and that will be manifested with the help of all those  aspiration
        s: all those  aspiration s are necessary, or rather, looking at it in
        a truer way, they are an accompaniment — a pleasant accom-
        paniment — to the eternal unfolding.
            Basically, people with a very strict logic tell you, "Why pray?
        Why aspire, why ask? The Lord does what He wills and will al-
        ways do what He wills." It's perfectly obvious, it goes without
        saying, but this fervor, "Lord, manifest Yourself!" gives His man-
        ifestation a more intense vibration.
            Otherwise He would never have made the world as it is —
        there is a special power, a special joy, a special vibration in the
        world's intensity of  aspiration  to become again what it is.
            And that is why — partly, fragmentarily why — there is
        evolution.

        Effect of aspiration
            I did not understand very well the answer to this questions:
            "Does the power of  aspiration  vary in different sadhaks
            according to their natures?"


        Ah! Yes.
            You see, I think the question has been put badly. I believe
        the one who asked the questions wanted to say "the effect of
        aspiration " and he put "power". That is,  aspiration  in every-
        one, no matter who it is, has the same power. But the effect of
        this  aspiration  is different. For  aspiration  is  aspiration : if you
        have  aspiration, in itself it has a power. Only, this  aspiration
        calls down an answer, and this answer, the effect, which is the
        result of the  aspiration, depends upon each one, for it depends
