This is for those who are not called upon or are not yet
called upon to live in the Asram under the direct pressure of the
central Force and Presence. Those who must so live are those
called from the beginning or who have become ready or who
are for some reason or another given a chance to form part of
the work or creation which is being prepared by the Yoga. For
them the stay here in the atmosphere, the nearness are indis-
pensable; to depart would be for them a renunciation of the op-
portunity given them, a turning of the back upon the spiritual
destiny. Their difficulties are often in appearance greater than
the struggle of those who remain outside because the demand
and the pressure are greater; but so also is their opportunity
greater and the power and influence for development poured
upon them and that too which they can spiritually become and
will become if they are faithful to the choice and the call.

Right attitude
What you say is right. This attitude that the Divine has need
of the sadhak and not the sadhak of the Divine, is utterly wrong
and absurd. When people are accepted here, they are given a
chance of a great Divine Grace, of being instruments in a great
work. To suppose that the Divine cannot do his work without
the help of this or that person is surely most arrogant and il-
logical. They ought to remember the Gita's "@ñiÉä%Ê{É i´ÉÉÆ' "even
without thee" the work can be done, and its "ÊxÉʨÉkɨÉÉjÉÆ ¦É´É' .

"Dedication of life" is quite possible for some without their
staying here. It is a question of inward attitude and of the total
consecration of the being to the Divine.
