upon his receptivity. I know many people of this kind: they say,
"Oh! But I aspire all the time and still I receive nothing." It is
impossible that they should receive nothing, in the see that
the answer is sure to come. But it is they who do not receive.
The answer comes but they are not receptive, so they receive
nothing.
There are people, you know, who have a lot of aspira-
tion. They call the force. The force comes to them — even en-
ters deeply into them — and they are so unconscious that
they don't know it! That indeed happens quite frequently. It
is their state of unconsciousness, which prevents them from
even feeling the force which enters into them. It enters into
them, and does its work. I knew people who were gradually
transformed and yet were so unconscious that they were not
even aware of it. The consciousness comes later — very much
later. On the other hand, there are people who are more pas-
sive, so to speak, more open, more attentive, and even if a
very slight amount of force comes, they become aware of it
immediately and use it fully.
When you have an aspiration, a very active aspiration,
your aspiration is going to do its work. It is going to call down
the answer to what you aspire for. But if, later, you begin to
think of something else or are not attentive or receptive, you
do not even notice that your aspiration has received an an-
swer. This happen very frequently. So people tell you: "I aspire
and I don't receive anything, I get no answer!" Yes, you do
have an answer but you are not aware of it, because you con-
tinue to be active in this way, like a mill turning all the time.
