landmarks on the road.

Matter, blind to the Light, deaf to the call, the material con-
sciousness and material life are the last and most obstinate
refuge of the Inconscient and its resistance. There, the nearer
the light, the higher it raises its wall of resistance. When that is
overcome, the decisive transformation can have an open way.

Prayers for a Sadhak
Deliver me from anger, ingratitude and foolish pride. Make
me calm, humble and gentle. Let me feel your divine control in
my work and in all my action.
*
I pray to be purified from self-will and self-assertion so that I
may become docile and obedient to the Mother and a fit instru-
ment for her work, surrendered and guided by her Grace in all
I do.
*
May I henceforth with a firm determination cast away from me
my faults and defects and may I do it with energy and perse-
verance till I succeed entirely. May I get rid of all arrogance,
quarrelsomeness, self-esteem and vanity, disobedience and
revolt against the Mother, hatred and rancour against others,
violence of speech and conduct, falsehood, self-assertion and
demand, discontent and grumbling. May I be friendly to all and
without malice against anyone. May I become a true child of
the Mother.
