you go on. And one day you emerge into that peace that
nothing can trouble. You answer to all the contrary forces,
the contrary movements, the attacks, the misunderstand-
ings, the bad wills, with the same smile that comes from full
confidence in the Divine Grace. And that is the only way out,
there is no other.
This world is a world of conflict, suffering, difficulty,
strain; it is made of it. It has not yet changed, it will take
some time before changing. And for each one there is a pos-
sibility of getting out. If you lean back on the presence of the
Supreme Grace, that is the only way out.
CWM 15: 398 – 399
True attitude of a yogi
When you come to the Divine, you must abandon all
mental conceptions; but, instead of doing that, you throw
your conceptions upon the Divine and want the Divine to
obey them. The only true attitude for a Yogi is to be plastic
and ready to obey the Divine Command whatever it may be;
nothing must be indispensable to him, nothing a burden. Of-
ten the first impulse of those who want to live the spiritual
life is to throw away all they have; but they do it because
they want to be rid of a burden, not because they want to
surrender to the Divine. Men who possess wealth and are
surrounded by the things that give them luxury and enjoy-
ment turn to the Divine, and immediately their movement is
to run away from these things,—or, as they say, “to escape
from their bondage”. But it is a wrong movement; you must
not think that the things you have belong to you,— they be-
long to the Divine. If the Divine wants you to enjoy anything,
enjoy it; but be ready too to give it up the very next moment
with a smile.
