time needed for this realisation; of replacing time by intensity
of effort and going fast enough and far enough in the realisa-
tion to liberate themselves from the consequences of the pres-
ent condition of the world; of making such a concentration of
force, strength, light, truth, that by this very realisation they
can be above these consequences and secure against them,
enjoy the protection bestowed by the Light and Truth, by Pu-
rity — the divine Purity through the inner transformation — and
that the storm may pass over the world without being able to
destroy this great hope of the near future; that the tempest
may not sweep away this beginning of realisation.
Instead of falling asleep in an easy quietude and letting
things happen according to their own rhythm, if one strains
to the utmost one's will, ardour, aspiration and springs up into
the light, then one can hold one's head higher; one can have,
in a higher region of consciousness, enough room to live, to
breathe, to grow and develop above the passing cyclone.
This is possible. In a very small way, this was already done
during the last war, when Sri Aurobindo was here. It can be
done again. But one must want it and each one must do his
own work as sincerely and completely as he can.
