nervousness and irritation. These things belong to the old mind
        you are trying to leave and therefore stand in the way of concen-
        tration and quietude. They should be stopped at their root by
        rejecting the suggestions of the physical mind as soon as they
        begin. A new consciousness is coming based upon inner silence
        and quietude. You must wait quietly for that to develop. True
        knowledge, true perceptions of people and things will come in
        that new silent consciousness. The mind's view of people and
        things must necessarily be either limited and defective or erro-
        neous—to go on judging by it is now a waste of time. Wait for
        the new consciousness to develop and show you all in a new
        and true light. Then the tendency to anger which arises from
        this mind and is a violent impatience directed against things
        the mind and vital do not like, would have no ground to rise at
        all — or if it rose without cause could be more easily rejected.
        Rely for the sadhana on the Mother's grace and her Force, your-
        self remembering always to keep only two things, quietude and
        confidence. For things and people, leave them to the Mother
        also; as you have difficulties in your nature, so they have too;
        but to deal with them needs insight, sympathy, patience.

        The inner will prevails sometimes, sometimes it does not prevail
        for the time being. That is quite normal. It depends on certain
        conditions which the physical mind does not see. As one grows
        in knowledge, one becomes aware of these unseen conditions
        and understands better what happens.

        Rejection
            Because anger etc. once used to come, it does not follow
        that they cannot die down in a short time, so his incredulity is
        not justifiable. This is just the way that these things do go. They
        come vehemently and resist the force used to eject them, but
