Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume II - Part 2

Fragment ID: 11569

From the point of view of sadhana – you must not allow yourself to be in the least disturbed by these things [lack of sympathy and support in one’s work]. What you have to do, what is right to be done, should be done in perfect calmness with the support of the Divine Force. All that is necessary for a successful result, can be done – including the securing of the support of those who are able to help you. But if this outer support is not forthcoming, you have not to be disturbed but to proceed calmly on your way. If there is any difficulty or unsuccess anywhere not due to your own fault, you have not to be troubled. Strength, unmoved calm, quiet, straight and right dealing with all things you have to deal with must be the rule of your action.
