Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

Fragment ID: 13299

By Force I mean not mental or vital energy but the Divine Force from above – as peace comes from above and wideness also, so does this Force (Shakti). Nothing, not even thinking or meditating can be done without some action of Force. The Force I speak of is a Force for illumination, transformation, purification, all that has to be done in the Yoga, for removal of the hostile forces and the wrong movements – it is also of course for external work, whether great or small in appearance does not matter – if that is part of the Divine Will. I do not mean any personal force egoistic or rajasic.
