Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

July 13, 1933

For about a month I am having a feeling that the devotion, love and aspiration for the Divine have disappeared from me. I feel the same even during the morning pranam. Mother, I pray to Thee to shower Thy Grace and inspire me to have the devotion, love and aspiration for Thee again. Mother, what may be the reason for this?

You may have allowed your consciousness to go too much outward and get taken up by ordinary things? It is usually when the outer physical consciousness covers up the inner being that this happens. The aspiration is not gone, but it no longer rises to the surface. If you remain very quiet inwardly and call to the Mother, it should come back.
