Soul faith is indispensable to the action of the being. Without it man cannot move a single pace in life, much less take any step forward. Whatever he has the faith to see as possible in himself and strive for, that he can create and become.

If we go outside time and space we return to the Unmainfest. To be victorious over the world's misery, corruption and falsehood - much harder to do - we need the Supramental Consciousness, the endless Delight which is power, endurance and supreme courage.
"O man, the events that meet thee on thy road, though they smite thy body and soul with joy and grief, are not thy fate,- they touch thee awhile and pass: even death can cut not short thy spirit's walk: thy goal, the road thou choosest are thy fate."
Surrender of ourself to the Shakti is actually a form of real self-surrender to the Divine. ... All our consciousness is his consciousness ... finally there is only the conscious activity in us of the Divine.
Attaining quiet and equanimity decreases all difficulties as we come to comprehend the necessity of a genuine and complete surrender of ourselves to the divine Master.
One must achieve a total change of consciousness to make real, lasting changes in oneself. The first blossoming of the soul shows the path and the goal. Every minute you must choose from your inner truth between what drags you down or draws you up.
We have to become aware of the divine Shakti, draw her to us, call her in to fill the whole system, ... she will fill us, preside over us, take up all our inner activities, our outer life, our Yoga.
It is a discovery of the eternal truth of our being, a passing above the limited truth of the mental, vital and physical to the full truth of our spiritual nature to which we aspire. We can become aware of the presence of the universal Shakti.
"O mortal who complainst of death and fate, accuse none of the harms thyself has called; this troubled world thou hast chosen for thy home, thou are thyself the author of thy pain." The soul assimilates all it needs from its last life and yearns for rebirth
Our life itself is an inquiry after truth and knowledge, a struggle and battle of our will with ourselves and surrounding forces, a struggle and battle of our will with ourselves and surrounding forces. Self-surrender to the Master of our being is the goal.
