, 15:19, 13 August 2019→Difficulties and the Right Attitude
Ordinary men, on the contrary, always ask God to give them an easy, pleasant and successful life. In every personal satisfaction they see a sign of divine mercy; but if on the contrary they meet with unhappiness and misfortune in life, they complain and say to God, "You do not love me."
In opposition to this crude and ignorant attitude, Sri Aurobindo says to the divine Beloved, "Strike, strike hard, let me feel the intensity of Thy love for me."
[Based on Aphorism<33>—O Thou that lovest, strike! If Thou strike me not now, I shall know that Thou lovest me not.]
