Changes

Vital difficulties are the common lot of every human being and of every sadhak—they are to be met with a quiet determination and confidence in the Divine’s Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-difficulties-of-yoga#p13</ref>

The Divine Grace and Power can do everything, but with the full assent of the sadhak. To learn to give that full assent is the whole meaning of the sadhana. It may take time either because of ideas in the mind, desires in the vital or inertia in the physical consciousness, but these things have to be and can be removed with the aid or by calling in the action of the Divine Force. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p11</ref>

There is no reason why suffering should be indispensable for making progress. You bring the suffering on yourself by the wrong ideas of the mind and by the revolts of the vital. The Mother's grace and love are there, but the mind refuses to recognise it. If there is confidence, if the mind and vital consent to surrender and have full faith and reliance, then there may be difficulties but there is no suffering. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/resistances-sufferings-and-falls#p15</ref>

Face all these [''inner disturbances''] things quietly and firmly with perseverance in the endeavour of the sadhana. Trust firmly in the Divine Grace and the Divine Grace will not fail you. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p23</ref>

You must realise that these moods are attacks which should be rejected at once—for they repose on nothing but suggestions of self-distrust and incapacity which have no meaning, since it is by the Grace of the Divine and the aid of a Force greater than your own, not by personal capacity and worth that you can attain the goal of the sadhana. You have to remember that and dissociate yourself from these suggestions when they come, never accept or yield to them. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-call-and-the-capacity#p23</ref>

All the circumstances of life are arranged to teach us that, beyond mind, faith in the Divine Grace gives us the strength to go through all trials, to overcome all weaknesses and find the contact with the Divine Consciousness which gives us not only peace and joy but also physical balance and good health.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/10/aphorism-382#p2</ref> [Based on Aphorism 382—For nearly forty years behind the wholly good I was weakly in constitution; I suffered constantly from the smaller and the greater ailments and mistook this curse for a burden that Nature had laid upon me. When I renounced the aid of medicines, then they began to depart from me like disappointed parasites. Then only I understood what a mighty force was the natural health within me and how much mightier yet the Will and Faith exceeding mind which God meant to be the divine support of our life in this body.]

The grace and protection are always with you. When in any inner or outer difficulty or trouble do not allow it to oppress you; take refuge with the Divine Force that protects.

If you do that always with faith and sincerity, you will find something opening in you which will always remain calm and peaceful in spite of all superficial disturbances. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/vigilance-resolution-will-and-the-divine-help#p71-p72</ref>

You answer to all the contrary forces, the contrary movements, the attacks, the misunderstandings, the bad wills, with the same smile that comes from full confidence in the Divine Grace. And that is the ''only'' way out, there is no other. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/11-may-1967#p3</ref>

...it is this attitude; if you can tell yourself, "Good, perhaps the divine Grace deserves our confidence", simply this, nothing else, you will avoid many difficulties, many. In fact this avoids many difficulties even in ordinary life, and many worries. And particularly here, if you can do that, well, you will see things which seemed formidably difficult dissolving suddenly like clouds.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/22-december-1954#p41</ref>

When, in your life, you meet with a hardship, take it as a Grace from the Lord and, indeed, it will become so. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p3</ref>

...the lack of faith of the human mind brings complications and pain where with a quiet faith in the Divine Guidance all could be very simple and easy. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p11</ref>

Do not allow any discouragement to come upon you and have no distrust of the Divine Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/faith#p54</ref>

With trust in the Divine's Grace all obstacles can be surmounted. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p10</ref>
