Changes

The true spiritual or psychic vision is this, "Whatever I may be, my soul is a child of the Divine and must reach the Divine sooner or later. I am imperfect but seek after the perfection of the Divine in me and that not I but the Divine Grace will bring about; if I keep to that, the Divine Grace itself will do all." The "I" has to take its proper place here as a small portion and instrument of the Divine, something that is nothing without the Divine but with the Grace can be everything that the Divine wishes it to be. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/dealing-with-hostile-attacks#p55</ref>

How many blows are needed in life for one to know to the very depths that one is ''nothing'', that one can do ''nothing'' that one ''does not exist'', that one is ''nothing'', that there is no entity without the divine Consciousness and the Grace. From the moment one knows it, it is over; all the difficulties have gone. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/15-september-1954#p37</ref>

It's narrowness of consciousness, it's division. When you let things work on their own, there's... there's EVERYWHERE a Consciousness and a Grace that do EVERYTHING so that EVERYTHING may go smoothly, and that imbecility is what constantly upsets everything—oddly enough! Self-centered imbecility, that's right: what Sri Aurobindo called "the old man." <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/november-19-1969#p98</ref>

The psychic does not demand or desire; it aspires; it does not make conditions for its surrender or withdraw if its aspiration is not immediately satisfied—for the psychic has complete trust in the Divine or in the guru and can wait for the right time or the hour of the divine grace.
