==For It is the first secret of Yoga==, to maintain the inner calm always and from that calm to meet everything.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quiet-and-calm#p62</ref>
It is Wideness and calmness are the first secret foundation of Yoga, to maintain the Yogic consciousness and the best condition for inner growth and experience. If a wide calm always can be established in the physical consciousness, occupying and from filling the very body and all its cells, that calm to meet everythingcan become the basis for its transformation; in fact, without this wideness and calmness the transformation is hardly possible. <ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/quietpeace-the-basis-of-andthe-calmsadhana#p62p18</ref>

==For Descent One sits quietly, to begin with; and then, instead of Force==thinking of fifty things, one begins saying to oneself, "Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, calm, peace!" One imagines peace and calm. One aspires, asks that it may come: "Peace, peace, calm." And then, when something comes and touches one and acts, say quietly, like this, "Peace, peace, peace." One must not look and listen to the thoughts. One must not pay attention to everything that comes. It is as though one were learning how to call a friend: by dint of being called he comes. One makes peace and calm one’s friends and calls them: "Come, peace, peace, peace, peace, come!"<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/8-september-1954#p45,p46</ref>
Peace, Calm, Quiet as a Basis for the Descent
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-descent-of-the-higher-powers#p9</ref>
Calm As soon as there is the least sign of discontentment, of annoyance, the Self vital must be fixed—otherwise spoken to in this way, "My friend, you are going to keep calm, you are going to do what you are asked to do, otherwise you will have to deal with me." And to the active Descent may find other, the forces enthusiast who says, "Everything must be done now, immediately", your reply is, "calm yourself a little, your energy is excellent, but it awakes seized on by lower Powers must not be spent in five minutes. We shall need it for a long time, keep it carefully and , as it is wanted, I shall call upon your goodwill. You will show that you are full of goodwill, you will obey, you won't grumble, you will not protest, you will not revolt, you will say 'yes, yes', you will make a confusion created. That has happened with manylittle sacrifice when asked, you will say 'yes' whole-heartedly. "<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/3004/the-descent-of-the26-highermarch-powers1951#p11p13</ref>
==For Work==To control the buzz of the physical mind, one must reject it quietly, without getting disturbed, till it feels discouraged and retires shaking its head and saying, "This fellow is too calm and strong for me." There are always two things that can rise up and assail the silence,—vital suggestions, the physical mind's mechanical recurrences. Calm rejection for both is the cure. There is a Purusha within who can dictate to the nature what it shall admit or exclude, but its will is a strong, quiet will; if one gets perturbed or agitated over the difficulties, then the will of the Purusha cannot act effectively as it would otherwise.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/concentration-and-meditation#p35</ref>
What you write about Surrender everything, reject all other desires or interests, call on the work is correct; divine Shakti to work in this open the vital nature and bring down calm ever-widening consciousness is at once , peace, light, Ananda into all the centres. Aspire, await with faith and patience the result. All depends on a sādhanā complete sincerity and an integral consecration and a siddhiaspiration.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3029/inner-experiences-in-the-state-of-samadhisurrender#p26p43</ref>
