=What to Reject and Why=
Rejection means rejection of the movements of the lower nature—rejection of the mind’s ideas, opinions, preferences, habits, constructions, so that the true knowledge may find free room in a silent mind,—rejection of the vital nature’s desires, demands, cravings, sensations, passions, selfishness, pride, arrogance, lust, greed, jealousy, envy, hostility to the Truth, so that the true power and joy may pour from above into a calm, large, strong and consecrated vital being,—rejection of the physical nature’s stupidity, doubt, disbelief, obscurity, obstinacy, pettiness, laziness, unwillingness to change, tamas, so that the true stability of Light, Power, Ananda may establish itself in a body growing always more divine. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mother-ii</ref>
Here there are a few important points to note to not make any errors in our rejection.
==Reject Ignorance, not God’s Manifestation==
Rejection does not mean the rejection or renunciation of Nature as in some traditional paths of Yoga. It is not by rejecting God's manifestation, but by rejecting our own ignorance of it and the results of our ignorance, that we can best lift up and offer the whole of our being and consciousness and energy and joy of being into the Divine Existence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-progress-to-knowledge-god-man-and-nature#p11</ref>
==According To Our Feeling, Insight or Experience==
How do we know what to reject? All that cannot be transformed or refuses to be part of a divine consciousness we must abandon without hesitation, but not from any preconceived prejudgment of its unfitness or its incapacity to be an element of the new inner life. There can be no fixed mental test or principle for these things; we will therefore follow no unalterable rule, but accept or repel an activity of the mind according to our feeling, insight or experience until the greater Power and Light are there to turn their unerring scrutiny on all that is below and choose or reject their material out of what the human evolution has prepared for the divine labour.
With practice one learns to distinguish more and more clearly, but one can establish as a general rule that all that tends towards disharmony, disorder and inertia comes from the falsehood and all that favours union, harmony, order and consciousness comes from the Truth. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/13-january-1965#p3</ref>
==What is Not in Accord With Aspiration?==
Another way to evaluate what to reject is to present in the consciousness each thought, each feeling, each sensation, each impulse, each reaction, as it manifests, to the central being or its aspiration. What is in accord is accepted; what is not in accord is refused, rejected or transformed. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/10-may-1967#p3</ref>
