2) Absolute faith—faith that what is for the best will happen, but also that if one can make oneself a true instrument, the fruit will be that which one’s will guided by the Divine Light sees as the thing to be done—kartavyaṁ karma.

The voidness is the best condition for a full receptivity.

In order to be filled anew the vessel must get empty sometimes.

It is when we are preparing for greater receptivities that we feel empty.

All quietude of the mind makes good conditions for the receptivity to act.

So, at first, to begin with, one must be able to get out of the ego. Afterwards, it has to be, you understand, in a certain state of inexistence. Then you begin to perceive things as they are, from a little higher up. But if you want to know things as they really are, you must be ''absolutely'' like a mirror: silent, peaceful, immobile, impartial, without preferences and in a state of total receptivity. And if you are like that, you will begin to see that there are many things you are not aware of, but which are there, and which will start becoming active in you.

Peace is necessary for all; without peace and an increasing purity, even if one opens, one cannot receive perfectly all that comes down through the opening. Light too is necessary for all—without light one cannot take full advantage of all that comes down. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/peace-the-basis-of-the-sadhana#p2</ref>

===Aspiration===

Aspiration is to call the forces. When the forces have answered, there is a natural state of quiet receptivity concentrated but spontaneous.

Hold fast and aspire always for the love and the opening. The inner heart is there and that will receive an answer to the aspiration and one day quickly open the outer and make it also receive. To call to the Mother always is the main thing and with that to aspire and assent to the light when it comes, to reject and detach oneself from desire and any dark movement. But if one cannot do these other things successfully, then call and still call. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/wrong-movements-of-the-vital#p21</ref>

The sadhana of this Yoga does not proceed through any set mental teaching or prescribed forms of meditation, mantras or others, but by aspiration, by a self-concentration inwards or upwards, by self-opening to an Influence, to the Divine Power above us and its workings, to the Divine Presence in the heart, and by the rejection of all that is foreign to these things. It is only by faith, aspiration and surrender that this self-opening can come. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-aim-of-the-integral-yoga#p3</ref>

''Q. How can I receive Sri Aurobindo’s light in the mind?''

''A.'' It can always come if you aspire patiently. But the basic condition, if you want that Light, is to get rid of all other mental influences. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/receiving-sri-aurobindos-light#p1,p2</ref>
