===Vital Disturbance and Revolt===
This part of the vital [''which wants to revolt''] has no precise reasons to support itself with—it takes hold of any mood of disappointment or strong sense of difficulty. It is a factor in all human natures,—restless, desiring, eager, despondent, unstable. Stand back from it and do not allow it to govern or move you. There is a right part of the vital which must be used—ardent, sensitive to the higher things, capable of great love and devotion. Strengthen that and support it on the psychic and on the peace and wideness that comes from above. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/wrong-movements-of-the-vital#p54</ref>
==Elevated Form of Lower Vital==
=How to Transform the Lower Vital?=
==By Rejecting Wrong Movements of the Lower Vital==
There is only one way of escape from this siege of the lower vital nature. It is the entire rejection of all egoistic vital demand, claim and desire and the replacement of the dissatisfied vital urge by the purity of psychic aspiration. Not the satisfaction of these vital clamours nor, either, an ascetic retirement is the true solution, but the surrender of the vital being to the Divine and a single-minded consecration to the supreme Truth into which desire and demand cannot enter. For the nature of the supreme Truth is Light and Ananda, and where desire and demand are there can be no Ananda. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p31</ref>

It is always their [''the lower forces’forces''] endeavour to rise up and get the sanction of the mind and higher vital—or if they cannot do that, to cover them up so that the lower nature may act in its ordinary way without being pressed by the higher consciousness to change. The first thing necessary for the sadhak is not to give any consent of his mind or higher vital and to keep them from being covered. If that can be done, then it becomes possible to push the lower forces out of the lower vital and body and not allow them to return. It is the Mother's Force which you feel—for all the higher forces are hers. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/steps-towards-overcoming-difficulties#p53</ref>

==Avoid By Avoiding Premature Engagement with the Lower Vital==
The lower vital is a very obscure plane and it can be fully opened with advantage only when the other planes above it have been thrown wide to light and knowledge. One who concentrates on the lower vital without that higher preparation and without knowledge is likely to fall into many confusions. This does not mean that experiences of this plane may not come earlier or even at the beginning; they do come of themselves, but they must not be given too large a place. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-lower-vital-being#p40</ref>

''Q.How and why does this pressure come?''
''A.''If you mean the pressure of inert passivity, it comes from the resistance of the lower vital and the obscurity of the material nature. It can be overcome by an untiring will and aspiration. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/12-february-1934-1#p4</ref>
