==Universal Will==
It is not that one is allowed to exercise his will over another, but that there is a universal will and those who are more or less capable of manifesting this force seem to have a stronger will-power. It is like vital force or light or electricity or any other power of nature; some are good channels or instruments for manifesting the power, others are poor channels. There is no question of morality here. It is a fact of nature, a law of the great play. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/12-may-1929#p13 </ref>
==Misconceptions of Will powerIndividual will – Strong and Calm==
===Not Effortful ===It is not the right kind of will-power if it increases fatigue—probably they use some fighting or effortful will-power instead of the quiet but strong will that calls down the higher consciousness and force. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/vigilance-resolution-will-and-the-divine-help#p44</ref>
It To learn how to will is a very important thing. One is a mass of influences, movements, forces, actions, reactions, but one is not the right kind a being. First of all one must become aware of what is highest, most true, most universal and eternal in one's consciousness. To willtruly, you must unify your being. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/29-september-1954#p42,p43</ref><ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/8-power then if december-1954#p20,p21,p22,p23</ref> ===Divine Will beneath Individual Will=== It isn’t you, this energy which is in you, this will which is in you, this knowledge which is in you, all this is the Divine; it increases fatigue—probably they use some fighting is not what you call yourself. This is admitting that it’s another force than their own small personal one which does things. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/9-november-1955#p5</ref> And when you have a will, you will be able to say, say to the Divine:”I want what You want.” But not before that. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/29-september-1954#p42,p43</ref> The supramental being sees things from above in large spaces, at the highest from the spaces of the infinite, can see in the continuities of time or effortful from above time in the indivisibilities of the Spirit. He sees truth in its proper order first in the essence, secondly in the potentialities that derive from it and only last in the actualities. He is able to have a larger will-power instead founded on a larger knowledge. He sees things not from outside and judged by their surfaces, but from within and viewed from the truth of their centre; therefore he is nearer the quiet but strong will that calls down divine omniscience. He wills and acts from a dominating height and with a longer movement in time and a larger range of potencies, therefore he is nearer to the higher consciousness and forcedivine omnipotence. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3124/vigilancethe-resolutionsupramental-willthought-and-the-divine-helpknowledge#p44 p18</ref>

It is said that one only does well what one is interested in doing. This is true, but it is truer still that one can learn to find interest in everything one does, even in what appear to be the most insignificant chores.

Whatever occupation or task falls to your lot, you must do it with a will to progress; whatever one does, one must not only do it as best one can but strive to do it better and better in a constant effort for perfection. In this way everything without exception becomes interesting, from the most material chore to the most artistic and intellectual work. The scope for progress is infinite and can be applied ===Will to the smallest thing. <ref>http://incarnateword.Progress in/cwm/12/the-four-austerities-and-the-four-liberations#p18 </ref>Physical===

There are defects in your vital nature which stand in the way of a settled spiritual progress: but they can be eliminated if, dropping all exaggerated ideas of "sin" and unfitness, you look quietly at them and recognise and reject them. Tranquillise in yourself all over-eager demands and desires, all excitement and exaggeration of opposite feelings and impulses; seek first intensity of devotion but also calm strength, purity and peace.
