The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

When one is perplexed, when one has to make a choice, when one doesn’t know what the right thing to do is—you see, one has to choose among two or three or four possible decisions and doesn’t know which is the right one, then one must put himself as far as possible in contact with his psychic being and the divine Presence in him, present the problem to this psychic consciousness and ask for the true light, the true decision, the one most in accordance with the divine Will, and try to listen and receive the inspiration.
