The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

The notion of what is good for a being and what isn’t is not the same to his evolved consciousness as to the divine consciousness. What appears to you good, favourable, is not always what’s best for you from a spiritual point of view. It is this which must be learnt from the beginning, that the divine perception of what will lead you fastest to the goal is absolutely different from yours, and that you cannot understand it. That is why you must say to yourself from the beginning, “It is all right. I shall accept everything and I shall understand later on.”
