The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

You said that you want to commune with the Divine with your whole being, including your physical consciousness, and for your body to be conscious of His presence. For that the vital and the mental also have to participate and say clearly that they too want what your soul wants and that they too surrender and are ready to obey the Divine command instead of always saying “no” and making their own decision and doing only what they please. Too many times they have written “no” to avoid writing even once “What You want, what You want”—to write this once and, if possible, to do it always.

And if this is still not clear to you, concentrate and go within into the silent depths of your being, where your soul is, and listen to it: it knows, it feels the love and tenderness that envelope and penetrate it. And it is grateful for all that helps it to open and overcome the resistance of the lower parts of the being.
