Q: For the last few days, the mind seems to be losing its power of direction and my being is driven by all sorts of undesirable impulses and doing things suggested by the ordinary forces.
It is probably due to the mental control being removed — what is acting in the things you mention is not the mind but the vital and physical consciousness.
Q: What should take the place of the removed mental control?
The psychic or spiritual control.
Q: What is meant by the spiritual control?
The control from the higher Consciousness above the ordinary mental.
– Sri Aurobindo
