The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

Q: There is a revolt in the being. Why has it come about?

There are also lots of suggestions. It is because of the struggle in the physical and because there is still something in you that feels the struggle and so the adverse Forces want to press till you revolt. But how is it that any part of you gives any value to the suggestions? If no part gives any value then surely they must seem to you too laughable and contemptible to have any effect or power to make you revolt. If you attach no value to the suggestions then, there may be the inertia still, but not this.

– Sri Aurobindo
