On Sadhana

The sadhana is a difficult one and time should not be grudged; it is only in the last stages that a very great and constant rapidity of progress can be confidently expected.

– Sri Aurobindo

Impatience is always a mistake,  it does not help but hinders.  A quiet happy faith and confidence is the best foundation for sadhana; for the rest a constant opening wide of oneself to receive with an aspiration which may be intense, but must always be calm and steady.  Full yogic realization does not come all at once, it comes after a long preparation of the Adhar which may take a long time.– Sri Aurobindo
