A Question and an Answer

The pain of not being what one wants to be

because one doesn’t want it all the time.

The pain of knowing what is right

and not being able to live that

because not all of one wants that.

O Mother, how does one overcome

this dominating vital?

What if one has not reached a point

where the psychic interest will supersede all else?

Just be quiet and do what has to be done.

Do not worry about the motivation.

Just do it with discipline and perfection –

with discipline for perfection.

And do it especially in all the daily things –

all the things little – common.

Your discipline will raise them

to a different height

and with it will rise your vital.

The interest will grow and then a passion,

then, perfection would be a passion,

and the rest will flow.

Just begin and leave the rest to Me.
