Sri Aurobindo’s and the Mother’s guidance to the disciples on Faith and its importance in Yoga.
The peculiar character of our age is the divorce, says Sri Aurobindo, that has been pronounced between reason and faith, the logical mind and the intuitive heart. At first, the declaration of war between them was attended by painful struggles, a faith disturbed or a scepticism dissatisfied. But now their divorce has created exaggerated tendencies which impoverish human life by their mutual exclusiveness, on the one side a negative and destructive critical spirit, on the other an imaginative sentiment which opposes pure instinct and a faith founded on dreams to the sterile fanaticism of the intellect. Yet a real divorce is impossible. Science could not move a step without faith and intuition and today it is growing full of dreams.
“Strive exclusively to hear the command of the Supreme Lord, and if you are perfectly sincere, He will find a way to make you hear and recognise this command with certainty.” (The Mother)
