There are always forces above and around us
upon which we can draw upon -
draw into ourselves to restore,
to fill up again with strength and faith and joy
and the power that perseveres and conquers.
It is really a habit that one has to get
of opening to these helpful forces
and either passively receiving them or actively drawing upon them -
for one can do either.
It is easy if you have the conception of them above and around you
and the faith and the will to receive them;
for that brings the experience and the concrete sense of them
and the capacity to receive at need or at will.
It is a question of habituating your consciousness
to get into touch and to keep in touch
with these helpful forces;
and for that you must accustom yourself to reject
the impressions forces upon you by others.
-M. P. Pandit
