Chapter 53Openness and Receptivity
Book 3. Part Three: Elements of Yoga
OPENNESS Openness is the will to receive and to utilise for progress the force and influence; the constant aspiration to remain in touch with the Consciousness; the faith that the force and consciousness are always with you, around you, inside you and that you have only to let nothing stand in the way of your receiving them.
* Opening is a release of the consciousness by which it begins to admit into itself the workings of the Divine Light and Power.
* Open to the consciousness which is working on and in you and keep always as quiet and peaceful as you can.
*
I pray that I may serve you consciously and sincerely, without the least encroachment or hampering by the ego, and be inspired by you in everything.
Open yourself more and more to the Consciousness and you will receive inspiration.

* The opening to the Divine Light cannot be made through coercion.
