Against the Divine is a hostile force
Once registered, offer from the root to all.
It creeps in, settles slowly, takes the mind control
Just a tiny hole and spreads in the whole.
Intentions, expressions or even thoughts,
Reactions, perceptions, actions get toxic from.
Awareness can point out whenever pops
Just a glance! Reject and let go to absolve.
In heightened state, before enters, can be caught
Pick, pluck or pamper! It can never be a permanent host.
Period!

The forces that stand in the way of sadhana are the forces of the lower mind, vital and physical nature. Behind them are adverse powers of the mental, vital and subtle physical worlds."
* Letters on Yoga, Cent. Ed., p. 635
"... there are all the difficulties of ignorance of the different states of being, to which are added the endless malice and the unbounded cunning of the hostile forces in the world."
* Questions and Answers 1950-51, M C W, Vol. 4, pp. 251-52
The reality of the Hostiles and the nature of their role and trend of their endeavour cannot be doubted by anyone who has had his inner vision unsealed and made their unpleasant acquaintance."
*Letters on Yoga, Part One, p. 24
It is known that there is a lower nature and a higher spiritual nature it is known that they pull different ways and the lower is strongest at first and the higher afterwards. It is known that the hostile Forces take advantage of the movements of the lower nature and try to spoil through them, smash or retard the siddhi.... But it has also always been known that those who are sincere and faithful in heart and remain so and those who rely on the Divine will arrive in spite of all difficulties, stumbles or falls."
* Letters on Yoga, Cent. Ed., p. 1731
You ought to realise that these things are attacks which come on you... When it comes, you have to realise that it is an attack and refuse instead of accepting it.... This state which tries to come upon you and seize is not part of your true self, but a foreign influence. To yield to it and to express it would therefore be not sincerity..."
*Ibid., pp. 1752, 1749
They [the hostile attacks on the outer being] are felt as suggestions, or a touch on the surface mind, vital, physical or as movements in the atmosphere (the personal or the general environmental consciousness) but for the inner being it is like gusts or storms outside. If they penetrate by chance into the house, they are immediately ejected and the doors and windows banged on them there is nothing that accepts them or tolerates them inside."
"The only way to fail in your battle with the hostile forces is not to have a true confidence in the divine help. Sincerity in the aspiration always brings down the required succour. A quiet call, a conviction that in this ascension towards the realisation you are never walking all alone and a faith that whenever help is needed it is there, will lead you through, easily and securely."
* Ibid., p. 1757
