This happens because we are not made up of one piece. There are different parts in us and often they are in different degree of development. One may have faith in the heart but the mind may be full of doubts. In such an instance there may be periods, sometimes prolonged periods when consciousness shifts to the mind. This continues till the Divine Force working in the mind opens it to the Light. Then the heart comes back and with it the faith. So too when the consciousness dips into the lower vital or the physical there is a veiling of faith and aspiration.
These things happen to everybody. One has to learn to bounce back and walk again. During such periods one should simply call the Mother and practice equanimity until the storm passes away. One should learn to hold on and hold out until the clouds of doubt are scattered with the light of the Divine Sun and faith and aspiration returns. If faith and aspiration both are veiled pray, even you find difficult to pray or read or meditate, just call Her Name, Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa Maa. The power of Her Name will disperse every cloud and light and peace and faith will return again.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
