Even after putting a lot of effort, the results are sometimes negative or very small. I know that there are difficulties every year, but I feel that this year it is more so. What could be the reason behind this?
The difficult period or challenging times began around 2018 and will continue till 2030 as part of the preparation for the New Creation. It has been intensifying more and more since 2020, each year, a little bit upscaled in some way or another. It is not unique to you, but yes, the intensification is felt more by some and at certain periods of time. But it is with everyone.
The reason is that it is the Hour of God, an evolution fast forward. It is disorienting and disconcerting for the moment, but it will end up purifying us of all that is insincere, removing the dead points of resistance and opening us more and more to the Truth that is working dynamically upon earth to reshape it. Here is what Sri Aurobindo and the Mother wrote about the century that lay before them. 2025 is only a brief scene of the picture that started more than a hundred years ago.
‘Mother,
In 1919 Sri Aurobindo wrote that the chaos and the calamities were perhaps the pangs of the birth of a new creation. How long are these pangs going to continue—in the Ashram, in India and eventually in the world?
It will continue until the world is ready and willing to receive the new creation; the consciousness of this new creation is already at work upon earth since the beginning of this year.
If, instead of resisting, the people were collaborating, it would go quicker.
But stupidity and ignorance are very obstinate.
Love and blessings.

Sweet Mother,
In “The Hour of God” Sri Aurobindo has written: “There are moments when the Spirit moves among men and the breath of the Lord is abroad upon the waters of our being; there are others when it retires and men are left to act in the strength or the weakness of their own egoism”1 and in one of your letters, you have said that one must not rely on one’s ego but on the psychic. Mother, will you explain this to me?
It so happens that we are not in an age when men have been left to their own means. The Divine has sent down His Consciousness to give them light. All who are able to do so should profit by it.
Blessings.
