Thank you Alok da, “….The power of the vital should be mistrusted, it is a tempter on the path of the work, and there is always a risk of falling into its trap, for it gives you the taste of immediate results; and, in our first eagerness to do the work well, we let ourselves be carried away to make use of this power. But very soon it deflects all our action from the right course and introduces a seed of illusion and death into what we do.”
The Vital enjoys action for the sake of action. Its impetus is desire of one kind of the other. Though it starts with much apparent enthusiasm and sometimes fanfare. But the virus of desire and ambition soon creeps and usurps the action and diverts the action to personal purposes or brings a terrible mixture. Hence the advice of the Mother to distrust it.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
