--- NOTES
so, I was trying to work on L001.002 - Concentration, but hitting a wall and feel like this one comes first. If the fire is flickering, nothing of substance can get done it seems. Its tricky confusing aspiration and vital aswell.

--- DEFINITIONS
Aspiration is a call to the Divine, will is the pressure of the conscious force on Nature. ~ Sri Aurobindo, Letters On Yoga - II,

Aspiration is a turning upward of the inner being with a call, yearning, prayer for the Divine, for the Truth, for the Consciousness, Peace, Ananda, Knowledge, descent of Divine Force or whatever else is the aim of one's endeavour. ~ The Mother

The aspiration is always the sign of the possibility and perseverance leads to the certitude of the realisation. ~ The Mother,

--- MERITS / IMPORTANCE
The greater his aspiration and concentration, the more he finds the Eternal. ~ Sri Ramakrishna

Whosoever can cry to the All-Powerful with sincerity and an intense passion of the soul has no need of a Master. But so profound an aspiration is very rare; hence the necessity of a Master. ~ Sri Ramakrishna

These ideas of incapacity are absurd, they are the negation of the truth of progress - what cannot be done today, will be done another day, if the aspiration is there. ~ The Mother, Words Of The Mother - II,

It [the higher consciousness] may not come exactly according to the aspiration, but the aspiration is not ineffective. It keeps the consciousness open, prevents an inert state of acquiescence in all that comes and exercises a sort of pull on the sources of the higher consciousness. ~ Sri Aurobindo, Letters On Yoga - II,

Go on aspiring and the necessary progress is bound to come. ~ The Mother, Words Of The Mother - II,

When the aspiration is awake, each day brings us nearer to the goal.

A constant aspirations conquers all defects. With my Blessings. ~ The Mother, Mantras Of The Mother, May 21,

--- METHOD / WHAT
Daily we must aspire to conquer all mistakes, all obscurities, all ignorances.

We must always aspire to be free from all ignorance and to have a true faith.

--- METHOD / HOW
One has only to aspire sincerely and keep oneself as open as possible to the Mother's Force. Then whatever difficulties come, they will be overcome - it may take some time, but the result is sure. ~ Sri Aurobindo, Letters On Yoga - II,

It never does any harm to express an aspiration-that gives force to it. ~ The Mother, Words Of The Mother - II,

--- LIMITATIONS
Intense aspiration is always good, but let there also be calm and peace and joy in the mind and heart, and a confidence that all will be done in its due time. ~ Sri Aurobindo, Letters On Yoga - II,

--- UNSORTED IMPORTANT
Day after day our aspiration will grow and our faith will intensify.

1:aspiration and dryness :::
Naturally, the more one-pointed the aspiration the swifter the progress. The difficulty comes when either the vital with its desires or the physical with its past habitual movements comes in - as they do with almost everyone. It is then that the dryness and difficulty of spontaneous aspiration come. This dryness is a well-known obstacle in all sadhana. But one has to persist and not be discouraged. If one keeps the will fixed even in these barren periods, they pass and after their passage a greater force of aspiration and experience becomes possible. ~ Sri Aurobindo, Letters On Yoga - II,
