Guilt is the result of the action of adverse forces that make our difficulties seem insurmountable as if there was anything really impossible for the Grace.
Where human efforts fail, there a new journey begins. It is the journey of Divine Love, of Divine Grace. It is understood and Sri Aurobindo has very clearly said so that no human power or tapasya can accomplish the change envisaged by the Integral Yoga except the Divine Mother and Her illimitable Grace. But one has to endure the process with faith and complete trust in the Divine and to go on rising up a thousand times or more if need be.
The journey is never smooth or easy. But every fall leaves us somewhat stronger and wiser and if we keep the will for progress intact then one day we rise never to fall again. Meanwhile each little step, however small and sometimes even however paradoxical it may seem is a step towards the Goal.
