Aspiration in everyone, no matter who it is, has the same power. But
the effect of this aspiration is different for aspiration is aspiration: if you
have aspiration, in itself it has power. Only, this aspiration calls down for
an answer, and this answer, the effect, which is the result of the aspiration,
depends upon each one, for it depends upon his receptivity. I know many people
of this kind they say" Oh! I aspire all the time and still I receive
nothing." It is impossible that they should receive nothing, in the sense
that the answer is sure to come. But it is they who do not receive. The answer
comes but they are not receptive, so they receive nothing.
When you have an aspiration, a very active aspiration,
your aspiration is going to do its work. It is going to call down the answer to
what you aspire for. But if, later, you begin to think of something else or are
not attentive or receptive, you do not even notice that your aspiration has
received an answer. This happens very frequently. So people tell you: “I aspire
and I don't receive anything, I get no answer!" Yes, you do have an answer
but you are not aware of it, because you continue to be active in this way,
like a mill turning all the time.
