Hostile forces attack every sadhak; some are conscious of it, others are not. Their object is either to influence the person or to use him or to spoil his sadhana or the work or any other motive of the kind. Their object is not to test, but their attack may be used by the guiding power as a test.

There is always this critical hostile voice in everybody's nature,
questioning, reasoning, denying the experience itself, suggesting doubt
of oneself and doubt of the Divine. One has to recognise it as the voice
of the Adversary trying to prevent the progress and refuse credence to
it altogether.

There are no sadhaks who are never attacked by wrong forces — but if one has a complete faith and self-consecration, one can throw off the attack without too much difficulty.

If the faith and surrender are complete in all parts of the being then there can be no attack. If there is a strong central faith and surrender at all times, there can be attacks but the attacks will have no chance of success.
