Run down

Sometimes, one attracts periods of difficulty.
In the 1930's, a student visiting Mr. Gurdjieff at his hotel in New York,
noticed his clothes looked shabby, he was trailing cigarette ash on his
clothing, for a period, he even had no pupils, or very few.
They noted "Things seemed to be running down" for Gurdjieff.
Also, he did not seem to be fighting it, but accepted this as a phase.
He had made the initial huge efforts to introduce the Fourth Way to the west,
but any process does eventually reach a moment of pause.
