It is now necessary that I drop my mental as completely as possible. So She wants it. But it is not easy and for a time I shall stop formulating what is going on with me. This will help me. I want just to live in self-giving only, just to close my eyes and plunge myself into Her.
There are such wonderful articles in all three monthlies and quarterlies, Advent, Bulletin
and Mother India, that I am sending you the last number of Mother India too. And from the
Advent I am copying here a few sentences from the Mother that have for me a special value:
Perfect surrender
Three figures of total self-giving to the Divine:
(1) To prostrate at His feet giving up all pride in perfect humility.
(2) To lay down one's being before Him, to open out the whole body from
head to foot, as one opens a book, spreading out the centres in order to make all their movements visible, with a full sincerity that permits nothing to remain hidden.
(3) To nestle in His arms, melt in Him with a loving and absolute trust. These movements may be accompanied with three formulas or anyone of them, according to the case:
(1) Let Thy Will be done, not mine.
(2) As Thou wilt; as Thou wilt.
(3) I am Thine for eternity.
Generally, when these movements are done rightly, they are followed by complete identification, the dissolution of the ego, bringing the sublime Felicity.
