Love, in its essence and in its origin, is like a white flame obliterating ALL resistances. You can have the experience yourself: whatever the difficulty in your being, whatever the weight of accumulated mistakes, the ignorance, incapacity, bad will, a single SECOND of this Love - pure, essential, supreme - melts everything in its almighty flame. One single moment and an entire past can vanish. One single TOUCH of That in its essence and the whole burden is consumed page 20 , Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 10th Jan. 1961 |

And when the day comes for the manifestation of supreme Love - a
crystalized, concentrated descent of supreme Love - that will truly be
the hour of Transformation, for nothing will be able to resist That.
But as it's all-powerful, a certain receptivity must be prepared
on earth so its effects are not devastating. Sri Aurobindo has explained
it in one of his letters. Someone asked him, 'Why doesn't this Love
come now?', and he replied something like this: If divine Love in its
essence were to manifest on earth, it would be like an explosion; for
the earth is not supple enough or receptive enough to widen to the
measure of this Love. The earth must not only open itself but become
wide and supple. Matter - not just physical Matter, but the substance of
the physical consciousness as well - is still much too rigid. page 21 , Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 10th Jan. 1961 |
Love is not sexual intercourse. Love is not vital attraction and interchange. Love is not the heart's hunger for affection. Love is a mighty vibration coming straight from the One. And only the very pure and very strong are capable of receiving and manifesting it. Then an explanation on what I mean by "pure," the very pure and very strong: To be pure is to be open only to the Supreme's influence, and to no other. Far more difficult than what people consider purity to be! Which is something quite artificial and false. page 319 , Mother's Agenda , volume 4 25th Sep 1963 |
If divine Love were to descend first, before divine Truth, certain beings with a special power or receptivity might draw it into themselves, personally, and then all those wrong impulses might occur.[["Otherwise Love itself blinded by the confusions of this present consciousness may stumble in its human receptacles and, even otherwise, may find itself unrecognised, rejected or rapidly degenerating and lost in the frailty of man's inferior nature." ]] But if this divine Love descends only in the Truth, in the Truth-Consciousness, it will enter someone only if that person is ready to receive it. Without a preparation of Truth, there might occur a very powerful attraction of elements unable to keep that Love in its purity; whereas if the preparation of Truth has been done, with that preparation, It will CHOOSE, in order to manifest, the persons, the individualities, who are ready. page 336 , Mother's Agenda , volume 4 - 3rd Oct 1963 |
Unlike human love which is for some and not for the others, my love is for the Supreme Lord alone, but as the Supreme Lord is all, my love is for all equally. The Lord's love is equal, constant, all-embracing, immutable, eternal. page 131 - Mother's Agenda , volume 5 , 22nd Jul 1964 |
Human love, what people call "love," even at its best, even taking it in its purest essence, is something that goes to one person, but not to another: you love SOME people (sometimes even you love only certain qualities in some people); you love SOME people, and that means it's partial and limited. And even for those who are incapable of hatred there is a number of people and things that they are indifferent to: there is no love (in most cases). That love is limited, partial and defined. It's unstable, moreover: man (I mean the human being) is unable to feel love in a continuous way, always with the same intensity - at certain times, for a moment, it becomes very intense and powerful, and at other times it grows dim; sometimes, it falls completely asleep. And that's under the best conditions - I am not speaking of all the degradations, I am speaking of the feeling people call "love," which is the feeling closest to true love; that's how it is: partial, limited, unstable and fluctuating. page 133 - Mother's Agenda , volume 5 , 22nd Jul 1964 |
Love is the single, supreme means of manifestation. And Manifestation automatically implies unfolding. And this conception (because ail this is the way in which the human consciousness is able to approach things), this conception of an eternal simultaneousness - an eternal, coexistent simultaneousness - is a very clumsy and human translation of the state of nonmanifestation. Because Manifestation automatically implies unfolding: without unfolding there is no Manifestation. But human thought, even speculative thought, is so clumsy and childish; it always confuses the two notions: the notion of unfolding and the notion of the unforeseen or unexpected; the notion of unfolding and the notion of the "new" creation, of something that is created and was not - all this is so ... (Mother knocks her papers across the table). You see (laughing), my things are protesting! page 262 - Mother's Agenda , volume 5 , 30th Oct - 1964 |
A little later, regarding another note: "In spiritual life, one is always a virgin every time ... I never sent it. It was someone (a Frenchwoman) who had a rather curious experience and wrote to me she had suddenly felt that, in love, she was a virgin when she met me, and that it was with a virgin's love that she came to me. So I answered, because it's true:"... one is always a virgin every time one awakens to a new love, for in each case it is a new part of the being, a new state of being that awakens to divine Love." I wrote it, but didn't send it. page 119 - Mother's Agenda , volume 6, 5th June - 1965 |
