The Soul (the Psychic)

The soul is that which comes out of the Divine without ever leaving Him and goes back to Him without ever ceasing from manifestation.

The soul is the Divine made individual without ceasing to be divine. In the soul the individual and the Divine are eternally one.

Thus to find one’s soul is to be united with the Divine.

It can therefore be said that the role of the soul is to make of man a true being.


Theories differ according to schools and sects, and each one puts forth excellent reasons to support what it asserts.

There is certainly truth in whatever one affirms and any case is not only possible but has existed in the history of the earth.

The only thing I can speak of is my own experience: the soul is divine, an eternal portion of the Supreme Divine and therefore cannot be limited or bound by any law whatever, other than its own.

These souls are emanated by the Lord to do His work in the world and each one comes upon earth with a special purpose, for a special action and with a special destiny, carrying in itself its own law which is imperative for itself alone and cannot be a general law.

Thus, in the eternity of becoming, any case imaginable or unimaginable must evidently exist.


The soul is eternal and universal, and all these incapacities and impossibilities have no reality for it.

When one speaks to the soul of a man, one always speaks to the same soul, whatever may be the differences of body, race or culture.

The soul cannot think the Divine but knows Him with certitude.

Your soul blossoms to the Light as a flower opens to the sun.

What is soul and in what form does it exist in us?


The first form of the soul is a spark of light from the Divine.

By evolution it becomes an individualised being and then it can take the form it wants.

The mind, the life and the body must become and live what the Soul knows and is.


When one has an awakened soul, it is not easy to get rid of it; so it is better to obey its orders.


Obey your soul, it alone has the right to govern your life.


Psychic centre: luminous and calm, it is made to govern the human being.


The psychic gets its power of expression when it governs the whole being.


The psychic power organises the activities of the nature to make them progress.


Under the psychic influence all activity becomes balanced.


The psychic influence compels the physical to turn towards the Divine.

Let this house be a symbol of the psychic, the temple of the eternal divine Presence.


Live in the consciousness of the psychic centre; thus your will will express the Divine’s Will alone and your transformed being will then be able to receive and manifest the Divine Love.

25 September 1934

The centre of the human being is the psychic which is the dwelling-place of the immanent Divine. Unification means organisation and harmonisation of all the parts of the being (mental, vital and physical) around this centre, so that all the activities of the being may be the correct expression of the will of the Divine Presence.


Unless and until the whole of the individual consciousness is organised around the central Divine Presence, the movements are fugitive, although recurrent, and we cannot expect them to have any permanence.


Nothing is permanent in a terrestrial being except the psychic.

Sweet Mother,

What is the difference between the psychic change and the spiritual change?


The psychic change is the change that puts you in contact with the immanent Divine, the Divine who is at the centre of each being and of whom the psychic being is the sheath and the expression. By the psychic change one passes from the individual Divine to the universal Divine and finally to the Transcendent.

The spiritual change puts you directly in contact with the Supreme.

Sweet Mother,

What is the role of the soul?


But without the soul we wouldn't exist!

The soul is that which comes from the Divine without ever leaving Him, and returns to the Divine without ceasing to be manifest.

The soul is the Divine made individual without ceasing to be divine.

In the soul the individual and the Divine are eternally one; therefore, to find one's soul is to find God; to identify with one's soul is to unite with the Divine.

Thus it may be said that the role of the soul is to make a true being of man.

Sweet Mother,

/What exactly is the soul or psychic being? And what is meant by the evolution of the psychic being?

What is its relation to the Supreme?


The soul and the psychic being are not exactly the same thing, although their essence is the same.

The soul is the divine spark that dwells at the centre of each being; it is identical with its Divine Origin; it is the divine in man.

The psychic being is formed progressively around this divine centre, the soul, in the course of its innumerable lives in the terrestrial evolution, until the time comes when the psychic being, fully formed and wholly awakened, becomes the conscious sheath of the soul around which it is formed.

And thus identified with the Divine, it becomes His perfect instrument in the world.
