Manifold Experiences The Mother went to Japan in 1916. She sojourned there for about four years. But the contact with Sri Aurobindo remained. She would also write to him about her experiences. About one of them he said that it was "Vedic in the real sense". About the Mother's Prayers Sri Aurobindo says: "The Prayers are mostly written in an identification with the earth consciousness. It is the Mother in the lower nature addressing the Mother in the higher nature, the Mother herself carrying on the Sadhana of the earth consciousness for the transformation..."

Working for the Earth-Consciousness The Mother returned to Pondicherry in 1920, on the 24th of April. Sri Aurobindo has said, "Sadhana and the work were waiting for the Mother's coming". Page-78 .Sadhana and the work were waiting for the Mother's coming. Sri Aurobindo * Sri Aurobindo's work is a unique earth-transformation. My work is... to bring down a higher spiritual light and power of a higher character which will make a radical change in the earth-consciousness. Sri Aurobindo * .. .anyone who wants to change earth-nature must first ac

The Mother Divine In 1926, Sri Aurobindo gave the Mother the full charge of the Ashram. She looked after the material needs of the aspirants, assigned to them their work, helped them in their daily activities and guided them in their spiritual progress. Page-102 The One whom we adore as the Mother is the divine Conscious Force that dominates all existence.... The Mother is the consciousness and force of the Supreme and far above all she creates. Sri Aurobindo * Nothing can be here or elsewhere but what she decides and the Supreme sanctions; nothing can take shape except what she moved by the Supreme perceives

Exploring Hidden Domains Part of the Mother's work consisted in the exploration and mastering of the hidden domains of consciousness. There are very few people who know that there exists in the universe an infinite number of gradations and that each one of these gradations has its own reality, its own life, its own law, its own determinism.... * An integral knowledge demands an exploration, an unveiling of all the possible domains of consciousness and experience. For there are subjective domains of our being which lie behind the obvious surface; these have to be fathomed and whatever is ascertained must be admi

Growing Consciously The Mother was conscious from her very childhood. The Divine puts on an appearance of humanity, assumes the outward human nature in order to tread the path and show it to human beings, but does not cease to be the Divine. It is a manifestation that takes place, a manifestation of a growing divine consciousness, not human turning into divine. Sri Aurobindo Page-3 Mother, When You were small, in Your childhood, did You know that You were the incarnate Divine? I was conscious. Page-4 The Mother had been sp

Meeting Sri Aurobindo The Mother came to Pondicherry in 1914 to meet Sri Aurobindo. She says: "As soon as I saw Sri Aurobindo I recognised in him the well-known being whom I used to call Krishna.... And this is enough to explain why I am fully convinced that my place and my work are near him in India. " Page-40 November 19, 1912 I said... that I had definitively found Thee, that the Union was constant. Such is indeed the state of which I am conscious. All my thoughts go towards Thee, all my acts are consecrated to Thee; Thy Presence is for me an absolute, immutable, invariable fact, and Thy Peace dwells constantly in my

If you could make yourselves entirely pure instruments, things would go better. Sri Aurobindo The Instrument The Master, the Worker and the Instrument In thy works there are always these three, the Master, the Worker and the Instrument. To define them in oneself rightly and rightly possess them is the secret of works and of the delight of works.     Learn thou first to be the instrument of God and to accept thy Master. The instrument is this outward thing thou callest th
