Part 2~Dyuman’s Correspondence with the Mother
My dear Mother,
I read Sri Aurobindo’s notice about You. I read it again and then read it once more.
My Lord, the Mother has no rest; may she have some. Lord, grant that wherever I go and move and work, there may be nothing but peace and happiness.
My dear Mother, this is my humble prayer to the Divine: may You have rest.
Just now, I am resting quite all right. Surely the best way to help is, indeed, to be peaceful and happy. And if peace and happiness were spread in the Ashram much of the work would be saved.
Our love and blessings are always with you.

My dear Mother,
Ah, the moment we remain fully conscious and vigilant, all our difficulties vanish—they cannot stand! It is impossible for them to face the flaming fire of the Divine. Grant me full consciousness, complete vigilance and that flaming fire.
Surely you will have more and more the divine fire of progress and purification burning in your heart.
With our love and blessings.

My dear Mother,
Happy am I that You are in my heart; Your Love and Light surround me.
Yes, I am always in your heart and the peace, protection and help are constantly surrounding you.
With love and blessings.

My dear Mother,
This evening at 8 p.m. a very strong giddiness came in my head and began to make me unconscious. I sat down for a few minutes and it passed away.
Why do such things happen? I know why: in 1935 we enter the Eternal Consciousness, a consciousness of complete peace, joy, harmony and happiness. In order to obstruct this, such things come.
To be quiet and fearless is the condition in which these adverse forces can do no harm at all.
Always with you.

My dear Mother,
F has taken so many photos and there is now an album. People ask me: “Where are you?” I answer: “In the heart of the Mother.”
I have only one place, and it is Your heart.
My dear child,
Well, you have lost nothing from not being photographed because the photos are far from good!
And surely it is better to be in my heart (where you actually are) than in an album…

My dear Mother,
G has not taken her evening food, for reasons she knows. I do not know, but most probably I am the culprit.
I do not think you are the culprit. I must be the culprit because she wanted to embroider a crown for me in gold and I said that I had no gold thread that I could give, which is the plain truth.
All these moods are absurd, and the best thing is not to mind them at all. A perfect equanimity is the strongest power.
19 December 1934
*
My dear Mother,
May G have submission and love for the Divine, may she be filled with gratitude, may she progress in the sadhana.
I shall add: may she have a simple humility, because that is what she needs most.
The Divine Grace is infinite. O Mother, grant me a perfect receptivity. I give myself to the Divine.
Yes, my dear child, it is with the widening of the consciousness and the one-pointedness of the aspiration that the receptivity increases.
23 December 1934
*
My dear Mother,
I don’t know how far it is true, but I feel that I am a being who has come down upon earth and taken up the human form only to manifest the Divine Will. I am eternal, unborn and immortal.
Let me tell You, after having this consciousness I feel myself untouched by anything and I find the strength of the lower life completely broken.
Your consciousness is quite true and I am happy you have come to realise this. Keep this consciousness in all humility towards the Divine because such is the condition of an integral realisation.
Our blessings are with you.
23 December 1934
*
My dear Mother,
May You rest, and the best way of giving You rest is for me to rise above the lower nature and progress in the Divine Light so that I may live only as a spark and ray of the Light.
If each inmate determines to do this and progresses, surely, my dear Mother, You will have more rest and ease.
You are quite right, the only thing that can give me rest is that each one should take the right attitude and progress.
I am much better today.
With love and blessings always.
25 December 1934
*
My dear Mother,
Seeing You this evening, this prayer arose in me so fervently: “O Lord, may my Mother get completely cured tonight.” Surely had we been devoted to You, a collective prayer and aspiration would have arisen, instead of sneezing, yawning and coughing. How nicely we receive You! You appear on the steps, and we begin this noise.
My dear Mother, may a collective and concentrated will be created, a will consecrated to the Divine for the manifestation of the Divine Love.
My very dear child, yes it is quite sure; if many could think and feel like you, things would become so much easier and so much time would be saved!
All love to you.

Mother,
H takes extra bread and gives it to the gardener and his daughters. He gets slices from the tiffin-carriers of others and this too he gives to them. If he asks for more slices, it is secretly for this purpose. I do not think we can allow such things to develop.
Give him the number of slices he used to take and nothing more. If he asks why, you have only to answer, “Mother’s orders.”
c. 1934
*
Mother,
People are complaining about milk spilling in the tiffin-carriers. When the carriers are opened, we fill them like this: bread comes first and we put it in the bottom pot. Then come the vegetables; we put them in the next pot. Last of all comes the milk and it goes in the top pot. Now when the carriers are sent off on the cart, the milk sometimes drops down by the jerks of the cart and spoils the vegetables and bread. So people have begun to ask for the milk to be served in the bottom pot. This means at least four times the labour and time for the workers.
In my heart I feel that if we give food, why not give it in a better condition? But my mind refuses to yield; it says that those who are so particular should come and take away their carriers themselves.
Mother, please decide for me.
It seems to me that it is only a question of organisation of the work. Why not have all the pots of each tiffin-carrier spread in a row, in the order in which they have to be placed afterwards, like this: 1 2 3 4 (1 is top, 4 is bottom)?
Logically, 1 must contain bread
2 ” ” vegetables
3 ” ” rice
4 ” ” milk or curds
Each thing is served in the corresponding pot as soon as it is ready (that is to say, bread first, vegetables afterwards, etc.) and the tiffin-carriers are remounted only when all is served, which allows the milk to be put at the bottom.
I hope I have been clear in my explanation about how to deal with the tiffin-carriers. Of course two minutes’ practical demonstration of how to do it would make it clearer and easier to understand. If something is still obscure, I shall call you and explain how to do it. The only objection you can make to my proposal is the space needed to spread 50 to 60 tiffin-carriers. But perhaps it is quite possible to manage the required space.

My dear Mother,
The old plantain-vendor has vacated the market and a new man has opened a shop now. This morning the old vendor sent the plantains directly to us and he wants to continue this way. But when I went to the market I saw the new merchant. He will bring the rate down to 10 annas per 100 plantains; this includes home-delivery and the selection is ours. The old vendor was charging 12 annas for 100, plus coolie charges.
It is better to put them in competition with one another, not only for price (I do not see why we should pay more than 10 annas when we can have them at that price) but also for quality. And for that we must try the new man and see how he behaves with us and what is the quality of his goods.

My dear Mother,
J is suffering badly from cough and has a fever, so she has become weak. I think perhaps, it would be better if she does not move out much and takes rest.
The remaining at home brings depression and it is the worst thing for this illness—but she must not do hard work, and remain in the sun and the open air as much as possible.
3 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Today K cried and cried for one hour in my room, for reasons I do not know.
If only she wrote about it and said the reason—if there is any—of such an upsetting, she would be cured at once.
5 January 1935
*
Dear Mother,
Serving food to the inmates after fixed hours: for the late-comers, breakfast goes up to 10.30 a.m., lunch up to 3.30 p.m. and dinner up to 9.30 p.m. There are nearly 40 late-comers. And they go on asking for slices of bread. People take more slices on one day and the next day they return them. What shall we do with the slices afterwards?
Dear Mother, money-lending is also going on in the Ashram! I thought that You alone deal in money.
Yes, people are irregular, fanciful, unscrupulous, undisciplined, disobedient… but there is only to keep a steady, quiet will and to be patient—and that will come to an end, one day.
I am always with you in your advance towards realisation.
7 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The condition of milk: we are not sure of receiving the required amount of milk in the morning, yet people come forward to take 2 or 3, even 4 cups of milk in the morning. This makes the D. R. workers nervous and anxious about the noon-time distribution of milk. Suppose I get 3 cups of milk for the whole day, and I begin to take 2 cups at one time—it creates a disturbance in the distribution for the D. R.
I understand that it is very difficult for the people who serve and that the inmates are very exacting—but on their side is it not that the servers are anxious more for their own convenience than for that of the others?
My dear Mother, I ask for more patience, more quietness, more peace and for a more perfect equanimity.
Yes—for the growth of equanimity one must learn to see things from many points of view and especially from the point of those who oppose us—not in order to agree with them but to understand better their point of view. Let the peace and a quiet strength always inhabit your heart and your head.
11 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Make me constantly a sadhak of the yoga. May I remain a sadhak all the time and not only when I come to You for Pranam.
Indeed this is a very important thing for everybody.
With all love and blessings.
11 January 1935
*
Dear Mother,
On this coming Wednesday, we are thinking of preparing Halwa. Now that it is a routine dish, shall I try it once without cashew-nuts and raisins?
Will it not be a little tasteless?
19 January 1935
*
Dear Mother,
My love for You is too little, too shallow. My self-offering and devotion are too flat and full of turmoil. My consciousness is too clouded, not clear and transparent.
My dear Mother, I know this, yet I know also: there is a certitude of Victory and Realisation.
It is all right to see the imperfections and deficiencies but only on condition that it brings a greater courage for a new progress, an increase of energy in the determination, and a stronger certitude of victory and future perfection.
Always with you.
21 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I have deceived myself and You all along; I am filled with imperfections and lower impulses. I boasted of my purity, but now I see that it was all boasting, full of pride and ego.
Dear Mother, make me vividly conscious of all my defects and imperfections. I lose neither courage nor heart or strength. My strength is You, and in You I rest.
Everything will be all right in time. There is only to keep up a patient aspiration and an unfailing confidence in the Divine Grace and its assured victory.
Always with you.
23 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
B saw the cupboard to be repaired and told me: “This is quite the old pattern; even if I repair it, it will not be safe. Ask the Mother for a new one.”
I told him: “I have no heart to reject the old one.”
He said: “It is your economic nature that goes on using the old one. Everybody is giving away the old furniture and is asking for new.”
My dear Mother, let us use what we have. This attitude of B is a very big drain on the Ashram energy.
Yes — it is quite a wrong attitude.
24 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
C told me: “Sometimes when the flow of Light comes down from above, I say: ‘Not now, let me finish this work.’”
I said: “Never do that. Receive it, welcome it, allow it to come. It is the physical consciousness that wants to have its own old nature.”
Surely what you said was right. Moreover with a little practice the light can be fully received and still the work go on. But this condition comes later.
With all love and blessings always.
28 January 1935
*
My dear Mother,
An Aroumé servant asked for half a day leave for tomorrow morning. I told D I need a replacement, but it seems he does not have sufficient hands and cannot spare a man. If a servant comes to do part of the work, it is all right. Otherwise, we can manage with what we have quite easily.
It is better to insist a little with D — the difficulties come from inadequate organisation and by insisting it obliges them to make an effort and the difficulties get solved.
6 February 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Now You know F’s absurdity, for she has written to You what she wanted to do today. I am happy that she is now free from that.
Sri Aurobindo has just read her letter to me — you did well to console her. These ideas of incapacity are absurd, they are the negation of the truth of progress. What cannot be done today, will be done another day — if the aspiration is there.
6 February 1935
*
My dear Mother,
F has gone into a state of depression and despondency. To imagine, to invent, to justify and assent to falsehoods as the Reality and Truth — this is a chronic disease with many of us. May this nature of purely vital ignorance and physical stupidity disappear from the Ashram.
Surely it will be a very good thing when all these ignorant depressions are chased away.
7 February 1935
*
My dear Mother,
What’s the matter in the Dining Room? Why do we take pleasure in coming into conflict with each other? Is there even one day that has passed peacefully until now? Why do we seek for power instead of consecrating ourselves at the feet of the Divine?
Save us, save us, O dear Mother.
There is only to be patient — all that will pass one day. Perhaps in the state of their present consciousness they would find life too dull without quarrels.
Since yesterday I have been thinking of taking up the serving and distribution of food.
I do not think it is possible. I do not like that you should be bound by a regular work like that one. The rest would suffer.
My dear Mother, grant me an absolute loving consecration to Thee. Make me Thy humble and docile servant. And wherever I am asked to serve, give me gentleness and peace. Teach me to be Thy docile servant.
Surely you will do more and more perfectly your service to the Divine.
9 February 1935
*
Dear Mother,
I am often called a “miser” because of my resistance to outer suggestions. I am a miser! If I become generous and lavish, as the inmates want me to be — which is absolutely impossible —we must put aside not 16 thousand rupees for food but 30 or 40 thousand rupees. How shall we do so?
You are quite right and I do not find you a miser.
If I listened to what the people say, we should have been ruined long ago.
My dear loving Mother, make me more and more true and faithful to Thee. O my dear Love, may the Divine Grace alone manifest.
You have chosen the right path. Do not mind what the others say.
In all love and trust.
10 February 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Today I experienced that wherever I turned my eyes, I found You claiming all; I left all, ran to You, Mother, called You, threw myself at Your Feet, and I had all, and You.
This is a very good experience.
My dear Mother, always Thy child, make me Thy child, a true child.
Yes, my true child whom I keep always in my arms.
12 February 1935
*
My dear Mother,
A display of tremendous energy: the lady workers of Aroumé worked from 5 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon. This is not the first time; once they worked from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at a stretch.
O my dear Mother, let the energy be consecrated to the Divine consciously; let it be a pure self-giving to the Divine.
Yes, with consecration the work can be done much more easily and happily. But nobody must be asked a greater effort than what he can do.
27 February 1935
*
O my dear Mother,
I am becoming more quiet and peaceful. It is peace and equanimity that have made my work easier and simpler and brought goodwill where there was bad will.
Yes, let the peace and the quietness settle more and more in you and everything will become easy in your work.
Always with you.
9 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The Aroumé servants are obedient and willing workers, never absent without informing me previously. Even when they are ill, they come and take leave. I think it is the result of my kind and gentle behaviour with them.
Yes, I am sure that servants behave according to the way they are treated.
10 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The negligence of G and H today reminded me of past cases where I and my fellow workers were treated like butlers and couriers. Happily, it passed away very quickly. We may not be close friends, but surely we have to co-operate fully in the work.
Yes, it is good to turn a difficulty into an occasion for a new progress.
With love and blessings always.
12 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
What should my attitude be towards F in her disturbances?
My dear Mother, let there be no attachment in me for others; let there be purely a goodwill and a heart filled with loving consecration to the Divine. If help of consolation comes from me, or rather through me, let it be purely a divine work.
Yes, it is like that that the help becomes true and effective.
To do at each moment the best we can and leave the result to the Divine’s decision, is the surest way to peace, happiness, strength, progress and final perfection.
With love and blessings always.
15 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
A complete reliance upon the Divine Grace alone gives peace, happiness and joy. That is because the Divine Himself takes up the devotee and carries him or her in His arms.
Yes, the Grace is infinite for one who sincerely trusts the Grace.
Always with you, my dear child.
15 March 1935
*
Dear Mother,
What about J? What work will he do? He has not spoken to me about anything.
He has not been accepted as a permanent member and that is why no work has been given to him. He is married and has children and he wanted to bring the whole lot here. He has always lived on K’s charity. We do not need this kind of people here.
21 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
A full trust and confidence in the Divine Love saves a sadhak from all dangers and difficulties and gives him happiness, peace and joy.
My dear Mother, grant me a force that brings an integral and complete self-giving to the Divine.
Yes, it is a sincere self-giving that saves one from all difficulties and dangers.
With love and blessings always.
28 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
L was getting suggestions that she would become mad. It seems that many people said to her: “Why do you laugh so much?”— even when she was not laughing. I told her: “These are suggestions thrown upon you; you are not like that. On the contrary, it is such a nice thing, this laughter, a sort of great release and liberation.”
Yes, she must not fear — it is all stupid suggestions and you spoke quite well.
31 March 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I want You to interfere in all my movements, whatever they are; and Your interference will be promptly responded to with love and submission, with an earnest will to change as You would like. I want You, I seek for You day and night, night and day — for Your Light, for Your Consciousness, for Your Force.
O Mother, come into my entire being, my smallest cell, the tiniest drop of my blood. Come, my dear Mother, and make the whole being Your seat.
My dear child, with all my love I take you in my arms as my own child and assure you that you will become more and more mine.
3 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
We have to find somebody for the washing and wiping of vessels. I do not know who it could be.
It seems to me that the only solution is that M should work himself, instead of throwing all the work upon others.
6 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
A big disturbance is hovering over the kitchen. Twice it appeared a few days back, but it was controlled. N has accused me directly of being unfair. I tried to explain to her each time, but the roots have not disappeared.
The best is to ignore all these petty things. To want only what the Divine wants in us and for us, is the only important thing.
6 April 1935
*
Dear Mother,
I thought I had a very pure relation with the inmates, but today I see that it was all humbug. There is a still greater purity to manifest and to live.
When I go deep down and analyse myself, I find the lower vital impulses, the animal impulses of ordinary human life and its instincts. These things have no strength to make me act physically but I understand now that they creep in and govern the lower vital nature in a very subtle polished form.
Yes, these things were to be seen. It is good that you have seen them; but now there is only to be quiet, happy and peaceful in a steady will that all the nature should be enlightened.
6 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Blessed be the day when there will be peace, gentleness, kindness and the manifestation of Love.
My dear Mother, may the Divine manifest.
I would say: may the world become aware that the Divine is manifesting!
8 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The kitchen has not yet finished its troubles, and now the serving section has begun.
We are not trained to resist all evil, nor disciplined enough to persist after the Truth, nor cultured enough to live a quiet and happy life.
Yes, the suggestion of disturbance and dissatisfaction has become very strong and many respond to it; but we have only to keep quiet, very quiet, more and more quiet as an answer to the growing restlessness and stand calmly until the storms are over.
It is only a perfect Peace that can overcome all these excited fits…
With all love and blessings always.
9 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Water supply: Aroumé consumes a good deal of water for drinking, cooking and washing. If it happens again like today that there is no water from the taps for many hours, what shall we do? We shall have to use the well. The water will be fetched from it, boiled, passed through a cloth and used for cooking, drinking and washing vessels.
It is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to use the well water (even boiled) for drinking — the well water of the town is contaminated by infiltrations — this means typhoid and cholera — and for cooking also it is impossible because the well water has a filthy taste and smell.
12 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
P bought some things last month and did not pay for them. Today R gave me the money to pay on her behalf. After that I began to think: so many people are buying things in their own capacity. Do they all pay cash or they remain as debtors? Can they not be stopped!
I have tried several times but never succeeded and the result was only that they began hiding things from me, which made their case much worse.
13 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Feeding animals in Aroumé: crows, squirrels, etc. come in a very big number. They not only eat up what is thrown to them by S, but also what is put for drying in the sun. Even they eat up raisins and cashew-nuts and spoil the sugar and such things, it is too much. I feel we should stop this feeding and lessen the number of animals in Aroumé.
Now that they have taken the habit of coming it may be difficult to stop them, but you may try.
21 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
More peace brings more Light, and that sets everything right. O Lord, more peace.
Yes, it is in peace that the knowledge and the power can manifest.
Always with you.
24 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
How is it that I read nothing, learn nothing! Some people learn languages, some learn painting, some learn singing; many read books on yoga and some are typing out Sri Aurobindo’s articles in “Arya”.
All that is for people who have a restless mind and need some mental occupation.
How is it I do nothing? This becomes a riddle to me at times, and I have no solution except this: it does not matter, let me have my Mother; it is quite sufficient if I have her.
This is surely the best.
Always with you, my dear child.
28 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
In advancing towards the realisation there might come difficulties. I pass over them as the Mother’s child; I begin the sadhana as a child of the Mother, I advance like that and even in fulfilment I remain Thy child, my dear Mother, a child of eternity.
Yes, you will always be my dear child and thus you will reach the realisation.
29 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Tomorrow I am finishing the medicine for boils. May this be the last medicine for me. O body consciousness, open yourself to the dear Mother and get yourself filled with her Love.
Yes, there comes a time when medicines are no more needed, but that means that the body consciousness is quite opened to the force from above and that a strong unwavering will is established in the material.
With all love and blessings to you, my dear child.
30 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I have seen this: the Ashram has no hostile forces; it is filled with the Mother. It is only when we open to these hostile forces, calling them in, that they come and disturb us. If we remained calm, quiet and open to the Divine alone, the life of the Ashram would undergo a very rapid transformation and there would be peace, joy and happiness.
This is quite true. The peace and the happiness are always there.
With you always.
30 April 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Peace and an unshakeable equanimity are the firm basis for happiness, joy and progress towards the Goal. May it increase in me, in all of us in the Ashram.
Our love and blessings are always with you, establishing equanimity as an indispensable basis for the Realisation.
2 May 1935
*
O my dear Mother,
My heart is filled with gratitude that You brought me here. You fished me out of the lower nature and kept me in the bosom of Your eternal love.
O my dear Mother, teach me to love Thee, to surrender to Thee; teach me to be Thine, more truly Thine.
Yes, I am keeping you in my arms and surrounding you with my love which united to your aspiration will take you to the goal.
6 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
In Aroumé there are a good number of people having moods; none can say when these moods will come — they come without any reason.
Moods are all over the Ashram — they come from the obscurity and bad will of the physical mind. When the physical mind will consent to open to the light all these moods will disappear.
With love and blessings always.
11 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Too frequently I meet people in their difficulties and bad conditions. In this state I go deep down within myself, and my being rises in a great and fervent prayer to You:
O my dear Mother, make me more and more selfless, completely selfless, filled only with Your Purity, Peace, Consciousness, Love and Light.
I am always with you and you will never call me in vain — our peace, love, help and protection will always answer to your call.
13 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
There is misuse of filtered water in Aroumé; people are taking too much water in their tumblers and then throwing it away. No external rule can alter the situation; there has to be a change of consciousness and a complete consecration to the Divine.
Surely you are quite right—but we have to provide until the change of consciousness takes place!
Herewith a notice that can be put in Aroumé and also here near the filter.
Always with you.
14 May 1935
*
Dear Mother,
When anything happens to the body, it loses courage at once and becomes weak, helpless and full of fear. In one word, there is no peace and equanimity in the body consciousness. Not only the body but the entire consciousness gets clouded and veiled; there is no remembrance of the Divine in the physical consciousness and it is this that catches the illness and prolongs it.
Yes, this is quite rightly observed—but to have become conscious of it is a big step towards a successful transformation of the body consciousness and the victory over illness.
My love and blessings are always with you.
15 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Unless the body consciousness opens and receives the Divine Light, Peace and Consciousness, nothing of permanence is achieved. The body is the base, and upon that base the Divine has to work and construct a building. However much the vital and the mental are open and receptive, nothing can be said to be permanent if the body is not stable.
I am glad that you had the experience of the necessity for the body to open and to receive the divine Light and Will, as the mind and the heart does. This will do much for the increase of the resistance to illness and the capacity of keeping good health.
I am always with you.
15 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I am always given to Thee and to Thy Work. Make me more quiet, make me rest in full peace amidst these hundredfold activities. I have to learn this more and more, and You have to teach me. Teach me, my dear Mother, to be more and more Thine.
Yes, I am always with you, teaching you the true action and the true consecration.
19 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The most important thing for me to do is to remain quietly happy, consecrated and concentrated on You, and to do what has to be done very sincerely and devotionally, not worrying about the future, but quietly aspiring very humbly before You.
Yes, this is the right attitude and the most sure way.
Always with you in an affectionate trust.
27 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
What did I see this evening when You were looking at me from Your window? I saw that my chest was as transparent as glass and that You were seeing Your own image there.
My dear Mother is always in my heart for eternity. My Mother, my Mother, my Mother.
This is a very beautiful and true experience. I am happy you had it. Yes, I am always in your heart — for ever with you.
28 May 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I fail to understand why there is so much antipathy against me in the Aroumé workers?
I do not think it is so bad as all that.
Three days back, as soon as I entered the Aroumé gate from the market, a force ran through my neck, saying: “It would have been better if you had died.”
Do not listen to all this rubbish. It does not come from the Aroumé workers, but from some hostile force that wants to upset you.
Yesterday when I was taking my lunch, a force wanted to send me away from Aroumé: “Go away, go away, you are not wanted here.”
Same explanation as above.
And now B tells me: “I shall not be able to cooperate with you in this way, nor shall I be able to work with you.” I do not even know what “way” he means.
My dear Mother, all is left to you. I rest happily and go to bed.
Yes, be quiet and do not worry about all that.
It is the same forces which want to make you believe that your co-workers hate you and make the others believe that you hate them. The mistake is to believe these forces—one ought always to answer them: No, it is not true, it cannot be.
Always with you, my dear child.

My dear Mother,
I thought that as I have grown bulky, I might not be able to work physically. But I find that I can work with a sustained energy, quietly and with a balanced mind. And I think You are quite happy to see me working.
Yes, I am very glad to see you working physically and am sure it will do you much good. I am glad also that your body is getting a little less thin. It was truly necessary to fill the holes!
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
30 May 1935

My dear Mother,
Today I heard C and D quarrelling. Afterwards, F told someone: “Prison life is easier than to work with C.”
Would it not be better if you spoke to D? If he is not satisfied, it is better for him to tell it frankly rather than to complain hidingly.
Always with you, my dear child.
1 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I have spoken to D very clearly: “Give dumb service; utter not a word even if there are whips on your back.”
If you mean that there must be no quarrels it is quite all right. But he must feel free to tell me what he has in his heart.
“Work can never be done if there is no discipline! The Mother knows very well the person in charge of the work, and those who work with him have to follow his instructions.” And he has agreed to that kind of work.
Let us see, my dear Mother. I wish that dumb service should be given to You by all of us.
I wanted to tell him also that if he has any complaint to make or if he is not satisfied with his work, it is to me that he must freely say so.
My love, blessings and trust are always with you, my dear child.
2 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I, who was so social and friendly to all, am becoming more reserved day by day and relate to others only for the work or for business. Often the suggestion has passed in me that even with those I am somewhat free with, I should relate just for the work.
This is not necessary nor even advisable. You must feel free to speak to them and help them when they need it. Go on with them as you do — it is all right.
Grant me the strength, my dear Mother, to remain quite faithful to the Divine Will.
Yes, the strength is always with you to be always faithful to the Divine Will.
2 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
There is not a single worker in Aroumé who has not shown his or her bright side — love, devotion and service to the Divine. That is the light which shines in each of us; that I adore and through it I always feel in harmony with the inmates. That is what I put in front in my dealings with them.
Good.
Difficulties each of us has, some more, some less, but it is foolish to have contempt for someone having troubles. On the contrary, a sympathetic heart must go out to them in all goodwill and kindness, to help them out of their difficulties.
What you say is quite right and with this attitude there is no doubt that, sooner or later, the difficulties will vanish.
All love and blessings to you my dear child.
4 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The work in our courtyard garden: as you saw, I can do good work as a coolie also, and though completely soiled with earth all over, I can remain Your child.
I was very pleased to see you enjoying your work. I hope you will rest very well this night and your body will get stronger and stronger.
I feel that it would be good for us inmates to do some sort of manual work — but the wish must come from within our hearts.
Yes, it is when it comes spontaneously from the good will of the heart that it is helpful in all ways.
I am quietly happy, with a greater confidence that the Divine Will is always victorious. The increased confidence gives me more strength, quietness, peace, patience and a force that serves the Divine Will.
Yes, with the growing confidence comes the growing force and the growing capacity to receive it.
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
6 June 1935
*
My dear, dear Mother,
I am happy with an increasing daily experience: My Mother is in my heart. She who supports me, guides me, loves me, She is the soul of this body and much more than that.
My dear Mother, I love You with all my heart.
Yes, you are truly in my arms, arms of love that always keep you close, very close to me.
6 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
At work two parties have formed — the quarrels go on daily and the smallest thing becomes a mountain. Both parties are quite dissatisfied with me because I do not take sides, I hear nobody and I put forth my case of peace and quietness.
What you are doing is quite all right. The most important thing is to keep an unshakeable quietude and peace. One day or another it will act upon them.
Desires, desires, have they no end? Yes, they have, the moment we turn towards the Divine and quietly aspire for Him, giving ourselves completely and sincerely to Him.
Yes, you are right. Keep a constant faith in the Divine’s final Victory.
7 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Where You are, I am. And I have no place to go except into Your loving and affectionate consciousness.
Yes, my dear child, your home is here and I am always with you.
7 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Things are becoming difficult to manage in Aroumé. The workers want to do things according to their wish and a sort of negligence has come into the work; there is idleness, laziness, indolence, unwillingness, etc. Sincerity is getting clouded everywhere.
Today a thought runs on and on in me: O Mother, tell me, how much am I responsible for this condition in Aroumé and the quarrels between the workers?
I do not see in what way you are responsible for that.
So often in recent days I was going to get entangled in the network of bad disturbances, but as yet I have resisted it firmly. Now I ask for Your help, a help that completely removes all the disturbing elements from the co-workers, so that they may turn towards You.
Those who are sincere, I can help and turn them easily towards the Divine.
But where there is insincerity I can do very little. And as I told you already, we have only to be patient and wait for the things to become better. But surely I do not see why you should get disturbed and in what way your disturbance would help things to be better. You know by experience that there is only one way of getting out of confusion and obscurity; it is to remain very quiet and peaceful, firm in the equanimity and to let the storm pass away. Rise above these petty quarrels and difficulties and wake up once more in the light and the power of my love which never leaves you.
15 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
In all clouds, all difficulties, all obstacles faith in the Divine is the only guide, strength and protection. It is faith in the Divine and love that save a sadhak and carry him beyond the dangers to a life of immortal bliss.
Fortify my faith, O my dear Mother.
Yes, never let anything cloud your faith in my love for you and in my constant presence and help. And rise high enough above these difficulties which try to seem big, so that you may see them as they really are, that is to say, very small and insignificant.
Always with you.
15 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Once more I am out of the clouds of confusion and obscurity. A firm quietude and equanimity and a reliance upon the Divine has dispersed them. The Divine is my strength and force, and I live for the Divine alone.
Yes, my child, it is quite true that the Divine is the sole refuge. With Him is absolute safety.
My love and blessings are always with you.
16 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The sword of Damocles hangs over our kitchen. We shall have to remain alert, watchful, full of force, quiet and patient. My dear Mother, I am full of confidence in the divine Victory.
Yes, as you say, one must keep up the entire confidence in the Victory of the Divine — and this general Victory will include in itself the personal victory of all those who will have kept faithful and confident.
29 June 1935
*
My dear Mother,
There is an adverse force in the Ashram that goes from inmate to inmate and it wants only to destroy. When inmates leave the Ashram, it does not go; it only becomes more violent. If the inmates remain faithful and sincere, it is bound to go in one second.
I ask for the wrath of Mahakali, the intensest love of that warrior Mother, to chase away this obstinate force and free the Ashram from our everyday trouble.
The wrath of Mahakali manifests from time to time and acts all right, but the effect of it does not last because those who answer to the adverse force do not truly want to be cured. They are not sincere.
We have only to remain quiet and confident, unshakeable in our faith and trust in the Divine’s Grace.
1 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I worked hard today in our courtyard garden and had a new vision: as humans are beings, so also plants are beings, and they too respond in proportion to one’s love and affection for them. And if a sadhak with insight develops this, it will be a great help in the evolution of Nature.
Yes, plants have a consciousness of their own; they are very receptive and respond quite well to the force.
Always with you my dear child.
2 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
If there were even a little sense of gratitude in the hearts of the inmates, no one would dare to tell You: “I am leaving.” May the Ashram inmates learn to be grateful and bow down in gratitude to the Divine.
Yes, my dear child, you are quite right — but gratitude is a virtue of the psychic and very few people live in their psychic consciousness.
5 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The physical work done in our courtyard these last few weeks has given me a very nice training. But I saw people looking at us with contempt when we were soiled and working; it has given me a better understanding of where they stand. I wish we would realise that physical work is in no way inferior to meditation. In fact if we think of the manifestation, work will surely be an important factor for the new creation.
There is no doubt about that.
I am always very happy to see you work physically. A good material work not exceeding normal capacities is most useful for keeping a good physical and moral poise.
13 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I did not go for marketing today, but I had a long sitting with You during the Pranam after many months. There I realised more clearly that in truth we all belong to You and our true nature is one of Your peace, love, harmony and joy. I know for certain that one day we shall rise above the nature of quarrels, envy, hatred, jealousy, arrogance and pride.
Your experience is true, the essential nature is peace, harmony and love. I hope all will realise it one day.
I am always with you.
14 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
This too is a training for me: to see how far I stand detached from circumstances, untouched by the jealousy around me and true to the Divine.
Yes, the only thing you have to do is to remain quiet, undisturbed, solely turned towards the Divine; the rest is in His hands.
17 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
As long as the being does not depend upon the Divine alone, there can never be peace, joy and happiness.
Yes, this is true; it is only in union with the Divine and in the Divine that harmony and peace can be established.
Always with you, my dear child.
20 July 1935
*
My dear Mother,
B has informed me that she is again getting bad ideas; but she is not weak and has taken her food regularly. She is quite strong and keeping quiet.
It is all right, but if B and the others made less fuss about these “bad ideas” they would get them less often!
22 July 1935
*
My very dear Mother,
Today I had a very true experience: While returning from the market this morning, the thought passed in me: “C is a big man in the outside world” and I felt a kind of dissatisfaction somewhere in the vital. Then You appeared before me and showed me: “Look here, here you are.” You carried me on Your arm close to Your heart.
Yes, it is surely better than to be a “great man” for the outside world!
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
11 August 1935
*
My dear Mother,
D saw Aroumé and looked quite pleased and satisfied; he also took away 3 loaves of bread. He shall have to pay a heavy price for that, and I shall not be satisfied if it is less than 3 lacs rupees. If he can give a loan of 99 lacs to the government, surely he can also give to You a good and descent sum.
He went away without giving a single rupee! and I believe he does not intend to give anything —only sweet words, that is all.
My dear Mother, it looks to me as if the disturbance in me has gone. Once more I have regained my normal balance of peace and happiness. I was feeling that my disturbance will pain You much more than any loss of money, and that brought me to my senses very soon.
This is good. Indeed the loss of money is of small importance, but the loss of equipoise is a much more important thing.
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
20 August 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May my sincerity increase and pervade my entire being. That will bring a great consecration and surrender to the Divine, leading to an integral union.
Yes, my dear child, sincerity is the key of the divine doors.
Always with you.
31 August 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May the wideness and depth of Thy seat increase in my heart; may it be Thine, Thine integrally.
Yes, I am always seated in your heart, consciously living in you.
1 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The Ashram had a dish from F on Monday, an extra dish on Wednesday, soup on Thursday and a fine dish of cabbage on Friday. My beloved Mother, for all this may a sense of gratitude arise in us — this is my prayer.
It seems that this night, between 9:30 and 10 o’clock, some people were speaking against G’s bath-room door while she was inside unnoticed. One person was saying something to this effect: how is it possible to work with such bad food? And another one answered: you ought to write to the Mother.
4 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Yoga in the cave is easy, but yoga in life is altogether a different thing. There must be sincerity to the core and absolute self-giving to the goal.
I do not believe that sadhana in the cave is easy — only there the insincerity remains hidden, while in life and action it is revealed. You can look like a yogi in a cave but in life the humbugging is more difficult, because you have to behave like a yogi.
Always with you, my dear child.
6 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May the day draw nearer when all the reports of disturbances stop and You are informed only of galloping progress and flights of the being towards the Divine. Blessed will be that day.
It is in a great peace that I am waiting for that day, the peace of the certitude of Victory. You must enter that peace, my dear child, and let nothing affect you. It is only when we are not affected that we can always do the right thing at the right time and in the right way.
Love and blessings to you, my dear child.
6 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The D. R. workers often have second or third works at different places. They have their main job, and in their free hours they do other things. It should not be otherwise, but it would be better to have a few full-time workers rather than many part-time workers.
People can’t do all day the same work; it is most taxing on the nerves and after some time they get tired, depressed, discouraged, speak of suicide, etc., etc.
Even in ordinary life it has been recognised that for the sake of the work itself, complete change of occupation for a few hours every day in most useful.
Always with you, my dear child.
13 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
We were preparing bread for 3 years or more according to this proportion: 1 kg of wheat for 3 loaves (25 kg for 75 loaves). Since last August we have been using 35 kg for 75 loaves — the difference is 10 kg per day. This difference has always pained me.
As the bread has not risen well recently, the consumption of loaves in the D. R. has increased. It is not that the stomachs of the eaters are asking for more food, it is insincerity and a lack of discrimination on the part of the people eating the food.
The loaves are surely much better than those we used to have before (I am seeing them every day). But I have no objection to that. After all, apart from the milk, the bread is the most substantial food we are giving, and I do not think it would be fair to reduce it. I think the chief reason why people are eating more bread is because the bread is much nicer than it used to be.
I must say that before we took up cattle, we never separated the bran from the wheat — it went into the bread.
It makes the bread a little too heavy to digest. I have said to give this small amount of bran (only 4%) to the milkmen.
My dear Mother, grant a simple sincerity in the entire being, a sincerity which keeps the full light and consciousness and accepts only the Truth.
The greatest enemies of a perfect sincerity are preferences (either mental, vital or physical) and preconceived ideas. It is these obstacles that must be overcome.
I am always with you to lead you to victory.
15 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I ask for “justice” from You. Here is my appeal!
O Lord, the human mind is too ignorant, too obstinate and obscure. May the Divine Grace be granted to it in order to set all things right.
Yes, it is the Divine Grace that must be prayed for. If justice were to manifest, very few would be those who could stand in front of it!
My love and blessings are always with you.
19 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
At this moment a question comes to me: how is that my head at once gives a money value to everything? Only if the money allows it, do I think of proceeding further!
It is all right. We must avoid as far as possible all wastage.
Always with you, my dear child.
24 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Give me a very, very quiet head, for it is into a quiet head that the true knowledge and consciousness will descend. Then there will be a true action and a worthy expression of Your true instrument. Beloved Mother, a very, very quiet head.
Yes — it is true, a very, very quiet head is indispensable for a clear understanding and vision and a right action.
My consciousness is always with you to give you a quiet head.
25 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Today I saw that my body is strong and that it can work; it is good that it does not remain slothful.
My dear Mother, may peace and quietness increase in my physical.
My dear child, I am always with you, and together we will fight the battle and win the victory.
Do not worry about the reactions of people, however unpleasant they may be — the vital is everywhere and in everybody full of impurities and the physical full of unconsciousness. These two imperfections have to be cured, however long it may take, and we have only to work at it patiently and courageously.
Always near you, supporting and guiding you.
27 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Jealousy prevails in Aroumé. Here I give You a letter from B and one from C. I have answered them both.
Jealousy comes from a narrowness of the mind and a weakness of the heart. It is a great pity that so many are attacked by it. Your answers are all right.
My dear Mother, what a fine instrument the dark forces have found! Jealousy spoils the entire life, the entire sadhana and brings troubles of every kind. Dear Mother, may it get rooted out.
The only answer is a quiet and luminous patience in the manifestation of the truth and in the consecration to the Divine.
28 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Whatever the circumstances may be, my heart shall always remain turned towards You in all love and consecration and confidence.
Well, surely when unfaithfulness prevails all around it is the time to be truly faithful and to stand untouched and unmoved in the storm.
Love and blessings to you, my dear child.
29 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Money can always come to the Ashram in showers, provided that the sadhaks are devoted and consecrated, faithful and sincere. If a sadhak says today: “Mother, I want to leave”, and tomorrow: “Mother, I want this and that”, I feel that money cannot pour in. The Ashram has to turn more and more inward in pursuit of the Divine if it wants to manifest the Divine in all its richness.
What you say is perfectly true, but there is also the divine Patience which waits for the obscurity to vanish.
In humbleness, my dear Mother, I am at Your feet, at Your disposal, always for You, an eternal gift.
Yes, my dear child, I know that you are mine, and it is with full trust that I take you with me on the way.
30 September 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Wheat-drying finishes on Saturday. The coolies are showing fatigue from carrying the bags of wheat up and down. But there are only two more days of this work.
You must be careful not to overburden them. If they get sick I shall have to bear the consequences.
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
2 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Ah, where is the stability? And the work! Where is the work? It is not even half the work that we used to do in this compound.
Equanimity — equanimity. It is the only practical answer to all this confusion which is bound to come to an end one day.
My dear Mother, pride challenges the Divine Grace whereas humble consecration and self-giving call the Divine Grace; then it becomes effective and protects. By becoming humble and giving myself to the Divine I lose nothing. May the shallow ‘I” become a portion of the Divinity.
Yes, humility and sincerity are the best safeguards. Without them each step is a danger, with them the victory is certain.
My dear child, humility and sincerity will take you to the goal.
3 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
It is my earnest wish to have good relations with one and all. Hardly a day has passed in which I have not cried within myself about my disharmonious relation with D. I never meant it to turn out like this.
Do not worry or be impatient. All the disharmonies will disappear, but it must be on the true basis of a settled luminous consciousness leaving no room to the play of the ego.
My love and blessings are always with you.
5 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I shall not be in a hurry for harmony, but it is not pleasant to remain in conflict, inner or outer, with someone; it brings so many difficulties into the work.
Surely we must always want the peace and the harmony and work for it as much as we can — but for that the best field of action is always inside ourselves.
Love and blessings to my dear child.
6 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Let the play of the ego disappear completely. In my case, I know very well that there is pride, arrogance, likes and dislikes. There is also a part of me that wants to be big and great — it is ambition.
My dear Mother, may I become a humble doer of Thy Work.
Yes, my dear child, in truth, sincere humility is our safeguard — it is the surest way to the indispensable dissolution of the ego.
Always with you on the way.
6 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The other day when I wrote to You about saving expenses if there is war in Europe, I meant this:
Milk: one cup instead of three. Not three plantains but one. No washerman at all — we can wash our own clothes. No servants. No pocket money — people may not go to the theatre or cinema or buy all sorts of things for pleasure.
Surely if France or England entered the war we would be obliged to do that. For the moment it is not yet necessary.
9 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Confidence in the Guru is the key to Victory. Lack of confidence brings complete failure. Confidence, confidence, may an utter confidence in the Divine increase in the Ashram.
Yes, it is so absurd to ask for help and yet to have no trust! On the contrary with confidence everything becomes so easy.
Always with you, my dear child.
12 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I am quietly happy, yet the fire in me is becoming more and more intense every day. May a deep quietness and Peace remain behind the intensity of the fire.
Yes, the true Agni always burns in deep Peace; it is the fire of an all-conquering will.
Let it grow in you, in deeper equanimity.
Always with you, my dear child.
13 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May the Divine Patience grow in me. True patience can grow only in the true knowledge and consciousness and in full confidence in the Divine.
If the mind remains more quiet in front of circumstances and happenings the patience will be more easily increased.
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
15 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May peace and confidence come into the exterior being, may the mind be filled with quietness and trust in You, in Your words and actions.
It is only love that can understand and get at the secrets of the Divine Working. The mind, the physical mind especially, is incapable of seeing correctly and yet it always wants to judge. It is only a true sincere humility in the mind allowing the psychic to rule the being, that can save human beings from ignorance and obscurity.
Always with you, my dear child.
16 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
In these monsoon rains and winds, the cart goes for food distribution thrice a day. The servants give more service than their due time (9 hours), get drenched three times a day and yet not a murmur from them. I feel a happy relation with them.
Yes, it is very good. The servants may be given a tip after the rain is over. You might give it to them yourself as an encouragement.
Recently F is getting very troubled by what people say about her. Often the idea enters her head: “I am bad, I am unfit”, etc.
Yes, I will tell her not to mind what people say. In fact I do not know why she is attaching so much importance to all that — so long as we are pleased with her, it ought to be sufficient.
18 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
I have always observed that whenever there is some heavy work or extra work to do, somebody or the other falls into a bad depression and it increases the work. The attack of depression comes either directly or through others. I have to remain firm, quiet, unshaken and full of confidence in the Divine.
Yes, when there is an attack it is general and always the blows come on all sides. But the more it strikes the more we must remain calm and undisturbed.
22 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
About the present conflict in the Dining Room. As far as I understand it, the reason is this: the workers want to have freedom of action and they feel suffocated under my pressure.
It is not under your pressure, it is under the pressure of discipline. These people refuse to be disciplined and that is why there is such a confusion.
Forgive me for the wrongs done by me in the D. R. and the Ashram.
I see no wrongs to be forgiven.
26 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
If there were even a few in the Ashram whose physical consciousness could readily receive the Divine Force and allow it to be effective in its working, I feel that a greater part of the illnesses in the Ashram would be pushed aside, and there would be sounder health.
May the body consciousness awaken, give itself completely to the Divine and allow the Divine Force to work out its Will.
Yes, what you say is quite right. It is of the greatest importance that the body consciousness should open to the Divine; that alone can put an end to all these illnesses rising in the Ashram.
Always with you, my dear child.
28 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
Teach me to rely more and more on You.
In the peace and the inner silence you will more and more become conscious of my constant presence.
30 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
The cold in my head is bad now; I took green “pastilles” from G and I may ask him for a few drops of oil in the nose. But this is the last time I am thinking of taking medicine. The next time the body should take up the true attitude and depend only upon the Divine Force.
The power that the body must get is to be aware of the illness at the moment of its coming and to reject it before it has time to settle in the body. But once the illness has caught hold of the body, then we must by one means or another help the body to recover.
Always with you.
31 October 1935
*
My dear Mother,
This evening H told me: “The moong dal is not clean. Will you get it cleaned by your granary workers?” I thought: “This is too much for me and there will be no end to it!” Also the people asking for Prasad are increasing and H is actively canvassing them!
All the above is purely from the viewpoint of discipline and organisation. But when I see things from a wider angle, I feel totally different: discipline too is progressive; what is good today may not hold good tomorrow. There will be a change in our outer life as a result of our inner progress and the descent of the consciousness from above.
My dear Mother, both these viewpoints are placed before You, the former arising from the egoistic mind, the latter from a wider mind, humble before Your working.
A harmonious combination of the two attitudes, each one working at its place and time, is the right thing.
J asks me to tell you that she no more wants to go home in the afternoon and she is ready to do the work that is needed in the kitchen. This is the result of a true progress in her consciousness and it has to be encouraged.
All love and blessings to you, my dear child.
1 November 1935
*
My dear Mother,
May I know You more and more as You are, and not as I think You are.
Surely, my dear child, you will know me more and more as you become more and more conscious of my presence near you.
4 November 1935
*
My dear Mother,
K informs me that she gets fever now and then, and it troubles her much. The only thing that I feel about all our fevers is this: let us turn ourselves to our Beloved, the Divine. So long as we have not turned ourselves fully, we shall have to endure the consequences patiently.
Surely all these troubles come from a resistance somewhere, something that opposes the work of transformation.
5 November 1935
*
Beloved of my heart,
May I get more peace and quietness under all circumstances and push forward vigilantly and patiently.
Yes, my dear child, let the peace settle more and more in you, especially in your physical mind and rely more and more on my love and blessings.
12 November 1935
*
My dear Mother,
A need for a complete quietness, even in my exterior consciousness, has arisen now. Inside there is always a force, but to make it more effective in its manifestation a complete quietness in all the being is the immediate need.
Yes, quietness, quietness, a calm and concentrated strength, so quiet that nothing can shake it —this is the indispensable basis for the integral realisation.
With love and blessings always.
