Description
Flowers are medium, large or very large; the single forms have five petals and a prominent exserted staminal column with yellow anthers along the sides near the tip and ending in five tiny velvety stigma pads; the double and semi-double forms are loosely to densely ball-like, the petals usually hiding the reproductive parts; borne singly from the leaf axils.
Will in course of uniting itself with the Divine Will
I know that all is according to Thy will, and with a pure adoration I trust myself joyously to Thy will.
The Mother
The Mother. Collected Works of the Mother.- Volume 1.- Prayers And Meditations
when I speak of the Divine Will, I mean something different, - something that has descended here into an evolutionary world of Ignorance, standing at the back of things, pressing on the Darkness with its Light, leading things presently towards the best possible in the conditions of a world of Ignorance and leading it eventually towards a descent of a greater power of the Divine, which will be not an omnipotence held back and conditioned by the law of the world as it is, but in full action and therefore bringing the reign of light, peace, harmony, joy, love, beauty and Ananda, for these are the Divine Nature.

The will is a part of the consciousness and ought to be in human beings the chief agent in controlling the activities of the nature.
