Contemplation of the Divine

How calm, noble and pure is the splendour of the Divine's contemplation.

The Mother. Collected Works of the Mother.- Volume 14. - Words of the Mother

What is needed is to succeed in meditating under all circumstances, and I call "meditating" not emptying your head but concentrating yourself in a contemplation of the Divine; and if you keep this contemplation within you, all that you do will change its quality - not its appearance, for apparently it will be the same thing, but its quality. And life will change its quality, and you, you will feel a little different from what you were, with a peace, a certitude, an inner calm, an unchanging force, something which never gives way.
