for that self-consecration, it has to be done as an offering to her so that through the self-offering one may come to feel her force acting and her presence.Sri Aurobindo

Reading and Sadhana [4]
Reading and study though they can be useful for preparing the mind, are not themselves the best means of entering the Yoga. It is self-dedication from within that is the means. It is with the consciousness of the Mother that you must unite, a sincere self-consecration in the mind and heart and the Will is the means for it. The work given by the Mother is always meant as field for that self-consecration, it has to be done as an offering to her so that through the self-offering one may come to feel her force acting and her presence.
