Sri Aurobindo — Kamala Amin

Undated

Mother,

Last night I saw as follows.

In the morning, like all other persons I also went to the Mother to offer my salutations. After doing my salutations, when I raised my head, the Mother gave me a pink flower and said, “You are unfit for this yoga. You are not progressing in it and you do not even remember us.”

Mother, I feel the other way, that is, for the last so many days I have remembered Sri Aurobindo and you more and more. As regards my progress in yoga, who else can know better than you?

It may have been simply a formation in the vital, a suggestion meant to disturb you. If there was any truth in it, it must have been not to you but to some part of your being that Mother was speaking, telling it that it was not progressing or remembering her and at the same time she was giving you the flower indicating some psychic consciousness or movement by which this inertia would be removed.
