It is obviously an experience. It is not symbolic, so you can’t ask what it signifies – it was a thing that happened, just as on the physical plane Mother might put something on you.Sri Aurobindo

This time the dream was about the Mother’s music. All the while I was seated apart from the throng of people and yet in such a place that I could see everything.
After some time the Mother opened her magic eyes. She turned her head towards me and threw only one glance on me for a few seconds – I could not bear it longer, so I bent my head down. I felt a glow all over my body – up to the material layer! It was something more than the touch of a fiat. This time my physical consciousness experienced being taken more inside than above. It was no more bound by the ignorant nature.
