What are these stupid waves moving about the Ashram atmosphere? They say: Non-pranam day1 means a day of rest for the sadhana. Does marching on with the Mother bring fatigue? As for the ‘rest’ do we really need it?
It is the ordinary attitude of the physical consciousness – but once the fundamental consciousness is fixed, there is no reason why the sadhana should stop for a single day or need rest.
1 During this period the Mother used to give us Pranams every day except Mondays. So Monday was called a non-pranam day, when she used to wash her hair and then walk on the small terrace above Dyuman’s room in order to dry it.
