Letters of Sri Aurobindo

1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 18996

Why is the Mother working in the form of Maheshwari in me? Why is she working so slowly? If she worked in the form of Mahakali, everything troubling me would flee from fear and the Mother’s luminous Sun would rise in me.

Mahakali can work only when there is a calm inner being and a resolute will facing without disturbance all the difficulties. When there is not that, then it is only possible for Maheshwari to work in order to bring her calm and wideness into the being.
