3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19230

But I do not see why you call the feeling sentimental or think that your sense of the presence of the Mother in the heart-beats etc. was unreal. It was your psychic being that suggested it to you and the response showed that the consciousness was ready. Mother felt that something was happening in you and felt that it was the beginning of a realisation – she was encouraging it and did not discourage. If it had been a wrong or vital movement she would not have felt like that.
