3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19410

Has Mother really been sending force to my friend?

I don’t know whether Mother is sending force in the accepted sense; I haven’t asked her. In any case anyone can receive the force who has faith and sincerity, whose psychic being has begun to wake and who opens himself,– whether he knows or not that he is receiving. If X even imagines that he is receiving, that may open the way to a real reception,– if he feels it, why question his feeling? He is certainly trying hard to change and that is the first necessity; if one tries it can always be done, in more or less time.
