3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19415

During the work, is it good to go on thinking: “It is the Mother who does the work through us”?

If it is work, you can always do that, provided you realise that it depends on the instrument whether the Mother’s force works fully or not.

But if we think it is the Mother who is working through us, wrong movements may hide in the disguise of the Mother?

If you think all your actions come from the Mother, then of course it will have that effect – the actions come from Prakriti. Work is a different matter, for it is the Mother’s work you are doing.
