3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19477

When the Mother comes on the terrace in the evening, I often see white light around her; it is clearly visible around her body and sometimes the top of the whole building seems to emit light. One day I thought that there may be a background of light behind all material things which can be seen physically. Is it true? Is there any systematic process to open oneself to that physical vision?

The white Light around the Mother is the Mother’s own light – that of the Divine Consciousness. Many nowadays are able to see it around her when she is on the roof. One can also see all objects in this light – it means that the light has descended here and is floating around everything.
