4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19763

Sometimes things that I want come to me in a surprising way. But why don’t I get what I want from the Mother? Someone told me that the universal Divine gives according to a universal law. But with the Mother, it is her Will which gives or refuses depending on what is good for us.

But what you want from the Mother does not come through a pull in the vital – it can come only by the faith and surrender – the psychic purifying the mind and the vital of all wrong desire.
