4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19814

Y and Z are not given physical or practical external work because their energy cannot run in that direction and they cannot do it – not because training in physical and practical work is not good for all. In ideal circumstances a many-sided activity of the being would be the best – but as yet it is not always practicable.
