Letters of Sri Aurobindo
4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram
It was certainly true that you saw the Mother and she was teaching secrets to your inner being – for your inner being is in close relation with her. It is only by your opening yourself that this inner being can come out and change the relations of 
your external self with her, remove from it its sense of not being connected, its misunderstandings, wrong attitudes, confused movements. That is why I am always pressing on you to open and keep in touch with the Force – for it is your inner being that feels naturally in touch with it,– it is only the external and physical mind and vital that feel it is as if it were not real, not truly connected etc. etc. This you have experienced yourself more than once when the inner being came into the front.
