4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19877

I was feeling very happy alone in my room, with an inner feeling of the Mother’s consciousness. When I went to see X , I felt ill at ease and I lost the inner contact with the Mother. Mixing with people destroys the inner feeling, but I cannot always remain secluded. What is the best thing to do?

You have to learn to live in yourself with the Mother, in contact with her consciousness, and meet others only with your exterior surface.
