4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19878

Today while engaged in work I felt a peaceful energy and something like ice touching my head. Then the knowledge came to me: “The Mother is always near us, though physically we do not see her, and she is removing all kinds of weakness with the touch of her affectionate hand. In every way she stands behind us secretly.” This thing was like a feeling and a vision, almost like a realisation. Was it the psychic feeling of the Mother’s presence in us?

It is a realisation attended with vision and feeling. It is the psychic and the mental together that produced it.
