4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19937

When I asked what attitude I should hold during the silence of the mind, you replied, “Consecration.” Please explain this to me in a wider sense.

It means the devoting of all that comes to you, all your experiences and progress to the Mother.

What should I do to keep the silence alert and constant while reading, talking and working.

The same thing – do all with a quiet mind, not throwing yourself out in what you do, but seeing quietly what is done and what happens.
