4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19943

The Mother loves because she is Love and cannot but love. Still, we feel that she cannot love as we do, and on our part we cannot bear the constancy and wideness of her Love.

Obviously, if people expect the ordinary kind of love from the Mother they must be disappointed – the love based on the vital and its moods. But that is just the kind of love that has to be overpassed in Yoga or transformed into something else.
