4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19952

I feel hurt when somebody tells me I am doing something wrong in my sadhana. I get restless and depressed. But today by the Mother’s compassion, I can see that I have been childish and stupid. Is my experience true?

You ought to train yourself not to mind what people say – for what they say is also childish and stupid. Your sadhana – and your life also – lies between you and the Mother; other people do not matter.
