4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19959

When I see the Mother in the evening, I notice that some being in me is trying to bring catastrophes, such as the idea, “Mother does not look at you”, even though she may be looking at me.This has become very common. I always try my best to reject it, but still it comes constantly and forcibly and makes my consciousness disordered. I pray that the Mother may remove it. What is this being – is it vital?

Yes, it is a being of falsehood from the vital world which tries to make one take its false suggestions for the truth and disturb the consciousness, and get it to leave the straight path and either get depressed or turned against the Mother. If you reject and refuse to listen or believe always, it will disappear.
