4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19965

People say that the sadhaks whom the Mother calls for interview now and then, and the sadhaks to whom she sends things personally, are those who are very close to her and they progress rapidly in every way. What is the truth in this?

It is all nonsense. Some of the best sadhaks are among those whom the Mother seldom or never calls and she sends them nothing. Nor do they expect it – they feel the Mother always with them and are satisfied and ask for nothing else.
