4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 20009

I feel a constant longing to ask the Mother to grant an interview to me. At times I feel utterly dissatisfied and uncertain of what I am doing and a little meeting with Mother could put right the whole thing.

It is not because Mother does not care for you that she is not calling you – when she is sure that things are ready she will do it. But it is not possible immediately or soon. First, she does not want to bring up old difficulties – secondly, nowadays there are many difficulties and she is tired and does not feel like talking with people. You must wait till things are clear on all sides – they are not now.
