4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 20055

If there is an obstacle at pranam, it must be something wrong in the attitude – perhaps the old error of expecting some outward sign of love, approval or favour from the Mother. The pranam is not for that, but for receiving from her inwardly through the meditation and through the pranam itself. Nothing must be demanded – the consciousness must be surrendered and quiet to receive what she thinks best to give.
