4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 20068

The Mother did not smile at me today at Pranam. Did she see something very untoward in me?

It is a mistake to think that the Mother’s not smiling means either displeasure or disapproval of something wrong in the sadhak. It is very often merely a sign of absorption or inner concentration. On this occasion Mother was putting a question to your soul.
