4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 20110

The Mother was so kind as to give me a message in the form of six flowers. Their significances are: Devotion, Faith, Mental Sincerity, Resolution, Divine Help and Peace in the Vital. But I did not understand the exact meaning of the message. Will you kindly explain it?

The Divine Help was put inside the flower of faith – when that is done, the two flowers form a single idea = faith in Divine Help.

The meaning was simply that these are the conditions for the realisation in the Yoga – devotion, faith in Divine help, resolution, mental sincerity, peace in the vital – if these are there, the realisation will come.
