Remarks on the Current State of the Sadhana, 1931 – 1947

1935 [11]

It seems something very striking and luminous has happened today. Have you achieved some great victory? How many millions of hostile forces have you crushed? At evening meditation the Mother had an appearance sparkling like gold beams. On other days she looks tired, tired of the job, and would like to give it up saying, “Oh, you sadhaks, you are all hopeless!”

It would be very natural if Mother felt like that! Never has there been such an uprush of mud and brimstone as during the past few months. However the Caravan goes on and today there was some promise of better things.
