Publisher’s Note
This volume contains the talks given by the Mother to the students, teachers and sadhaks of the Ashram in her "Wednesday Classes" of 1954. The classes generally began with a reading from one of her writings or her French translations of Sri Aurobindo’s works. She then commented or answered questions on the texts or on other subjects. The talks from January 2 to April 14 are based upon her essays on education and self-development (now published in On Education, Volume Twelve of the Collected Works), the others upon Sri Aurobindo’s Elements of Yoga, The Mother and Bases of Yoga.
The talks, given in French, were tape-recorded. Tests and translations of the talks of January 2 to September 15 were first published in the quarterly Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education from April 1973 to August 1978; the translations have been slightly revised for this volume. The rest of the talks are published here for the first time.
This is Volume Six of the Collected Works of the Mother. |
