From many instances I have come to know that my face is like a mirror showing to each one the image of his own internal condition.

28 June 1931  

I feel inclined to reply:

I live so far from all these conventions that I had not even thought of that.

16 May 1932  

About 24 April 1920

 

The anniversary of my return to Pondicherry, which was the tangible sign of the sure Victory over the adverse forces.

24 April 1937 

“Who are you?” asks the adverse force.

“I am the impartial and truthful mirror in which each one can find his true likeness.”

25 March 1952

 

The Supermind had descended long ago very long ago into the mind and even into the vital: it was working in the physical also but indirectly through those intermediaries. The question was about the direct action of the Supermind in the physical. Sri Aurobindo said it could be possible only if the physical mind received the supramental light: the physical mind was the instrument for direct action upon the most material. This physical

mind receiving the supramental light Sri Aurobindo called the Mind of Light.

29 June 1953   

As soon as Sri Aurobindo withdrew from his body, what he has called the Mind of Light got realised in me.

 

        MOTHER'S SYMBOL

 

 

 

The central circle represents the Divine Consciousness.

The four petals represent the four powers of the Mother.

The twelve petals represent the twelve powers of the Mother manifested for Her work.

 The central circle represents the Supreme Mother, the Mahashakti.

The four central petals are the four aspects of the Mother – and the twelve petals, Her twelve attributes.

1955

 

 It is the symbolic design of the white Lotus of Supreme Consciousness, with the Mahashakti (the form of the Mother as universal creation) at the centre in her four aspects and twelve attributes.

 

Sri Aurobindo says, “The true basis of education is the study of the human mind, infant, adolescent and adult.” But how does one study? Where does one start? What are the steps in this study?

 

Do not ask me any questions about the mind; I am no longer interested in it. I am concentrated on union with the overmind.

9 December 1972 

How to learn to receive a solution for problems?

 

I cannot give it mentally; it is to be received inwardly.

MOTHER'S SIGNATURE

My help is always with you as active as ever; but I do no more answer mentally.

5 March 1973

Why do you want me to say something?

In silence is the greatest power.
