Sweet
Mother, You have said that to be allowed to sit
in Sri Aurobindo's room and meditate there, “one
must have done much for Him”. What do you mean
by that, Mother? What can one do for the Lord which
will be this “much”?
To do something
for the Lord is to give Him something of what one
has, or of what one does, or of what one is. That
is to say, to offer to Him one part of our goods
or all of our possessions, to consecrate to Him
one part of our work or all our activities, or to
give ourselves to Him totally and without reserve
so that He may take possession of our nature in
order to transform and divinise it....
-17 August 1960
The prayers are mostly written in an identification with the earth-consciousness. It is the Mother in the lower nature addressing the Mother in the higher nature, the Mother herself carrying on the Sadhana of the earth-consciousness for the transformation praying to herself above from whom the forces of transformation come. This continues till the identification of the earth-consciousness and the higher consciousness is effected..... It is the Divine who is always referred to as Divine Mai^tre and Seigneur. There is the Mother who is carrying on the sadhana and the Divine Mother, both being one but in different poises, and both turn to the Seigneur or Divine Master.
