Guiding Light of The Month

O Lord, how ardently do I call and implore Thy love! Grant that my aspiration may be intense enough to awaken the same aspiration everywhere: oh, may good- ness, justice and peace reign as supreme masters, may ignorant egoism be overcome, darkness be suddenly illu- minated by Thy pure Light; may the blind see, the deaf hear, may Thy law be proclaimed in every place and, in a constantly progressive union, in an ever more perfect harmony, may all, like one single being, stretch out their arms towards Thee to identify themselves with Thee and manifest Thee upon earth. - The Mother

Question of the Month

Q: How should we help the big change in the world, about which your New Year’s Message speaks?

A: The Mother: The best way of helping is to let the Consciousness that has come down upon the earth work in you for transformation.

Q: Sweet Mother, this morning in my meditation I saw so many things which were logically unrelated but which definitely produced the impression that something extraordinary is about to happen. This is the first time, perhaps, that I have had such a presentiment, lasting almost an hour.

I want to know if there is any truth in it and how we should prepare for it.

A: The Mother: Last night, we (you and I and a few others) were together for quite a long time in Sri Aurobindo’s permanent dwelling-place in the subtle physical (what Sri Aurobindo called as the true physical). Everything that took place there (far too long and complicated to relate) was organized, so to say, to express concretely the rapidity of the present movement of transformation. And with a smile, Sri Aurobindo told you something like this: “Do you believe now?” It was as if he were evoking the three lines from Savitri:

“God shall grow up while the wise men talk and sleep,
For man shall not know the coming till the hour
And belief shall not be till the work is done.”

I think that this is a sufficient explanation of the meditation you refer to.

My blessings.
