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


“In order to save her time Mother allowed me to show her paintings etc. while she was arranging flowers. Today when she was arranging flowers I asked: "Can I show the plates now?" Mother smiled and said: "Yes, yes." “



“After seeing the painting of Mona Lisa Mother said: "That is the best."”



C: "Is that so?"

Mother: "I think so. We shall see. Sri Aurobindo was the artist."

C: "Leonardo da Vinci?"

Mother smiled sweetly and said: "Yes."

I pointed to the picture and asked: "Mother, it seems this is you?"

Mother: "Yes. Don't you see the resemblance?" She put her finger on the lips of Mona Lisa (in the plate); she also pointed to the lower portion of the face.
