\nTHE  MOTHER’S  PRESENCE
\n<\/font><\/b> <\/P><\/p>\n

THE  CONSTANT  PRESENCE <\/b>
\n\t\t<\/P>
\n

Live always as if you were under the very eye of the Supreme and of the  Divine
\nMother.  Do nothing, try to think and feel nothing that would be unworthy of the Divine
\nPresence.<\/P>

THE  MOTHER’S  PERSONAL  AND  UNIVERSAL  PRESENCE
\n<\/b> <\/P>
\n\t\t

 <\/P>
\n

Q:<\/b>  You have written:  “Always behave as
\nif the Mother was looking
\nat you;  because she is, indeed, always present”.  You explained to me that this
\ndoes not mean that she was physically present everywhere because that was
\nimpossible.  But when I asked the Mother about this, she said that she was
\npersonally present at all places.  How to reconcile these contradictory
\nstatements ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  If by physically you mean corporeally, in her visible tangible
\nmaterial
\nbody, it is obvious that it cannot be.  When you asked Mother that question she did
\nnot understand you to mean that ― she said she could be present everywhere, and she
\nmeant, of course, in her consciousness.  It is the consciousness and not the
\nbody that
\nis the being, the person, the body is only a support and  instrument for the action
\nof the consciousness.  Mother can be personally present in her consciousness.  The
\nuniversal presence, of course, is always there and the universal and personal are
\ntwo aspects of the same being.<\/P>

\n

<\/p>\n

our insignjficant thoughts at all
\ntimes, or only when she concentrates ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

 <\/P><\/p>\n

A: <\/b> It is said that the Mother is always
\npresent and looking at you.  This does not mean that in her physical mind she is
\nthinking of you always and seeing your thoughts.  There is no need of that,
\nsince she is everywhere and acts everywhere out of her universal knowledge.<\/P><\/p>\n

\n

A:<\/b>  Including what Llyod George had for breakfast today or what
\nRoosevelt said to his wife about the servants ?  Why should the Mother  “know”  in
\nthe human way all happenings in the physical plane ?  Her business in her
\nembodiment is to know the workings of the universal forces and use them for her
\nworks;  for the rest she knows what she needs to know, sometimes with her inner
\nself, sometimes with her physical mind.  All knowledge is available in her
\nuniversal self but she brings forward only what is needed to be brought forward
\nso that the working is done.<\/P>

Q:<\/b>  Someone said that the Mother sees all our physical movements.   How does this happen ?  Are all our physical movements reflected on her mind and
\nseen by her as images or do they occur in her consciousness at the same time as
\nwe do them ?  But would that not be very puzzling and cumbersome to her ?  Moreover,
\nwould it not be a very material kind of telepathy ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  It would not be worthwhile.  Mother can see what people are
\ndoing by images received by her in the subtle state which <\/P>
\n

Page – 106<\/P>
\n

<\/p>\n

corresponds to sleep or concentration or by
\nimages or intimations received in the ordinary state;  but much even of what comes to
\nher automatically like that is unnecessary, and to be always receiving everything would be
\nintolerably troublesome as it would the consciousness occupied with a million
\ntrivialities;  so not happen.  What is more important is to know their
\ninner condition and it is this chiefly which comes to her. <\/P><\/p>\n

Q:<\/b>  (Re.  a certain incident that had recently occurred:)  I was
\nunder the impression that Mother could at once know of such things.  Some even
\nsay that she knows everything ― all that is material or spiritual.  Others
\nmaintain that she knows when the question of consciousness is involved, e.g.  sex movements, etc., but not so much about material things.
\n<\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  Good Lord !  You don’t expect her mind to be a factual encyclopaedia of
\nall that is happening on all the planes and in all universes ?  Or even on this
\nearth, e.g.  what Lloyd George for dinner yesterday ?  <\/p>\n

Questions of consciousness,
\nof course, she always knows even with her outermost physical mind.  Material
\nfacts she can know but is not bound to do it.  What would be true to say, is
\nthat she can know if she concentrates or if her attention is called to it and
\nshe decides to know.  I often know from her what has happened before it is
\nreported by anyone.  But she does not I care to do that on a general scale. <\/P>

Q:<\/b>  This question of Mother’s knowledge became even more
\ninteresting for me today.  She gave me the flower signifying  “Discipline”.   I
\nbegan to wonder why this particular flower was given;  at last I remembered
\nthat <\/i> <\/P>

\n

\n

<\/p>\n

yesterday I had not observed the right
\ndiscipline in the matter of taking food with X and Y. <\/i> <\/P><\/p>\n

A:<\/b>  In this respect the Mother is guided by her intuitions which tell her
\nwhich flower is needed at the moment or helpful.  Sometimes it is accompanied by
\na perception of a particular state of consciousness, sometimes by that of a
\nmaterial fact;  but only the bare fact, usually e.g.― it would not specify that
\nit was  "that particular thing"  that was done or how X or Y came in.  Not
\nthat that is impossible, but it is unnecessary and does not happen unless
\nneeded. <\/P><\/p>\n

Q:<\/b>  The Mother can know our thoughts, but can she know also the
\nexact words in the thoughts ? <\/i> <\/P>

\nsubstance that comes or a part of the thought or some general idea. <\/P>

What you write about X is true …. She does not realise that
\nMother knows all these things by other means and any information given to her
\nonly adds certain physical precisions to what she knows already. <\/P>
\n

 <\/P>
\n

How can she be
\nopen when she has such ideas against the Mother ?  They must necessarily shut her
\nup to the Mother’s influence.  <\/P>
\n

 <\/P>
\n

Mother has written to her that Y had said nothing
\nand that she knew things about X independently of any information, from X’s
\ninner being itself which comes to her constantly and tells her or shows her what
\nis in the nature. <\/P>

Mother never acts on these supraphysical intimations unless there is a
\nphysical
\nconfirmation like the letter itself in this case.  For nobody would understand her action
\n―
\nthe Sadhaks living in the physical mind would state her action unfounded, and
\nthose affected would deny
\nloudly ― as many have done in the past ― their secret thoughts, feelings and actions.  I
\ntell you all this in confidence so that you may understand what is the real
\nbasis of Mother\u00b4s letters to X. <\/P>

THE  MOTHER’S  EMANATIONS
\n<\/b> <\/P>
\n\t\t

 <\/P>
\n

Q:<\/b>  What is the exact significance of your statement:  "Always
\nbehave as if the Mother was looking at you;  because she is, indeed, always present” ?
\n<\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  It is the emanation of the Mother that is with each Sadhak all the time.  In former
\ndays when she was spending the night in a trance not working in the Ashram, she brought
\nback with her the knowledge of all that was happening to everybody.  Nowadays she
\nhas no time for that. <\/P>

\n

 <\/P>
\n

Q:<\/b>  All this is very interesting;  and I suppose you have an equal
\nnumber of emanations yourself.  Their object must be to give us
\nprotection. <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A: <\/b> I am not aware of any emanations of mine.  As for the Mother`s, they are not
\nthere for protection, but to support the personal relation or contact with the Sadhak,
\nand to act so far as he will allow them to act. <\/P>

Q:<\/b>  Kindly enlighten us a little more regarding the emanations.  How do they support the personal relation ?  I
\n<\/i> <\/P>
\n

 <\/P>
\n

Page – 109<\/P>
\n

<\/p>\n

thought that all personal relations
\nwere with the Mother direct, not through a deputy !  When X says that he feels the
\nMother’s physical touch, with whom does he have the contact ― the Mother or the
\nemanation ?  Then again, the different forms of the Mother that one sees in dreams
\n― are they also her emanations ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  It is terribly difficult to write of these things, for you
\nare all as ignorant as blazes about these things and misunderstand at every step.  The Emanation is not a deputy, but the Mother herself.  She is not bound
\nto her body, but can put herself out  (emanate)  in any way she likes.  What
\nemanates, suits itself to the nature of the personal relation she has with the Sadhak which is different with each, but that does not prevent it from being
\nherself.  Its presence with the Sadhak is not dependent on his consciousness of
\nit.  If everything were dependent on the surface consciousness of the Sadhak,
\nthere would be no possibility of the divine action anywhere;  the human worm
\nwould remain the human worm and the human ass the human ass, for ever and ever.  For if the Divine could not be there behind the veil, how could either ever
\nbecome conscious of anything but their wormhood and asshood even throughout
\nthe ages ? <\/P>
\n

(By the side of the question,  “When X says that he feels the
\nMother’s physical touch, with whom does he have the contact … ?”<\/i>

 <\/P>
\n

Q:<\/b>  How and when can one feel the Mother’s concrete presence all
\nthe time ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  It is a matter, first of the constant activity of the psychic
\nand secondly of the conversion of the physical and its openness to inner
\nsupraphysical experience.  Apart from the vital and its disturbances the physical
\nis the chief difficulty in establishing a continuity of Yogic consciousness and
\nexperience.  If the physical is thoroughly transformed ― opened and conscious― then stability and continuity become easy.<\/P>

It is quite right and part of the right consciousness in Sadhana
\nthat you should feel drawn in your heart towards the Mother and aspire for the
\nvision and realisation of her presence.  But there should not be any kind of
\nrestlessness joined to this feeling.  The feeling should be quietly intense.  It
\nwill then be easier for the sense of the presence to come and to grow in
\nyou. <\/P>

\n

Q:<\/b>  Is it true that when the Presence  (image)  is seen in
\nthe
\nheart all the habits and movements of the lower nature disappear ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  The image and the Presence are not the same.  One can
\nfeel the Presence without
\nseeing the image.  But to produce the results you speak of, the Presence in the heart is
\nnot sufficient, there must be Presence in the whole consciousness and the Force governing
\nall the action of the nature. <\/P>

THE  PRESENCE  IN  FRONT
\n<\/b> <\/P>
\n\t\t

 <\/P>
\n

Q:<\/b>  In the evening meditation, there was an intense movement of
\nsurrender from the heart.  I had the feeling of Mother’s presence immediately in
\nfront and aspiration rose from below the feet, from the legs, from the Muladhara centre;  there was a willing and loving surrender from the heart, from the
\nentire being, as if for fulfilment.  I suppose the psychic being came to the
\nfront.  But why did I feel the Mother’s presence in front and not within me
\n?<\/i><\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  You had the psychic condition then and that means a coming of the
\ninfluence of the psychic being to the front.  It is when there is complete
\npsychic opening that there is the presence within.  The presence in front means that it was with
\nyou but had still to enter within.<\/P>

THE  PRESENCE  IN  THE  HEART-BEATS

\n\t\t

 <\/P>

But I do not see why I call the feeling sentimental or think that your sense of the presence of the Mother in the heart-beats etc.
\nwas unreal.  It was your
\npsychic being that suggested it to you.<\/P>
\n

Page – 113<\/P>
\n

<\/p>\n

and the response showed that the
\nconsciousness was ready.  Mother felt that something was happening in you and
\nfelt that it was the beginning of a realisation ― she was encouraging it and did
\nnot discourage.  If it had been a wrong or vital movement she would not have felt
\nlike that.<\/P><\/p>\n

If you feel the Mother’s presence for the greater part of the

\npsychic being is there and not at all far off.<\/P>

FEELING  OF  PRESENCE  AND  ONENESS  WITH  THE  MOTHER
\n<\/b> <\/P>
\n\t\t

 <\/P>
\n

There is no such necessary precedence as that first one must feel the Presence and
\nthen only can one feel oneself the Mother’s;  it is more often the increase of the
\nfeeling that brings the Presence.  For the feeling comes from the psychic consciousness and
\nit is the growth of the psychic consciousness that makes the constant Presence at last possible.  The feeling comes from the psychic
\nand is true of the inner being ― its not being yet
\nfulfilled in the whole does not make it an imagination;  on the contrary, the
\nmore it grows the more
\nis the likelihood of the whole being fulfilling this truth;  the inner bhāva<\/i> takes more
\nand more possession of the outer consciousness and remoulds it so as to make it
\na truth there
\nalso.  This is the constant principle of action in the Yogic transformation
\n― what is
\ntrue within comes out and takes possession of the mind and heart and will and through
\nthem prevails over the ignorance of the outer members and brings the inner truth out there also.<\/P>

Q:<\/b>  You wrote yesterday,  “Openness is not reckoned merely by
\nvisions".  Quite so.  But to have a fusion of the rays of sun and moon on each
\nside of the body and to feel the descent and the Mother’s presence in, behind
\nand above oneself, is it not an exceptional vision and experience ?  Can it occur
\nwithout sufficient opening to the Mother ? <\/i> <\/P>
\n

A:<\/b>  Why should it be exceptional to see the Sun and Moon on each
\nside or to feel the Mother’s presence everywhere around ?  There are plenty of
\nSadhaks who have had these or equivalent experiences.  What could be exceptional
\nis to feel the Mother’s presence like that always.  But occasional experiences
\nlike these many have had.<\/P>

\nMOTHER’S  PRESENCE <\/b> <\/P>

The Mother’s presence is always there;  but if you decide to act ―<\/font> your own
\nidea, your own notion of things, your own will and demand upon things, then it is quite
\nlikely that her I get veiled;  it is not she who withdraws from you, but
\nyou who draw <\/b>back from her.  But your mind and vital don’t want to
\nadmit that, because it is always their
\npreoccupation to justify their owns movements.  If the psychic were allowed its
\nfull predominance,  this would
\nnot happen;  it would have felt it would at once have said,  "There must have in
\nme, a mist has arisen in me,”  and it would and found the cause.<\/P>

The Presence whose fading you regret can only be felt if the inner being
\ncontinues to be
\nconsecrated and the outer nature is put into harmony or at least kept under the touch of
\nthe inner spirit.<\/P>

 <\/P>
\n

But if you do things which your inner being does not approve, this condition will be eventually tarnished and, each
\ntime, the possibility of your feeling the Presence will
\ndiminish.  <\/b>You must have a strong will to purification and an aspiration that
\ndoes not flag and cease, if
\nthe Mother’s grace is to be there and effective.<\/P>
