First published in 1928,<br \/>\n<i>The Mother <\/i>is one of the most widely read of Sri Aurobindo&#8217;s works. The Mother&#8217;s comments on it were made in the 1950s in the course of her regular evening classes at the Ashram Playground.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\nThere are, in fact, two sets of comments, one given in 1951 and the second in 1954. These comments do not form a systematic commentary on Sri Aurobindo&#8217;s work, but are rather explanations of certain passages, phrases and words. The Mother usually began the class by reading out a passage from the book, then commented on it or invited questions from those gathered around her. The class consisted of members of the Ashram and students of the Ashram school.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\nPart One of this book contains the text of <i>The Mother, <\/i>Part Two the Mother&#8217;s comments in 1951, and Part Three her comments in 1954. Further information is provided in the Note on the Texts at the end.\n\t<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p class=\"para\" style=\"text-align: center\"><b>Part One<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\" style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\" style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"4\">The Mother <\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\" style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"4\">by<br \/>\n<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"para\" style=\"text-align: center\"><font size=\"4\">Sri Aurobindo<br \/>\n<\/font>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE MOTHER &nbsp; by Sri Aurobindo &nbsp; with the Mother&#8217;s Comments &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SRI AUROBINDO ASHRAM PONDICHERRY &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First edition&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-mother-by-sri-aurobindo","wpcat-80-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3490\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
