 Flower Language<\/b>\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can easily make a speech using flowers and I have noticed that this can effectively replace the old Vedic images, for instance, which no longer hold meaning for us, or the ambiguous phraseology of the ancient initiations. Flower language is much better because it contains the Force and is extremely plastic\u2014since it is not formulated in words, each one is free to arrange and receive it according to his own capacity. You can make long speeches using flowers.\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 *\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the end of 1929 to the middle of 1930 the Mother played a flower game with a small group of disciples. Arranging a few flowers in her hand, she made up a sentence in English based on the significances she has given and asked the disciples to guess it. Some of these flower-game sentences are given below. However the last two sentences are messages and were given much later.<\/i>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The divine solicitude <\/i>is with you (meaning, you are getting all the help you need). But keep up your aspiration, <\/i>remain faithful <\/i>and the wrong movement will be changed into the right, <\/i>so that the victorious love <\/i>may manifest.\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By loving consecration [Radha’s consciousness] <\/i>and faithful service <\/i>allow the divine protection <\/i>to be with you in your aspiring concentration <\/i>for integral transformation <\/i>[four flowers of transformation ].<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Victorious love <\/i>will manifest when there will be established, through the five-fold psychological perfection, <\/i>the love of the physical for the Divine <\/i>and when, through loving consecration, <\/i>there will be a complete faithfulness <\/i>to the Divine.\n<\/p>\n

Peace in the vital is at once the basis of aspiration and the
\ncondition for the beginning of realisation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

To keep Agni burning always in the psychic centre is an
\nindispensable condition for transformation .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

To an aspiration for the Divine love, supported by faithfulness
\nand sincerity in the vital, the Divine love will surely answer.<\/p>\n

   <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

The devotion that accompanies Radha’s absolute consecration,
\nthis alone has the power of bringing down Krishna’s light in the mind.\n<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

Aspire for gratitude-without gratitude the mind cannot get
\npurified.\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

Aspiration and faithful devotion firmly established in a
\npeaceful vital being and crowned by a simple sincerity are some of the most
\nessential conditions for a beginning of realisation .<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

Only to those who have a true humility will power be given.\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Approach the Divine with loving gratitude and you will meet the
\nDivine’s love.\n<\/p>\n

     \n<\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let your aspiration for progress be cheerful and you will get
\nthe ananda of progress\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The generosity of your absolute self-giving will bring to you
\nthe revelation of the generosity of the Divine’s love.\n<\/p>\n

     \n<\/p>\n

 * <\/p>\n

 Peace in the physical cells leads first to health and then
\nto transformation.<\/p>\n

\nA <\/font>consciousness luminous without obscurity, turned towards the supramental light
\n<\/font><\/span>and full of a <\/font>
\nsupramentalised plasticity <\/font><\/span>are the conditions for the
