What I want of you is not to love the Mother from a distance, but to become accustomed to feel her presence, her help, the working of her forces even when she is not physically present ... because it would give a great push to your Yoga.

Early Disciples

"His inner contact with the Mother was such that he could draw her out of the deepest trance..... Without a whisper or a touch he is said to have informed her of the need to go back to Sri Aurobindo’s room..."

Congratulations on the sparkles and the dreams. ... I think I have told you that the sparkles usually indicate an opening of the doors of the inner consciousness.

Sahana Devi's memoirs again and again show us the Love and Grace of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and Their way of dealing with the sadhakas difficulties and unique challenges.
Keep always confidence in the Mother’s care and love — trust in them and distrust every suggestion, every appearance that seems to contradict.
