Same Consciousness In Two Forms to Bring the Equilibrium

Words of the Mother

… Essentially we are truly one or the same, there is no difference. It is the same consciousness in two forms in the manifestation to support one or the other. This division is necessary for the equilibrium in the creation; but outside the manifestation … there is no division, the unity is complete. It is One or the Unique – One Consciousness. And sometimes the unity is seen when it is necessary even in the manifestation. When one opens oneself to this consciousness, one sees this unity. It is actually that. … One cannot explain what it is. It can only be lived. It is by concentration and by remaining open that one can arrive at this experience. It is not something constructed by the mind. The mind has no access to this region.

Words of the Mother

Really speaking, Sri Aurobindo and myself are the same, the same consciousness. Here below, there is a division, this is only to bring in an equilibrium in the creation. Otherwise, it is the same. We are truly one. No, it is very difficult to express. I do not find the words. No, it is not possible. It cannot be expressed …

You understand, outside the manifestation, all is One. There is no difference. It is the same thing, one consciousness, a perfect unity. We do not have a separate existence. But when we descend here below, it seems we have different forms, a separate existence, while being one when it is necessary. Sometimes He is united with me, being at the same time everywhere in the universe. He is here in me. He talks to me. He unites himself with me. And at times He is separate from me, and lives an existence separate from me. And at the same time, He is in me. But in appearance, He is different from me. It is a game that unfolds: once He unites with me and at another time He throws Himself in the manifestation. He is here (Mother indicates Her body), He is there, He is everywhere in the universe. He is in each thing that is found in the manifestation. Sometimes He manifests Himself and sometimes He remains hidden and one does not see Him anymore. It is in this way that He sustains the creation. Once He unites Himself and at another time He separates Himself when it is necessary. One intermingles with the other and it is with a purpose, with a goal that He determines His actions. He is here and one finds Him there, simultaneously. He is … no, it is very difficult to express it. No, there are no words, one cannot understand by the mind what it is.
