Chapter 19

Ma – Sri Aurobindo, Ma – Sri Aurobindo

Words of the Mother

Mother, Sri Aurobindo has always said that You, You are within us.

Yes, it is true, perfectly right.

Me, I am there as a Presence in the Eternal Flame, the Power that animates and initiates the action, the Peace that renders all sweet and peaceful, the Joy that overflows and sublimates, the Light that purifies, and the Vibration that sanctions. Sri Aurobindo is there as a sustaining Entity, and me I am there like a Guide. In fact, it is the same identity in two. One, who observes, – the Witness, and the other that effectuates, – the Shakti. So long as one has not realised that, one cannot understand anything. … Yes, my child, he who recognises Sri Aurobindo and me, – in fact, it is the same thing, the same identity, – for him all obstacles, all difficulties, all traps, all the so-called interruptions on the march towards the Truth, are swept away and removed for ever, – in this life, as well as after death and in the lives to come, – till Eternity. Yes, for him, the Lord is all powerful. Only to repeat: “Ma – Sri Aurobindo, Ma – Sri Aurobindo” … (trance). That is enough. (trance)

Words of the Mother

There is only one thing of which I am absolutely sure, and that is who I am. Sri Aurobindo also knew it and declared it. Even the doubts of the whole of humanity would change nothing to this fact.

But another fact is not so certain―it is the usefulness of my being here in a body, doing the work I am doing. It is not out of any personal urge that I am doing it. Sri Aurobindo told me to do it and that is why I do it as a sacred duty in obedience to the dictates of the Supreme.

Time will reveal how far earth has benefited through it.
