Opening and Presence

Make yourself quiet and open—have complete confidence and you will feel the Mother's presence with you.

9 October 1933

It is by the constant remembrance that the being is prepared for the full opening. By the opening of the heart the Mother's presence begins to be felt and by the opening to her Power above the Force of the higher consciousness comes down into the body and works there to change the whole nature.

The Mother says, "Keep yourself always open to me" and "I am always with you and around you." How am I to feel her presence always? Also, what does "conscious" mean and how does one become conscious?

The Divine Mother is everywhere and at all times she is with you. If one opens and becomes conscious, then one can feel her presence. It is because the nature is ignorant, full of itself and its desires that one cannot feel the presence. If one turns from self and desires and lives inwardly and outwardly for the Divine, then one begins to feel the divine Presence.

The condition you describe is a very good one and it is evident from it that you opened sincerely to the Mother when you met

her. Keep that sincere opening always and eventually a state of peace and joy and the sense of the Mother's presence will become permanent.

My dear Mother, peace in my vital, peace in my heart, peace everywhere.

Let the vital and the heart open always to the Mother's presence—the true source of peace.
