THEME/S
By what puṇya of ours has the Grace granted to us, mere humans, this rare privilege of coming here at the Divine's Feet?
It is the call of your soul that brought you here and also some aspiration or connection with the Mother and myself in past lives.

What sort of bhakti in my past lives has brought me to the Mother's feet?
The aspiration for union with the Divine and perhaps also for the descent of the Divine on the earth.
8 May 1933
People make all sorts of effort to have God's darshan; some even weep and weep, yet they fail to obtain it. We in the Asram don't seem to have done very much, and yet we are here with you. What has brought this about?
There are many things that have brought it about—a connection in past lives with the Mother and myself, the development of your nature in former births which made it possible for you to seek the Divine, bhakti in those lives bearing its fruit now—finally, the Divine Grace.
October 1935
