The Mystery of Incarnation

Many years ago, the Mother wrote regarding life in the Asram: "In our daily practices we are endeavouring to express the great mystery of the Divine Incarnation."¹ I pray that this message may be explained to me—and that I be enabled to understand its meaning fully and clearly.

It means that we act as we do because we take it as a fact that the Divine can manifest and is manifested in a human body.

Is this a message which can be circulated to all the members of the Asram?

Yes, they ought to know it.

To outsiders?

Not unless they are interested and seek the meaning of what we do.

I am also eager to know whether in my occupations at Madras, professionally and otherwise, I can pursue the life outlined in the message? Whether this message has any relation to such a life as mine?

Yes, of course, it applies to everybody who accepts the fundamental truth on which Mother based what she wrote.

What is the utility of making an effort for other realisations & once we have known the supreme secret (uttamaṁ rahasyam) that you are the Divine Incarnate and the Mother is the ParaShakti? That is the highest realisation, I think, and all others—the realisation of the cosmic consciousness, of the presence of the immanent Divine, even of the silent immutable Brahman—are secondary in comparison with it. Whatever is to be done in the world will be done by you and the Mother.

Yes, but for that to be a constant realisation in its fullness the same effort has to be made and if made will bring the other realisations with it as parts of the main realisation.
