This volume consists of two separate but related works: 'The Mother', a collection of short prose pieces on the Mother, and 'Letters on the Mother', a selection of letters by Sri Aurobindo in which he referred to the Mother in her transcendent, universal and individual aspects. In addition, the volume contains Sri Aurobindo's translations of selections from the Mother's 'Prières et Méditations' as well as his translation of 'Radha's Prayer'.
THEME/S
The Mother is within but the darshan of her helps to realise the Divine on the physical plane also.

I would like to know if it is harmful to talk while waiting for the Mother to come out? I sometimes cannot help talking, laughing and joking.
If you attach any value to the darshan, it is better to be recueilli. If her coming is only one incident of the day's routine like taking dinner, then of course it does not matter.

Is there any difference between recueilli and concentrated?
Recueilli means drawn back, quiet and collected in oneself.

The best way for Darshan is to keep oneself very collected and quiet and open to receive whatever the Mother gives.
