Integral Yoga
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
From the intimations frequently received from the play of lights seen in visions, I am having a deep feeling that Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are the same though we see them in different bodies. Is my feeling right?
Yes.

In the centre of the flower "The Supramental manifestation upon earth", I saw both the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I saw only their faces and they were in the same figure and at the same time. What does this signify?
It is our joint or united presence in the manifestation.

Today while the Mother was blessing me, I felt Sri Aurobindo's hand beside the Mother's hand. But when I opened my eyes, I saw only the Mother sitting there. Why did I experience this? Did Sri Aurobindo come at this time?
I am always with the Mother—it was therefore quite natural that you should feel the double blessing.

The Mother and myself stand for the same Power in two forms—so the perception in the dream was perfectly logical. IshwaraShakti, Purusha-Prakriti are only the two sides of the one Divine (Brahman).

It is a very common experience—that of the identity between myself and the Mother (the perception that we are one) expressed in the fusing of the two images.
