The Mother

This volume contains the conversations of the Mother in 1957 and 1958 with the members of her Wednesday evening French class, held at the Ashram Playground. The class was composed of sadhaks of the Ashram and students of the Ashram’s school. The Mother usually began by reading out a passage from a French translation of one of Sri Aurobindo’s writings; she then commented on it or invited questions. For most of 1957 the Mother discussed the second part of 'Thoughts and Glimpses' and the essays in 'The Supramental Manifestation upon Earth'. From October 1957 to November 1958 she took up two of the final chapters of 'The Life Divine'. These conversations comprise the last of the Mother’s 'Wednesday classes', which began in 1950.

Note on the Text


These conversations of 1957 and 1958 were spoken by the Mother in French and appear here in English translation. All of them were tape-recorded. Passages from some of these conversations were published in the French original with an English translation in issues of the Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education between 1957 and 1963. In 1973 a new English translation of all the conversations was brought out as a book entitled Questions and Answers 1957 & 1958. The same book, with minor revisions of the translation, was published in 1977 under the title Questions and Answers 1957–58 as Volume 9 of the Collected Works of the Mother (first edition). The present volume, which is part of the second edition of the Collected Works of the Mother, has the same text as the first edition, except for some minor revisions of the translation.

Passages from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother are sometimes quoted in the text and footnotes. The sources of these works are the Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library, (SABCL) and the Collected Works of the Mother (CWM), second edition.
