Words of the Mother - I
This volume consists primarily of brief written statements by the Mother about Sri Aurobindo, Herself, the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Auroville, India, and nations other than India. Written over a period of nearly sixty years (1914-1973), the statements have been compiled from her public messages, private notes, and correspondence with disciples. The majority (about sixty per cent) were written in English; the rest were written in French and appear here in translation. The volume also contains a number of conversations, most of them in the part on Auroville. All but one were spoken in French and appear here in translation.
Blessings
Every day, at each moment, my blessings are with you.
My child,
My blessings are with you to widen and purify your consciousness so that peace may always be within you.
Whether the words are written or not, I always send you my blessings.
My blessings are always there to awaken you, but you must want to make use of them.
Blessings are a manifestation of the divine grace, in favour of an individual or a collectivity.
My love and blessings are with you. Understand that blessings are for the best spiritual result, not necessarily according to human wishes.
My blessings are very dangerous. They cannot be for this one or

for that one or against this person or against that thing. It is for... or, well, I will put it in a mystic way:
It is for the Will of the Lord to be done, with full force and power. So it is not necessary that there should always be a success. There might be a failure also, if such is the Will of the Lord. And the Will is for the progress, I mean the inner progress. So whatever will happen will be for the best.
