The Mother's brief statements on Sri Aurobindo, Herself, the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Auroville, India and and nations other than India.
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.
(Mother designated the red lotus as the flower of Sri Aurobindo and the white lotus as her own.)

When in your heart and thought you will make no difference between Sri Aurobindo and me, when to think of Sri Aurobindo will be to think of me and to think of me will mean to think of Sri Aurobindo inevitably, when to see one will mean inevitably to see the other, like one and the same Person,—then you will know that you begin to be open to the supramental force and consciousness.
