Words of the Mother - II

The Mother symbol
The Mother

This volume consists primarily of brief written statements by the Mother on various aspects of spiritual life. Written between the late 1920s and the early 1970s, the statements have been compiled from her public messages, private notes, and correspondence with disciples. About two-thirds of them were written in English; the rest were written in French and appear here in English translation. The volume also contains a small number of spoken comments, most of them in English. Some are tape-recorded messages; others are reports by disciples that were later approved by the Mother for publication.

Ego

The ego thinks of what it wants and has not. This is its constant preoccupation.

The soul is aware of what it is given and lives in endless gratitude.


Abolition of the ego: one exists only by the Divine and for the Divine.


All bitterness in life always comes from the ego refusing to abdicate.


All that happens is to teach us one and the same lesson, unless we get rid of our ego there is no peace either for ourselves or for others. And without ego life becomes such a wonderful marvel!...


We can contemplate the divine smile when we have conquered our ego.


Without the play of ego, there would be no conflicts; and if there were not in the vital a tendency to drama, there would be no dramatic happenings in life.

Page 257

Yes, those who live in their ego live constantly in an ugly drama. If people were a little less selfish things would not be so bad.

Meanwhile we must meet all these adverse circumstances with patience, endurance and equanimity.


The extent of your difficulties gives you the measure of your ego.


Divine Mother,

My giant enemy ego is sitting directly in my path and will not let me pass. In what manner should I fight him?

Ignore him and go through.


To get over our ego is not an easy task.

Even after overcoming it in the material consciousness, we meet it once more–magnified―in the spiritual.
