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.

Forget about Difficulties

My nature appears childish to me!

One must not attach too much importance to these little things. What is important is always to keep in view the ideal that one wants to realise and always to try one's best to realise it.


Yes, after all, these small superficial things are of very little importance if compared to the mission we have to fulfil upon earth.

Page 223


We must always keep in mind the big ideal and work that is to be achieved so that we should not give too much importance to small details, trifles that must not draw our attention; let them come, let them go like small clouds in the sky, which do not affect the fine weather.


Do not attach undue importance to unimportant things.

We must be freed from all care for contingencies, we must be delivered from the ordinary outlook on things.


Never think of a difficulty―you give it strength.


Do not concentrate on an obstacle; that only strengthens it.


If you go on thinking of the trouble, it will go on increasing. If you concentrate upon it, it will swell up, it will think that it is being welcomed. But if you don't pay any attention, it will lose interest in you and go away.1

The best remedy is to stop thinking of yourself and your defects and difficulties.

Let us think only of the big work to be done, the ideal that Sri Aurobindo has given us to realise. The work and NOT how we do it.

I will help.

Forget your difficulties. Think only of being a more and more perfect instrument for the Divine to do His work and the Divine will conquer all your difficulties and transform you.

With love and blessings.


Forget your difficulties.

Forget yourself...

And the Lord will take care of your progress.

With love and blessings.


Divine Mother, I implore you to illumine and put a living faith in this dark area in me.

Do not give any importance to that part and it will lose its strength and little by little even its existence.

My love and blessings are always with you.
