The Mother's brief written statements on various aspects of spiritual life including some spoken comments.
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.
If errors and mistakes could not be effaced at every moment, there would be no hope of salvation for the world.
Do not give too much importance to the little incidents of life.
The importance of these incidents lies in the extent to which they have served you to make a progress.
And once the progress has been made, the consequences of past errors, if there are any, disappear through the intervention of the divine Grace.
For the Supreme Lord, sin does not exist―all defect can be effaced by sincere aspiration and by transformation.
What you feel is the aspiration of your soul that wants to discover the Divine and live Him.
Persevere, be more and more sincere and you will succeed.
24 April 1964
Sin belongs to the world and not to yoga.
If you make one mistake in life, then you may have to suffer all your life. It does not mean that everybody suffers like that. There are people who go on making mistakes and yet they do not suffer. But those who are born for a spiritual life have to be very careful.
