Words of the Mother - II

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.

Receptivity

Receptivity is the capacity of admitting and retaining the Divine Workings.


Receptivity: conscious of the Divine Will and surrendered to it.


Integral receptivity: the whole being is aware of the Divine Will and obeys it.


Psychic receptivity: the psychic responds joyously to the ascending force.


Mental receptivity: always ready to learn.


Emotional receptivity: emotions wanting to be divinised.


Vital receptivity happens only when the vital understands that it must be transformed.

The vital blossoms in aspiration for the Divine.

Physical receptivity: that which one should not have except towards the Divine.


Supramentalised receptivity: the receptivity of tomorrow.

It is with the widening of the consciousness and the one-pointedness of the aspiration that the receptivity increases.


By revolt the doors of receptivity are closed.


In order to be filled anew the vessel must get empty sometimes.

It is when we are preparing for greater receptivities that we feel empty.


Consciousness?

Be receptive―it is there.

Love and blessings.

Try to be satisfied with what you receive―for it is a matter of receptivity, because―you can believe me―I give always much more than what the people are capable of receiving―and in two or three minutes they could have quite enough to go for a whole month. But the mind interferes with its ignorant demands and the whole thing is spoiled.

My love is always with you; if then you do not feel it, it is because you are not capable of receiving it. It is your receptivity that is lacking and should be increased; for this you must open yourself, and one opens oneself only if one gives oneself. Surely you are trying more or less consciously to draw the forces and the divine love towards you. The method is bad. Give yourself without calculating and without expecting anything in return, and then you will become capable of receiving.

How can we know that we are receptive?

When we feel the urge to give and the joy of giving to the Divine's work, then we can be sure that we have become receptive.


To be receptive

To be receptive is to feel the urge to give and the joy of giving to the Divine's Work all one has, all one is, all one does.
