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.
No joy can be greater than that of serving the Divine.
There is no greater joy than to serve the Divine.

We must be always, solely and exclusively, the servitors of the Divine.

We should be in no other service but in God's alone.
Above all preferences we want to be at the service of the Divine.

To be at the Divine's service is the surest means of attaining realisation.
(About service to the Divine and meditation)
Both are equally good. Nevertheless, through service one can attain a fuller realisation than through meditation alone.
All service done sincerely to the Divine is sadhana.
And all increase in the urge to serve is a sure sign of progress.

Whatever you do in life must be done as a service to the Divine and nobody else.
Whatever you are, think or feel, you are responsible for it to the Divine and to nobody else.
He is the sole Master of your being and your life. If in all sincerity you surrender entirely to Him He will take charge of you and your heart will be in peace.
All the rest belongs to the world of Ignorance and is governed by ignorance which means confusion and suffering.
Blessings.

Energy is in perpetual movement. It enters and leaves your physical being (mental, vital and material) and it is during your stay in what you call "you" that you must make of it an offering to the Divine and put it at His service.
Then automatically you will do at each instant what the Divine wants you to do.

The whole life turned towards the Divine, offered to the Divine, at the service of the Divine, to become little by little an expression of the Divine.
