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.
To speak always the truth is the highest title of nobility.
One drop of truth is worth more than an ocean of false information.
Never tell a lie: absolute condition for safety on the path.

Each lie uttered is a step taken towards disintegration.
I have always and will always forbid lies.
If you do not wish to say something which is true, instead of lying just keep silent.
Let nothing be written with this pen except what is perfectly true.
14 June 1934
If we allow a falsehood, however small, to express itself through our mouth or our pen, how can we hope to become perfect messengers of Truth? A perfect servant of Truth should abstain even from the slightest inexactitude, exaggeration or deformation.
Silence is far superior to inexactitude.
