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.
Never forget that you are not alone. The Divine is with you helping and guiding you. He is the companion who never fails, the friend whose love comforts and strengthens. Have faith and He will do everything for you.

Concentration upon oneself means decay and death. Concentration on the Divine alone brings life and growth and realisation.
Without the Divine life is a painful illusion, with the Divine all is bliss.
The ideal attitude is to belong only to the Divine, to work only for the Divine and above all to expect only from the Divine strength, peace and satisfaction. The Divine is all-merciful and gives us all that we need to lead us as quickly as possible to the goal.
It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. This Presence is the source of all peace, all joy, all security. Find this Presence in yourself and all your difficulties will disappear.
Day and night constantly the Presence is there.
It is enough to turn silently inward and we detect it.
Remember always the Divine and all you do will be an expression of the Divine Presence.
In activity and in silence, in taking and in giving, always the glad remembrance of Thee.
All our thoughts, all our sentiments will move towards the Divine as a river towards the sea.
Page 15
Let all thoughts, all feelings, all actions, all hopes be turned towards the Divine and concentrated on Him. He is our only help and our only safety.
Yes, my child, it is quite true that the Divine is the sole refuge―with Him is absolute safety.
