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.
Surrender: to will what the Divine wills is the supreme wisdom.
To will what God wills―that is the supreme secret.
Will one with the Divine will: a condition that triumphs over all obstacles.
Divine Will―the will expressing the highest Truth.
Let us do our best in all circumstances, leaving the result to the Divine's decision.

One of the main problems of the present world is that the population has increased enormously in the last 100 years.
(1) How have so many souls evolved in such a short time?
(2) What will be the destiny of the world in regard to its population? Will the numbers go on increasing with the current speed or will there be at a certain period a drop without any artificial means?
Page 111
(3) In case the population decreases in the future, what will be the fate of so many souls that have evolved so far?
There is a Supreme Consciousness that governs the manifestation. His wisdom is certainly much greater than ours. So we need not bother about what will happen.
Blessings.
The Lord is always victorious―in his own way, not in the human way―according to his own will, not according to the will of men.
The Lord is always present―only we do not realise it.
We are always free to make our proposals to the Lord, but after all it is only His will that is realised.
If one looks from high enough, whatever one does one never wastes one's time since one acts according to one's nature and―without knowing it―according to the will of the Lord.
16 August 1962
Be quiet and offer yourself calmly and confidently.
All that happens is always the effect of the Supreme's Will.
Human action can be the occasion but never the cause.
