The Mother's brief statements on various aspects of spiritual life including some conversations.
Part One consists primarily of brief written statements by the Mother on various aspects of spiritual life. Written between the early 1930s 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. There are also 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. These reports are identified by the symbol § placed at the end. Part Two consists of thirty-two conversations not included elsewhere in the Collected Works. The first six conversations are the earliest recorded conversations of the 1950s' period. About three-fourths of these conversations were spoken in French and appear here in English translation.
Artistic taste is pleased with beautiful things and is itself beautiful.
Artistic sensibility: a powerful aid to fight ugliness.
Artistic works: all work at the service of beauty.
Mother,
May we ask X [an artist] to work on activities which are non-artistic?
All and everything can be artistic if it is done in an artistic spirit.

Beauty is a great power.
Spiritual beauty has a contagious power.
Beauty does not get its full power except when it is surrendered to the Divine.
The beauty of tomorrow: beauty which will express the Divine Power.

The beauty of tomorrow manifesting the Divine: a beauty that exists only by the Divine and for the Divine.
Beauty is not sufficient in itself, it wants to become divine.
Pure sense of beauty can be acquired only through a great purification.
The ideal of Beauty moves towards its infinite goal.
Among the most precious things in life are those you do not see with physical eyes.
