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.
You have no right to dispense with morality unless you submit yourself to a law that is higher and much more rigorous than any moral law.
28 May 1947
You can break the moral rules only when you observe the Divine Law.
Moral laws have only a very relative value from the point of view of Truth. Besides, they vary considerably according to country, climate and period.
Discussions are generally sterile and without productive value. If each one makes a personal effort of perfect sincerity, uprightness and good-will, the best conditions for the work will be realised.
August 1966
Never judge on appearances, still less on gossip.
What is moral in one country is immoral in another.
Service to the Divine exacts a sincerity of self-sacrifice unknown to any morality.
26 February 1969
