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.
Doesn't transformation demand a very high degree of aspiration, surrender and receptivity?
Transformation demands a total and integral consecration. But isn't this the aspiration of all sincere sadhaks?
Total means vertically in all the states of being, from the most material to the most subtle.
Integral means horizontally in all the different and often contradictory parts which constitute the outer being, physical, vital and mental.
The being organised around the psychic: the first stage of transformation.
Mental opening: the first step of the mind towards transformation.
Mental prayer: spontaneous in a mind aspiring for transformation.
Thirst to understand: very useful for transformation.
Honesty in the physical mind: preliminary indispensable condition for transformation.

Integral offering of the vital: an important stage towards transformation.
Renunciation of emotional desires: indispensable for transformation.
Not only the mind and the vital, but the body also in all its cells must aspire for the divine transformation.
Physical plasticity: one of the important conditions of the transformation.
Let the physical offer itself sincerely to the Divine and it will be transformed. This is proof of the resolution to liberate oneself from the ego.
Humility before the Divine in the physical nature: first attitude needed for transformation.
Psychic light in the physical movements: the first step towards the transformation of the physical.
Psychic light in the material movements: essential condition for transformation.
Psychic awakening in matter: matter open to spiritual life.

Matter under the supramental guidance: the condition required for its transformation.
Supramental light in the subconscient: essential condition for transformation.
Supramental influence in the subconscient: under its modest appearance it is a great force for transformation.
Transformation is the change by which all the elements, and all the movements of the being become ready to manifest the supramental Truth.
