The Mother - Past-Present-Future

The Mother on the Inner Divine*

A PRONOUNCEMENT IN THE MIDDLE 1960's

You have to cling only to the Divine within. I have seen much in the world and always I found everything transitory. But when I met Sri Aurobindo, I said to myself, "Ah, this is stable at last!" (Pause) What a knock on the nose I received when Sri Aurobindo left his body. Of course, he is right here within me (the Mother put her hand on her chest), I can speak to him. He is close. But (spreading out her palms to both sides) he is not in the physical. One must cling to the Divine within. All these things—harmony in the collective and so on—they are all right, but it is to the Divine within that you have to cling.
