Gautam Chawalla's Correspondence with The Mother

10 January 1967

Insult, self-respect and so on — do they have any place in sadhana?

Insult, self-respect and other such movements belong to the “ego” and they have no place in the yoga of transformation. As soon as one has found one’s psychic being and identified with it, all this seems ridiculously infantile — until the time comes when these things can no longer exist because they do not correspond to anything real.
