Gautam Chawalla's Correspondence with The Mother

7 October 1966

We call You “Mother”, but this name is associated with a human quality, maternal and imperfect. How do you see “the Mother”?

It is Sri Aurobindo who called me Mother and it is his conception of the mother that he wanted for me. For him, the Mother is the Mahashakti, creatrix of the universe, as he has explained in his book The Mother.
