My Savitri work with the Mother

09 February 1961

Whether I liked to undergo the hideous difficulties or not, I was compelled to accept them to purify my whole being and to prepare myself for the higher Consciousness. I was inspired to write a letter to the Mother on 9th February 1961 expressing that I should make my life worth living by doing something concrete and genuine which might be profitable to others. The Mother replied:

Huta, My dear little child,

I have read your excellent letter and mostly agree with what you write. The best indeed, is that we should have a good talk together.

So I shall see you tomorrow the 10th at 10 a.m.

With all my love and blessings

We had a "good talk" about what I should do and become. My soul's prayer to her was: "O Mother, make me your true and perfect child, and use my whole life for your purpose." The Mother held my hands, looked deeply into my eyes for a long unfathomable moment and then said:

I will take you to your goal. Your aspiration will be fulfilled.

And she smiled reassuringly. She went into a trance for a few moments, then opened her eyes and said:

Behind all troubles, behind all difficulties, there is the Divine Grace. When you are on the point of falling down and actually fall, the Grace appears.

Sri Aurobindo has written something similar:

The Divine holds our hand through all and if he seems to let us fall, it is only to raise us higher
