My Savitri work with the Mother

31 May 1961

Then she spoke something about new birth, which I could not grasp. So I wrote to her for an explanation. She replied:

31.5.61

My dear little child Huta,

I shall see you on 5th June at 10 a.m. When I speak of "New Birth" I am always speaking of the birth of a new consciousness. This time it was the birth (that is, the expression) of a higher artistic consciousness.

With love and blessings

The Mother has stated about the "New Birth":

What is called 'New Birth' is the birth into the spiritual life, into the spiritual consciousness: it is to carry in oneself something of the Spirit which, through the individual soul, can begin to govern the life and be the master of one's existence. In the supramental world it is the Spirit which will become the master of this world in its entirety and of all its manifestations and all its expressions consciously, spontaneously, naturally.

Instantly my memory flew back to the year 1957, when the Mother had been teaching me painting right from the very beginning. At that time she had said:

Here you must remember that the growth of consciousness is indispensable for your painting, because what you learn from books or from professors is of no use until you get into the higher true artistic consciousness.

I had crossed the barrier and was on the other side. This was the starting point of vast vistas opening before me. I felt that the Mother would unfold for me the scrolls of secret and sacred knowledge of the other worlds.

Then the Mother gave the meaning and got this painting printed.

Soul of Beauty

Later the picture appeared in several magazines.
