Ever we hear in the heart of the peril a flute go before us,
Luminous beckoning hands in the distance invite and implore us.

Sri Aurobindo, Collected Poems: Ahana

=============

When the Mother and I were doing the painting of Sri Aurobindo's poems, she wanted me to paint the vision she had seen many years back.

This picture, which is to be a mural, relates to the Mother's Vision.

Here is the Universal Deity — one of the Mother's aspects — sitting on a boulder, in the midst of a beautiful scenery, giving the Spiritual Wealth to people of all Nations.

The picture was meant to be a vast conception and not restrict itself to a narrow representation.

This aspect also stands for Mother India whom the Mother looking into the future, calls "The Guru of the world."

When the Mother saw this painting she suggested one or two alterations which I have made.

On seeing the final picture she expressed her satisfaction and pleasure.

Originally the Mother wished this vision to be painted on the right-side wall at the entrance of Golconde.

Under the brook in the painting a concealed pipe has to be arranged so that water may trickle through the grooves which are in Golconde between the slabs. People will have the illusion that the water is flowing from the brook in the picture.

In this water people have to wash their feet and after wiping them on a big mat near the steps, go to their rooms.
