Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

17 September 1946

I heartily recognise that the one right attitude towards you is one of absolute surrender and submission. It follows that when I do not understand things, I should silence the questionings of my mind rather than indulge them. My strongest inclination now is to dismiss my questions outright and submit them all to the sovereign remedy of absolute surrender. Is it the right approach, Mother?

My dear child, the best and truer attitude is much more a conscious, willing, loving collaboration with the Divine rather than a dumb and blind submission. It is even this fact that is at the origin of the liberty to wander away from the path with, as its consequence, the condition of the world as it is. It is freely that the divided consciousness must choose to turn to the Divine and to follow His law.
