At the feet of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo

02 April 1935

MYSELF: Mother, when you accept somebody, doesn’t it mean that you have found in him even a small part that desires sincerely the Divine and that you give him a chance for it? Accepting someone permanently — does it mean anything more than that?

SRI AUROBINDO: What you say about whom we receive that if one part of them sincerely desires the Divine, we give them a chance — is quite true. If we demanded more at the beginning, exceedingly few would be able to commence the journey towards the Divine.
