Contact with The Mother

"I AM EVERYWHERE"

I was just a boy, a new-comer to the Ashram, who knew little of Yoga. I had just the common religious feelings about Avatars and saints.

In my early days in the Ashram, I used to have fear, particularly fear of ghosts. One day I told the Mother about it.

After that, whenever I went to the Mother for blessings, she used to enquire what dreams had come to me the previous night.

“Did you fear last night?” she would ask me. I used to relate to her how the night had passed.

One night I saw a dream which was something unusual. It was like this: “I was going to my room, looking up. I saw the Mother there in the window. I had flowers, most probably those signifying faithfulness, in my hand. I took these to the Mother and offered them to her. As I was going to give them into the Mother’s hands, suddenly I saw thousands of Mothers, all in full physical form as if everywhere around me.”

Then I woke up.

When I went to the Mother next morning at 9 o’clock as usual just before the general blessings at 9.30 a.m., I narrated to her my dream.

“So you see,” she told me with a loving but serious emphasis, “I am everywhere. Then where is the reason for fear?” Then she blessed me with a few flowers and her photograph.

Ever since, I have had not a single frightening dream, nor felt any kind of fear at home even when alone.
