Questions and Answers (1955)

This volume is made up of talks given by the Mother in 1955 to the members of her French class. Held on Wednesday evenings at the Ashram Playground, the class was composed of sadhaks of the Ashram and students of its school. The Mother usually began by reading out a passage from one of her works or a French translation of one of Sri Aurobindo’s writings. She then commented on the passage or invited questions. For most of the year she discussed two small books by Sri Aurobindo, 'Bases of Yoga' and 'Lights on Yoga', and two chapters of 'The Synthesis of Yoga'. She spoke only in French.
