... of the Mother is the same as that of God. I thought that what we call Sri Aurobindo's Light or the Supramental Light leads to the realisation of God, while the realisation of the Mother is the realisation of Consciousness going parallel and also beyond in its separateness.

Path There is something undivine in the world, a part that seems obscure; I said to the Mother that its truth here is expressed by the Mother's Light.

If you allow such strange and wrong ideas to get hold of you, it is not surprising that you get ...

The light is a manifestation of Force, the nature... usually indicated by the colour of the light. Whitish blue is known as Sri Aurobindo's light or sometimes Sri Krishna's light. Whitish blue is Krishna's light or mine; deeper blues often indicate light from the higher consciousness. There are two pale blues, one which is whitish blue and is known as Sri Aurobindo's light, the other quite blue which is that of the higher consciousness just... just above mind. The meaning of blue light depends on the exact character of the colour, its shade and nature. A whitish blue like moonlight is known as Krishna's light or Sri Aurobindo's light—light blue is often that of the Illumined Mind—there is another deeper blue that is of the Higher Mind; another, near to purple, which is the light of a power in the vital.

... of his sadhana (the saptachatushtaya). Some utterances by the Mother even suggest that Sri Aurobindo had been Krishna, ‘a formation of the past,’ and the fact that the light of the aura of both of them is the same seems to confirm this. ‘Whitish blue is Sri Aurobindo’s light or Krishna’s light,’ Sri Aurobindo himself wrote. 10 The Word of Creation ‘I had begun a sort of overmental creation... experience as myself.’ (Quoted in K.D.

If we are sincere in our choice of the spiritual path, we shall always have the presence of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother with us and that presence... out from her to her children during their daily exchanges of love. Her sense of the new light which Sri Aurobindo had drawn from rare altitudes and was being lavishly distributed by her to their disciples was always lively - in fact it could not help being such to one who was an incarnation of this light. That sense made her keenly aware of whether or not the people who approached her were alive ...
