Mother's Q And A 26/9/56
Personal Contact With Mother – Receiving The Force
In the Ashram, the value of Mother’s physical presence was for helping the physical consciousness and the physical body to be an integral part of the inner progress. Today the force carries the physical change. We have to begin inside, and only when we are ready within can our outer parts participate in the process of integral transformation and change. Mother pointed out that if there was no opening to the force it did no good to be in her physical presence. The important point was, and still is, to establish the inner contact. In Mother the Consciousness acted for purification, and it still does. Automatically it is like a ray of light that brings light where there was no light before, and it illumines all the bad parts of the being so they are seen as they truly are. We should not hide them. We should see them as something we want to get rid of permanently, and offer them for that purpose.
