WRITINGS BY THE MOTHER
© Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust

My most beloved Mother, the idea of separation opens between You and me like a frightening abyss. I am not satisfied; from where does this dissatisfaction come?

It is always the vital being which protests and complains. The psychic being works with perseverance and ardour to make the union an accomplished fact, but it never complains, and knows how to wait for the hour of realisations to come.

*

It is the vital which asks and asks and is never satisfied... The psychic, the true deep feelings are always satisfied and never ask for anything. The psychic feels my constant presence, is aware of my love and solicitude, and is always peaceful, happy and satisfied.

*

There is a joy in seeking, a joy in waiting, a joy in aspiring, at least as great as in possessing.
