INSPIRING QUOTES
– THE MOTHER on ASPIRATION –
‘This taste for supreme adventure is aspiration – an aspiration which takes hold of you completely and flings you, without calculation and without reserve
and without a possibility of withdrawal,
into the great adventure of the divine discovery,
the great adventure of the divine meeting,
the yet greater adventure of the divine Realisation.’

Aspiration is like an arrow, like this (gesture). So you aspire, want very earnestly to understand,
know, enter into the truth. Yes?
And then with that aspiration you do this (gesture). Your aspiration rises, rises, rises, rises straight
up, very strong
and then it strikes against a kind of… how to put it?… lid which is there, hard like iron and
extremely thick, and it does not pass through.
And then you say, “See, what’s the use of aspiring? It brings nothing at all.
I meet with something hard and cannot pass!”
But you know about the drop of water which falls on the rock, it ends up by making a chasm:it cuts
the rock from top to bottom. Your aspiration is a drop of water which, instead of falling, rises.
So, by dint of rising, it beats, beats, beats, and one day it makes a hole, by dint of rising;
and when it makes the hole suddenly it springs out from this lid and enters an immensity of light,
and you say, “Ah, now I understand.”
13 July 1955
Keep the fire burning steadily and wait quietly for the sure result …

EPILOGUE
During the common meditation on Wednesday the 29th February 1956
This evening the Divine Presence, concrete and material, was there present amongst you.
I had a form of living gold, bigger than the universe, and I was facing a huge and massive
golden door which separated the world from the Divine.
As I looked at the door, I knew and willed, in a single movement of consciousness, that THE
TIME HAS COME, and lifting with both hands a mighty golden hammer I struck one blow,
one single blow on the door and the door was shattered to pieces.
Then the supramental Light and Force and Consciousness rushed down upon earth in an
uninterrupted flow.
The Mother then took this passage from her‘Prayers and Meditations’ of 25 September 1914 :
The Lord hast willed, and Thou dost execute;
A new Light shall break upon the earth.
A new world shall be born.
And the things that were promised shall be fulfilled.
… and rewrote it:
29 February – 29 March
Lord, Thou hast willed, and I execute:
A new light breaks upon the earth,
A new world is born.
The things that were promised are fulfilled.
