At the Feet of The Mother

February 21, 1914 (PM 077)

This prayer is a rare and beautiful treasure recorded by the Mother on her 36th Birthday before meeting Sri Aurobindo. It gives us a glimpse into how we should look upon life and with what poise we must meet its various challenges.

February 21, 1914

THE EACH day, each moment, must be an occasion for a new and completer consecration; and not one of those enthusiastic and trepidant consecrations, overactive, full of the illusion of the work, but a profound and silent consecration which need not be apparent, but which penetrates and transfigures every action. Our mind, solitary and at peace, must rest always in Thee, and from this pure summit it must have the exact perception of realities, of the sole and eternal Reality, behind unstable and fugitive appearances.

O Lord, my heart is purified from trouble and anguish; it is firm and calm, and it sees Thee in everything; and whatever the outer actions, whatever the circumstances the future has in store for us, I know that Thou alone livest, that Thou alone art real in Thy immutable permanence, and it is in Thee that we live.

May there be peace upon all the earth.


The text above is quoted from the Third Edition, 1954 (translation by Rishabhchand Samsukha)

There is no harm in the vital taking part in the joy of the rest of the being; it is the participation of the vital that makes it dynamic and communicates it to the external nature.
