The central element of this yoga is not any intellectual or other knowledge or experience, but a turning and eventual giving of all one is and does to the Divine Mother. Nothing else is then needed. All the readings and writings, all meditation and prayers and other practices and disciplines must center and converge around this one single focus of opening oneself to the Mother more and more in a spirit of faith, devotion and sincerity. In this yoga the key is to remain psychically open to the Mother and to no other, not even to the Force but to the Mother alone. By turning towards someone else who claims to be a guru of Integral Yoga or an appointed successor of Their Divine legacy, one actually comes into contact with their consciousness, whereas one should go directly and straight towards the Mother. And for this turning and opening to the Mother one needs no other person or aid, save a faith and receptivity born out of love and devotion towards Her. Sometimes it is enough to merely call Her Name or meditate upon Her luminous form within or on Her photograph. She has left a host of aids for a physical contact with Her Consciousness. Her symbol, photographs, voice and music are among such concrete aids that help the sadhaka come into contact with Her Consciousness through outer channels. One needs no one else. Even one of these aids is enough, while there are many of them to help us on the Path.
Death decries every ideal as merely a shadow and in imagination with no footing on ground realities.
