… someone had asked Mother how all those then present had happened to meet, and Mother had answered: “We have all met in previous lives. Otherwise we would not have come together in this life.” [Questions and Answers 1929, 7 April]
It can be said that it is chance or that it is because we have always been together, and both are equally true. As this lady liked occultism I told her also, “We have met in a previous life” and that is true, isn’t it? But it is a way of seeing things. Also, “We all belong to the same family”, this too is true but not in the way in which human beings look at it.
I also said, “We have worked together through the ages for the victory of the Divine and His manifestation upon earth.” This is quite evident, for the universe has been created for that and therefore every part of the universe, whatever it be, works for it, knowingly or unknowingly, but works for it all the same.
