An interview with Aster Patel by Anie Nunnally
Her name was changed to Aster by the Mother. It is remarkable to note here that Dr. Sen named his daughter Mira (the same name as the Mother) before ever having met the Mother or knowing anything about her.
Her Name must remain the main support, singing behind as rejuvenating music of life, running with our breath as a nectarous stream into which we can dip whenever we have a little time amidst all we do, our work and exercise and rest.
The more we quieten the consciousness by removing from it the element of desire and doubts and ignorant conceptions, the more the Divine Will begins to act within and through us. The present talk is focused upon the action of the Divine Will.

... if you enter consciously into the psychic, it is dazzling; and it is within your reach because it is your own psychic being, and yet it is so different from your external consciousness that the first time you enter it consciously, it seems to you truly dazzling, something infinitely more brilliant than the most brilliant sunlight.
The Mother: Past-Present-Future
