At the Feet of The Mother
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Savitri outwardly remains calm and sweet and forbearing in her dealings with her little world around, but inwardly she suffers with the foreknowledge of death. She experiences now the entire range of human life and identifies with it.
"... every morning my aspiration rises ardently towards Thee and I implore that my being, integrally awakened to the knowledge of Thee, may live only by Thee, in Thee and for Thee..."

Yoga has been defined in various ways and each definition corresponds to some state that one arrives at by means of yoga. One such wonderful state described by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is ‘Oneness’. It is even one of the fundamental states to be experienced, a basis on which all else can be built. The essence of this condition is to see the Divine in all things and everywhere.
Once the opening is created to the action of the Divine Shakti, there starts, in the fields of Nature, the downpour of Divine Peace and Light and Harmony and Beauty and Bliss. Thus, we discover the divine vibration or rhythmic Immortal Word that saves, and the seers become its recipients and upholders as well as instruments of its creative expression and manifestation.
People coming from outside ask even now, "What is the Ashram doing for the country, for the world?" Mother answered simply, "I am doing something which is not done anywhere else in the world — I am awakening the soul in my children, the soul that alone can save and nothing else." ... The Mother is holding it in you; you come in contact with it through your contact with the Mother. Love the Mother, be one with her; then you will find and be this living soul of yours.

I am swallowed in a foam-white sea of bliss, I am a curving wave of God’s delight, A shapeless flow of happy passionate light, A whirlpool of the streams of Paradise.
A talk by Dr Alok Pandey (AUDIO IN HINDI)
Savitri must experience the entire play of human life and human love. She must face the difficulty and the danger, the fleeting joys and the grief that afflicts human hopes, so that She may find the true remedy.
"...O Lord, eternal Master, enlighten us, guide our steps, show us the way towards the realisation of Thy law, towards the accomplishment of Thy work. I adore Thee in silence and listen to Thee in a religious concentration."
