Letters of Sri Aurobindo

3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19267

When I am alone I feel a sweet flow of love for the Mother and surrender to her welling out from my heart. But when I am in her physical presence I do not feel this love. Why does this happen?

It is when you live in the psychic that there is this feeling – but the psychic commands at present only a part of the mind and vital – it does not yet control the most external parts, that is why you do not feel it when in the Mother’s physical presence.
