Philosophy and Writings

The Mother

Many of the letters that deal mainly with Yoga have now been edited and published in book form. The Riddle of This World, Lights on Yoga, Bases of Yoga, and The Mother . . . are all the fruits of the Ashram period.

The Mother had not the same origin as the other books mentioned. The main part of this book describing the four Shaktis etc. was written independently and not as a letter, so also the first part.
