The Mother: "In the silence of the heart burns the lamp that can never be extinguished, the fire of an ardent Aspiration to know and to live integrally the Divine."
All the so-called major events of our life that are traditionally given so much value are hardly of consequence. Their importance derives from what we inwardly are and can become.
To each his way and his method but the most effective method is to form a real and direct relation with the Divine through faith, bhakti, consecration, service and surrender.
