THEME/S
Q: In her book "Conversations" the Mother says: "We have all met in previous lives...and have worked through ages for the victory of the Divine."1 Is this true of all people who come and stay here? What about so many who came and went away?
A: Those who went away were also of these and still are of that circle. Temporary checks do not make any difference to the essential truth of the soul's seeking.

Q: In what way have we all "worked through ages for the victory of the Divine"? How much has been achieved till now?
A: By the victory is meant the final emergence of the embodied consciousness on earth from the bondage of the Ignorance. That had to be prepared through the ages by a spiritual evolution. Naturally, the work up till now has been a preparation of which the long spiritual effort and experience of the past has been the outcome. It has reached a point at which the decisive effort has become possible.
