The Mother

Purpose of the Mother's Embodiment

Q: Am I right in thinking that she as an individual embodies all the Divine Powers and brings down the Grace more and more to the physical plane, and her embodiment is a chance for the entire physical consciousness to change and be transformed?

A: Yes. Her embodiment is a chance for the earth-consciousness to receive the Supramental into it and to undergo first the transformation necessary for that to be possible. Afterwards there will be a further transformation by the Supramental, but the whole earth-consciousness will not be supramentalised―there will be first a new race representing the Supermind, as man represents the mind.

There is one divine Force which acts in the universe and in the individual and is also beyond the individual and the universe. The Mother stands for all these, but she is working here in the body to bring down something not yet expressed in this material world so as to transform life here―it is so that you should regard her as the Divine Shakti working here for that purpose.

She is that in the body, but in her whole consciousness she is also identified with all the other aspects of the Divine.

There are not many Mothers, there is One in many forms. The transcendental is only one aspect of the Mother. I don't know what is meant by the embodied aspect of the transcendental Mother. There is the embodied aspect of the One Mother―what she manifests through it depends on herself.

Q: Why does the Mother in her universal action act according to the law of things, but in her embodied physical by constant Grace?

A: It is the work of the Cosmic Power to maintain the cosmos and the law of the cosmos. The greater transformation comes from the Transcendent above the universal, and it is that transcendent Grace which the embodiment of the Mother is there to bring into action.

Q: What would you say about the utility of the physical approach to the Mother?

A: There is the utility of the physical approach to the Mother―the approach of the embodied mind and vital to her embodied Power. In her universal action the Mother acts according to the law of things―in her embodied physical action is the opportunity of a constant Grace―it is for that that the embodiment takes place.
