This volume consists of two separate but related works: 'The Mother', a collection of short prose pieces on the Mother, and 'Letters on the Mother', a selection of letters by Sri Aurobindo in which he referred to the Mother in her transcendent, universal and individual aspects. In addition, the volume contains Sri Aurobindo's translations of selections from the Mother's 'Prières et Méditations' as well as his translation of 'Radha's Prayer'.
THEME/S
The Mother's light is white―especially diamond white. The Mahakali form is usually golden, of a very bright and strong golden hue.

The golden light is the light of the Divine Truth on the higher planes above the ordinary mind―a light supramental in origin. It is also the light of Mahakali above the mind. The golden light is also often seen emanating from the Mother like the white light.

Q: I have heard that the colour of Kali is black and she has four hands. But I saw her in my vision with only two hands and her colour was bright white. Why did I see her like this?
A: The black Kali form is a manifestation on the vital plane of Mahakali―but Mahakali herself in the Overmind is golden. What you saw was the Mother herself in her body of light with the Mahakali power in her, but not the actual form of Mahakali.

It depends on the shade of the yellow. If it is golden white it comes from above the mind and the combination suggests the Maheshwari-Mahakali power. Higher Mind colour is pale blue.
21-3-1938
The line of golden light is a line of the light of the higher Divine Truth encircling the ākāśa of the heart and the diamond mass is the Mother's light pouring into that ākāśa. It is therefore a sign of these powers working on the psychic-emotional centre.
