Contact with The Mother

THE SUPREME MOTHER

Once I went to hear a musical performance in the Ashram. When the song was being sung, I saw in a vision Sri Aurobindo sitting on a sofa against the wall opposite me. He had a big symbolical ball-like thing in his hand as if he was holding and revolving the whole earth between his fingers. I could see that all the goddesses were standing around him with folded hands.

It at once came to my mind, “What is the use of worshipping and invoking the Mother when all the goddesses and powers of the Mother pay their homage to the Divine? Why not adore only Sri Aurobindo?”

Next morning I went to the Mother, but she received me with the same affection which I had always got from her.

I wrote to Sri Aurobindo about my vision and my reactions to it. He replied in some such words: “What you saw is not the Supreme Mother. They are the aspects of the Mother. You should quiet your confused mind and take shelter in the Mother.”

I told the Mother all that had happened. She patted me and gave me her blessings’ warm and gracious touch and told me with a smile: “Never mind, I will do all for you.”
