Mother You said so ...

16 June 1957

The Mother was about to enter into a trance. I asked her: "Mother, how to check vagrant thoughts and concentrate on the Divine?"

Her eyes widened. Then a gentle smile outlined her lips when she said:

Indeed, the mind is just like a squirrel which is turning round and round in a cage that also is revolving. But you should gather all thoughts to a point at the centre of the forehead and then bring them down to the heart, go deep within by turning fully inward, as if you were going into a well which is not very broad. You have to go down step by step. First of all, of course, you will move on the surface and then go deep inside and there you can find the real thing and see every-thing with your inner eyes.

There is also another way. It is like this: Imagine that there is an inner chamber, into which you can step back—the chamber has an outer door through which you must pass.

You must pull all your thoughts inside yourself like tortoises, whenever wrong suggestions come and attack you.

You should awaken your inner sense and have a psychic touch. Then, no doubt, you can find the Truth; otherwise it is understood that you have not yet started the inner journey to find the Divine. Nevertheless, this needs a lot of practice—it cannot come in a day. It takes years and years.
