Mother You said so ...

25 February 1966

I asked the Mother whether the Gods and Goddesses of the Overmind could help human beings...

She said,

Gods and Goddesses of the Overmind haven't yet surrendered to the Supreme Lord because they have their own great Power and they live in the Higher Consciousness.

When Sri Aurobindo was in his body, I used to give blessings on the Puja days. They used to come.... Also when I was going downstairs and giving meditations all these Gods and Goddesses used to assemble over there. But they are indeed independent; you see, for example, one of Kali's many aspects comes to me and tells me when human beings do wrong things. And I keep Her quiet. Also one of the aspects of Durga came to me last year on one of the Puja days. She was simply magnificent. I asked Her to surrender to the Supreme Lord. She said, 'This is exactly I wanted You to tell me. I am ready!' She was really wonderful.

In 1960, on the night previous to the First Anniversary of the Supramental Manifestation, Krishna came to me and told me, 'It is I who will distribute tomorrow's message.' So the next day when I went down, He sat on my lap and started giving blessings to people. It was really so amusing, seeing Him do so.... So, you see, these Gods are independent with their own Powers and are free to do as they like.

When I was staying in another house (not here) I was very much attached to Shiva. I asked Him to manifest on earth. He said, "No, I will not do so. I shall come only when the Supramental Race will be on this earth." So I had nothing to say. He is free.

Ever since I took birth on this earth, these Gods and Goddesses have been constantly with me.

In the old days, when I was taking a walk on the verandah, Krishna used to walk with me.

I know that these Gods and Goddesses will help human beings in the New Creation, the New World of the Supermind...
