THE MOTHER’S LIGHT

The Mother’s Light

 

The Mother’s consciousness is the divine consciousness and the Light that comes from it is the light of the Divine Truth. One who receives and accepts and lives in the Mother’s light, will begin to see the truth on all the planes, the mental, the vital, the physical. He will reject all that is undivine, – the undivine is the falsehood, the ignorance, the error of the dark forces; the undivine is all that is obscure and unwilling to accept the Divine Truth and its light and force. The undivine, therefore, is all that is unwilling to accept the light and force of the Mother. That is why I am always telling you to keep in contact with the Mother and her Light and Force, because it is only so that you can come out of this confusion and obscurity and receive the Truth that comes from above. When we speak of the Mother’s Light or my Light in a special sense, we are speaking of a special occult action – we are speaking of certain lights that come from the Supermind. In this action the Mother’s is the White Light that purifies, illumines, brings down the whole essence and power of the Truth and makes the transformation possible. But in fact all light that comes from above from the highest divine Truth is the Mother’s.

 

There is no difference between the Mother’s path and mine; we have and always had the same path, the path that leads to the supramental change and the divine realization; not only at the end, but from the beginning they have been the same.

 

The attempt to set up a division and opposition putting the Mother on one side and myself on another and opposite or quite different side, has always been a trick of the forces of Falsehood when they want to prevent a sadhak from reaching the Truth. Dismiss all such falsehoods from your mind.

 

Know that the Mother’s light and force are the light and force of the Truth; remain always in contact with the Mother’s light and force, then only can you grow into the divine Truth.

The lights are the Mother’s Powers – many in number. The white light is her own characteristic power, that of the Divine Consciousness in its essence.

The pale blue light is my light – white light is the Mother’s (sometimes gold also). People generally see either the white or both the white and the pale blue around her.

Action of The Mother’s Light

 

The White Light is the Mother’s light. Wherever it descends or enters, it brings peace, purity, silence and the openness to the higher forces. If it comes below the navel, that means that it is working in the lower vital.

The Mother’s Diamond Light

 

(a) It means the essential Force of the Mother (diamond light).

 

(b) The diamond light proceeds from the heart of the Divine Consciousness and it brings the opening of the Divine Consciousness wherever it goes.

 

(c) The Mother’s descent with the diamond light is the sanction of the Supreme Power to the movement in you.

 

(d) The Mother’s diamond light is a light of absolute purity and power.

 

(e) The diamond light is the central consciousness and force of the Divine.

The Mother and the Lights

 

 All the lights are put out by the Mother from herself.

 

The Mother’s Light in the Purusha

 

It (The Mother’s light) is always there in the inner Purusha.

 

The Mother’s Aura

 

What people see around the Mother is first her aura, as it is called nowadays and, secondly, the forces of Light that pour out from her when she concentrates as she always does on the roof for instance (everybody has an aura – but in most it is weak and not very luminous, in the Mother’s aura there is the full play of lights and powers). People do not see it usually because it is a subtle physical and not a gross material phenomenon. They can see only in two conditions, first if they develop sufficient subtle sight, secondly if the aura itself begins to become so strong that it affects the sheath of gross Matter which conceals it. The Mother has certainly no idea of making people see it – it is of themselves that one after another, some 20 or 30 in the Ashram, I believe, have come to see. It is certainly one of the signs that the Higher Force (call it supramental or not) is beginning to influence Matter.
