(Mother reads an answer she wrote in English to a disciple, in which she says in particular:)

… to be grateful, never to forget this wonderful Grace of the Supreme who leads each one to his divine goal by the shortest ways, in spite of himself, his ignorance and misunderstanding, in spite of the ego, its protests and its revolts.

What’s written here is such a true experience! Never to forget this wonderful Grace of the Supreme who leads you straight to your true goal, in spite of all your revolt, all your misunderstanding – straight, imperturbably.

You cry out, you weep, you protest, you revolt…. “I will lead you right to the end in spite of yourself.”

When I wrote it, it was such a wonderful thing! … We are all so silly, so ignorant, so stupid, we cry out and say, “Oh! …” (people who believe in “God”), “Oh, he is cruel, he is an implacable judge” – they don’t understand a thing! It’s just the opposite! A goodness, an infinite grace that leads you there, just like that, right to the end, prrt! Straight.
