“Lord, very humbly I pray to Thee that I may be equal to my task, that nothing in me, conscious or unconscious, may betray Thee by neglecting to serve Thy sacred mission.”
The Mother, Prayers and Meditations-20.02.1914
<<Seigneur, très humblement, je prie pour être à la hauteur de ma tâche, que rien en moi, conscient ou non, ne Te trahisse en négligeant de servir Ta mission sacrée.>>
La Mère, Prières et Méditations-20.02.1914
"Question: Is it right to say that those who know French will be able to serve the Mother better in the years to come?
Answer: It is mostly that it brings a certain closeness to one side of the Mother.”

“Sri Aurobindo had a great liking for France. I was born there – certainly for a reason. In my case, I know it very well: it was the need of culture, of a clear and precise mind, of refined thought, taste and clarity of mind – there is no other country in the world for that. None. And Sri Aurobindo had a liking for France for that same reason, a great liking. He used to say that throughout his (fourteen years) life in England, he had a much greater liking for France than for England!”

The Mother’s Agenda/July 6, 1963
“Everything can be part of “sadhana”; it depends on the inner attitude. Naturally, if one lets himself be invaded by the Western atmosphere, farewell to the sadhana. But even in the most materialistic milieu, if one retains one’s aspiration and one’s faith in the Divine Life, the sadhana can and should continue.”

“In the West the physical mind is too dominant, so that the psychic does not so easily get a chance — except of course in exceptional people.”
