help the true consciousness to predominate. Concentrate, open
yourself and let the Mother bring you back to the psychic con-
dition by what she will pour into you in meditation and silence.

Mother, you asked me to write what I would like to ask for my
birthday. Really I do not know. You know best. I would only pray
that I may become utterly devoted to you and Sri Aurobindo in
every part of my being, completely open to you, and that my faith
may become perfect.

That is all right then. Mother will give what you want.

Since I saw Mother on my birthday I feel I am living a new life in
which there is a new intimacy with her. Is it true?

If you feel so — but it can be no more than the seed of a new
birth, for it has to be realised by a greater inner opening.
*
It seems I have learnt a lot about myself yesterday, my birth-
day, when Mother gave me an interview. It was not a theoretical
knowledge, but a kind of realisation or experienced knowledge
and maybe a Force that she gave. I no more feel so weak or help-
less or a slave to my defects and imperfections. Rather there is
a growing surety that I shall be able to get rid of my whole lower
nature.

It is what we call growing conscious — a perception of
which the base is the psychic though it may take place in the
mind or vital or physical. No doubt the Force that woke it up
came from the Mother.
