divine action exists any longer. And you too, you are no longer
        there.
            That is to say, it is the answer to our aspiration. It may happen
        immediately afterwards — that is very rare but may happen. If you
        have both simultaneously, then the state is perfect; usually they
        alternate; they alternate more and more closely until the moment
        there is a total fusion. Then there is no more distinction.
        (CWM 5: 56–57)                                              The Mother


        Have a receptive quietude
            The Higher descends when you have a receptive quietude in
        the various planes of your being prepared to receive it. In either
        case whether in aspiring upward to rise to the Higher or in remain-
        ing passive and open to receive the Higher, an entire calmness in
        the different parts of the being is the true condition. If you do not
        have the necessary force in the quiet aspiration or will and if you
        find that a certain amount of effort will help you in rising upward,
        you may go on using it as a temporary means until there is the
        natural openness in which a silent call or simple effortless will is

        Some have this swaying of the body when the peace or the Force
        begins to descend upon it, as it facilitates for it the reception. The
        swaying ceases usually when the body is accustomed to assimi-
        late the descent.
            The peace comes fully at the meditation time because the
        Mother’s concentration at that time brings down the power of
        the higher consciousness and one can receive it if one is able to
        do so. Once it begins to come, it usually increases its force along
        with the receptivity of the sadhak until it can come at all times
        and under all conditions and stay longer and longer till it is stable.
        The sadhak on his side has to keep his consciousness as quiet and
