The Psychic Door

The Psychic and the Mother’s Presence
The Mother’s presence is always there; but if you decide
to act on your own — your own idea, your own notion of
things, your own will and demand upon things, then it is
quite likely that her presence will get veiled; it is not she who
withdraws from you, but you who draw back from her. But
your mind and vital don’t want to admit that, because it is
always their preoccupation to justify their own movements.
If the psychic were allowed its full predominance, this would
not happen; it would have felt the veiling, but it would at
once have said, “There must have been some mistake in me,
a mist has arisen in me,” and it would have looked and found
the cause.

When I am alone I feel a sweet flow of love for the Mother
and surrender to her welling out from my heart. But when I
am in her physical presence I do not feel this love. Why does
this happen?

It is when you live in the psychic that there is this feeling
— but the psychic commands at present only a part of the
mind and vital — it does not yet control the most external
parts, that is why you do not feel it when in the Mother’s
physical presence.
*
If you feel the Mother’s presence for the greater part of the
day, it means that it is your psychic being that is active and
feels like that — for without the activity of the psychic it
would not be possible. Therefore your psychic being is there
and not at all far off.
