X says that she sees white light streaming out from the Mother
when she sees her walking on the terrace. And some days, when
the Mother is meditating, she sees some figure behind her.

There is always light around the Mother which the eyes can see
if the inner vision opens. There are also many beings that are

CWSA 32: 264, 268-270 Sri Aurobindo

When our minds are involved in matter,
they think matter the only reality;
when we draw back into immaterial consciousness,
then we see matter a mask and feel existence in

consciousness alone as having the touch of reality.
Which then of these two is the truth?
Nay, God knoweth; but he who has had both

experiences, can easily tell which condition is the more
fertile in knowledge,
the mightier & more blissful.
CWSA 12:442 Sri Aurobindo
