(After a silence) And then, later, one offers all this to the
Divine. Years of work are needed. You must not only... (silence)...
become conscious of yourself, conscious in all details, but you
must organise what you call “yourself” around the psychic cen-
tre, the divine centre of your being, so that it would make a
single, coherent, fully conscious being. And as this divine cen-
tre is itself already consecrated (Mother makes a gesture of of-
fering) entirely to the Divine, if everything is organised harmoni-
ously around it, everything is consecrated to the Divine. And
so, when the Divine thinks it proper, when the time has come,
when the work of individualisation is complete, then the Di-
vine gives you permission to let your ego merge in Him, to live
henceforward only for the Divine.
But it is the Divine who takes this decision. You must first
have done all this work, become a conscious being, solely and
exclusively centred around the Divine and governed by Him. And
after all that, there is still an ego; because it is the ego which
serves to make you an individual. But once this work is perfect,
fully accomplished, then, at that moment, you may tell the Di-
vine, “Here I am, I am ready. Do you want me?” And the Divine
usually says, “Yes.” All is over, everything is accomplished. And
you become a real instrument for the Divine’s work. But first
the instrument must be constructed.

I ask only one thing:
do not listen to the ego
