of a very great whole. On the other hand, every one of you
is most certainly quite conscious of being a separate person.
Well, it is the ego that gives you this impression. As long as you
are conscious in this way, it means that you have an ego.
When you begin to be aware that everything is yourself,
and that this is only a very small point in the midst of thou-
sands and thousands of other points of the same person that
you are everywhere, when you feel that you are yourself in ev-
erything and that there is no separation, then you know that
you are on the way towards having no more ego.

Ambition
We should always be on our guard against the interference
of the ego, shouldn't we, Mother?
Certainly this is correct. Ambition is always a source of distur-
bance and confusion.

Detaching oneself from the ignorant actions of the mind and
vital and from any kind of ambition, and allowing the Divine
Mother to work according to Her own will, one can have in-
ner as well as outer peace and happiness; and this, I think, is
the way one can serve the Mother gratefully and sincerely. Is
this not so?
Certainly, action without ambition and egoistic calculation is
the condition of peace and felicity — both inner and outer.
Behind all ambitions there is a Truth waiting for the oppor-
tune time to manifest. Now that the ambition is gone, it is time
for the truth (the capacities and abilities) to manifest.
Take great care not to become "swollen"; but I am with you,
helping you, in order to do something interesting.
