She, with a capital S, I said it was the Supreme Conscious-
ness, but in fact it is Nature and it is the trick of Nature; for
the Supreme Consciousness has no tricks, it is Nature that has
tricks. The Supreme Consciousness quite simply enters into all
things with all her consciousness, because it is the conscious-
ness: and with that She tries to make all this inconscience move
towards consciousness, simply, without any tricks. She has no
need of tricks, She is everywhere. She is at work everywhere and
She puts consciousness into the inconscience. When you light
a lamp in a dark room, as soon as you turn on the electricity,
the room is no longer dark. As soon as you put consciousness
in, there is no longer any unconsciousness. So that is what She
does. Wherever She sees unconsciousness, She tries to enter.
Sometimes the doors are locked, then it takes a little more time,
but sometimes the doors open, then She rushes in immediately,
the unconsciousness disappears and consciousness comes —
without needing any tricks or any intermediaries. She becomes
conscious. But material Nature, physical Nature is not like that,
she is full of tricks; she makes you move all the time, she pulls
the puppet strings; for her you are so many little dolls: she pulls
the strings and makes them move. She puts all kinds of illusions
in your head so that you may do the things she wants, with-
out even your wanting it. She does not require that you should
want it: she pulls the thread and you do it.
That is why we quarrel at times, but that's something we
do not say.
CWM 5: 89-90 The Mother

If we would understand God, we must renounce our egoistic &
ignorant human standards or else ennoble and universalise them.
