ement whose strength is predominantly in illumined (intuitive,
supramental or spiritual) knowledge and the power that acts
in this knowledge, while the psychic being supports this action
and helps to transform the physical and vital plane. Mirra acts
directly on the psychic being and on the emotional, vital and
physical nature through the illumined psychic consciousness,
while the illumined intuitions from the supramental being give
her the necessary knowledge to act on the right lines and at
the right moment. Her force representing the Shakti element
is directly psychic, vital, physical and her spiritual knowledge is
predominantly practical in its nature. It is, that is to say, a large
and detailed knowledge and experience of the mental, vital and
physical forces at play and with the knowledge the power to
handle them for the purposes of life and of Yoga.
CWSA 36: 329-330 Sri Aurobindo

Mother, For the last few days I concentrate on your eyes as you
very graciously look when I go for Pranam. I have selected the
enclosed photograph for this purpose. I have hung up the pho-
to and sit on my bed or in a chair and try to meditate to open
myself to your Divine Force and reject the thoughts of the ordi-
nary consciousness. I utter “OM Ma Mira sharanam mama” or
simply “OM Ma”. When thoughts come, I try resolutely to drive
them away and utter “OM swaha”.

Mother, is it all right? Will I receive Your Grace?
It is all right. Persevere. You are sure to succeed one day or an-
other. My force and blessings are with you always.
