Opening to the Mother

The best help for concentration is to receive the Mother's calm
and peace into your mind. It is there above you — only the mind
and its centres have to open to it. It is what the Mother is push-
ing upon you in the evening meditation.
The object of meditation is to open to the Mother and grow
through many progressive experiences into a higher conscious-
ness in union with the Divine.
CWSA 29: 300

There is more profit to be had by being open to the Mother than
by coming physically to her at the present stage. Some even
who make a point of her calling them go backward rather than
forward — because they make a point of it, introducing thus a
basis of vital demand which makes a very shaky foundation for
relations with the Mother.
CWSA 32: 501

Those are the Mother's children and closest to her who are
open to her, close to her in their inner being, one with her will
— not those who come bodily nearest to her. Did coming inside
help X or Y? It is impossible for Mother to satisfy the demands
of everybody, the external demands — it only wears out her
body but helps no one.
CWSA 32: 496 Sri Aurobindo

Divine Mother, I wish to get light on the following points.

1) Have I the capacity and are there potentialities in me to
follow this path?
