ently trivial for her attention; nothing however impalpable or
disguised or latent can escape her. Moulding and remoulding
she labours each part till it has attained its true form, is put
in its exact place in the whole and fulfils its precise purpose.
In her constant and diligent arrangement and rearrangement
of things her eye is on all needs at once and the way to meet
them and her intuition knows what is to be chosen and what
rejected and successfully determines the right instrument,
the right time, the right conditions and the right process.

Tireless, vigilant, and long-suffering with man’s imperfec-
tions.
Carelessness and negligence and indolence she abhors;
all scamped and hasty and shuffling work, all clumsiness and
à peu près and misfire, all false adaptation and misuse of in-
struments and faculties and leaving of things undone or half
done is offensive and foreign to her temper. When her work
is finished, nothing has been forgotten, no part has been mis-
placed or omitted or left in a faulty condition; all is solid,
accurate, complete, admirable. Nothing short of a perfect
perfection satisfies her and she is ready to face an eternity of
toil if that is needed for the fullness of her creation. Therefore
of all the Mother’s powers she is the most long-suffering with
man and his thousand imperfections.
CWSA 32: 22-23 Sri Aurobindo

Whatever work you do, do it as perfectly as
you can. That is the best service
to the Divine in man.
