Prayers and Meditations
(Mother to Satprem:) “The realization of the inner Divine must have been in 1911, because that's when I started writing my Meditations. But since my earliest childhood, you know, this presence was always there, with an initial emphasis on consciousness, then on the vital and aesthetics, then on the mind... and culminating here, in 1920, with action.”[1]
(Amal Kiran:) “Every day at 5 a.m. she used to sit to meditate near her window with a Kashmiri shawl wrapped round her. The meditation being over, she would note down her thoughts and experiences; but they were meant only for herself and she always used to lock up her diary. In 1916 she stopped writing, but on her final arrival at Pondicherry in 1920 she took it up again. Later, it was only occasionally that she wrote. What she wrote covered five big volumes. The first to see them was Sri Aurobindo and it was he who asked her to get them published as they were sure to be of immense help to others and would at the same time show what the physical consciousness is capable of achieving. So he made a selection and she got it printed. She had the rest burnt in a boiler which is still used in the Ashram.”[2]
(Mother to Mona Sarkar:) “Like Savitri, the Prayers and Meditations has the same intensity of vibration and rhythm, the same origin, the same intuition, in fact, the same revelation and power to transform. All that I have spoken about Savitri applies also for Prayers and Meditations; only his is in English, in beautiful poetry, whereas mine is in French, and in prose. They are my experiences, descriptions of my experiences, of my sadhana.”[3]
