used for the intended psychic and spiritual purpose.

You write, “Certainly very few seem to realise what a possibility has been given them here.” What precisely do you mean by “possibility” — possibility of what?

I was not speaking of any particular thing — but the whole spiritual possibility due to the Mother’s presence here. Very few realise what that means and even those who have some idea of it take little advantage and allow their lower nature to block the progress.

X writes: “One thing I do not understand. Though I feel the Mother so near to me, these forces still dare to come and disturb me. How is this possible?” Please tell me what to reply to him.

The forces can always be there so long as there is not the transformation of the whole nature. They manifest themselves whenever they can. But if the Presence of the Mother can always be felt vividly and continuously, then one need not be troubled by their endeavours; one can face and repel them in the full consciousness of the Mother’s grace and protection.

Do doubt and ego continue even after one has the realisation of the Divine Consciousness and the Mother’s Presence?

No doubt can remain if there is the realisation of the Divine Consciousness and the Mother’s Presence. Imperfections may remain in the outer being, but they do not trouble the inner being and can be got rid of quietly.
