Her spirit opened to the Spirit in all, Her nature felt all Nature as its own. When the Mother was asked, in 1935, whether even at her early age she knew that she was the incarnate Divine, her response was: “I was conscious.” She had disclosed this divinity of hers on many other occasions also. Sri Aurobindo too spoke about her to that effect several times. When his little book The Mother was published, on the half-title page he wrote ‘To Her’ near the title The Mother and signed; he signed it in Sanskrit as 'Aravinda'...Even when she was busy with the transformation of the cells of the body and was experiencing difficulties she did not, says she, “lose consciousness for a single minute. I fainted, but I was conscious, I saw my body, I knew that I had fainted, I did not lose consciousness, and the body also did not lose consciousness.” In the process “the very highest, beyond form… opened and developed within... it was the direct contact, without any intermediary—direct contact.” The universality of her spirit and her nature was the guarantee of the work she was engaged in to bring about a change not only in herself as an individual but also in the cosmic manifestation. In fact she needed no personal siddhi, spiritual reward for herself; she was working for nature and for the spirit in all. Actually, she was working for the Divine. A difficult task she,—in fact both the Mother and Sri Aurobindo,—had undertaken, about which we have the least idea. However, we might get some hint from the letters written by Sri Aurobindo, patiently explaining the “severe and painful” nature of the work they were engaged in...
