Message of the Flower

Vital Opening

The Mother’s Comment

The vital is ready to receive the Divine influence.

Spiritual Message by the Mother/ Quotes by Sri Aurobindo

What's needed is the path of vastness, widening, relaxation, ease, of BLOSSOMING in the vital—not so much a censorial vital as… as gentleness, a certain sweetness. The vital blossoming into beauty: sweetness and beauty. I don't want to speak of "sentiments" because… oh, that lands us right in a quagmire! No, but… a sweetness and charm and beauty—but not there (in the head): here.
