The Mother

Steps in Her Living Presence

एषा दिवो दुहिता प्रत्यदर्शि व्युच्छन्ती युवतिः शुक्रवासाः।
विश्वस्येशाना पार्थिवस्य वस्व उषो अद्येह सुभगे व्युच्छ ॥७॥
व्यञ्जिभिर्दिव आतास्वद्यौदप कृष्णां निर्णिजं देव्यावः।
प्रबोधयन्त्यरुणेभिरश्वैरोषा याति सुयुजा रथेन ॥१४॥

Rig Veda 1.113

Behold, the daughter of Heaven appears in front, the young damsel raises clothed in white:

She is the Ruler of the universe, Ruler of all earthly treasure: O Dawn, O Perfect Delight, appear here today. (7)

She shines with her gleamings in the space of heaven, the Goddess has discarded her dark robes.

Awakening all, Dawn comes with rosy steeds well yoked to her chariot. (14)

Sri Aurobindo on The Mother

Do you not refer to the Mother (our Mother) in your book The Mother?

Yes.

Is she not the “Individual” Divine Mother who has embodied “the power of these two vaster ways of her existence” — Transcendent and Universal?

Yes.

Has she not descended here (amongst us) into the Darkness and Falsehood and Error and Death in her deep and great love for us?

Yes.
