In some of the Mothers Prayers which are addressed to divin Matre I find the words: avec notre divine Mre. How can the Mother and divin Matre have a divine Mre? It is as if the Mother was not the divine Mre and there was some other Mother and the divin Matre was not the Transcendent and had also a divine Mre! Or is it that all these are addressed to something impersonal?
The Prayers are mostly written in an identification with the earth-consciousness. It is Mother in the lower nature addressing the Mother in the higher nature, the Mother herself carrying on the Sadhana of the earth-consciousness for the transformation, praying to herself above from whom the forces of transformation come. This continues till the identification of the earth-consciousness and the higher consciousness is effected. The word notre is general, I believe, referring to all born into the earth-consciousnessit does not mean the Mother of the Divin Matre and myself. It is the Divine who is always referred to as Divin Matre and Seigneur. There is the Mother who is carrying on the Sadhana and the Divine Mother, both being one but in different poises, and both turn to the Seigneur or Divine Master. This kind of prayer from the Divine to the Divine you will find also in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.
