I
Grace is the Divine made earthly and human. And that is our Mother.
The Mother's body was not meant to give us, to make a gift to us of a transformed human body, for our contemplation, our delectation. It had a more serious purpose.
It was to furnish the material stuff for the manifestation, the incarnation of the subtle Divine body preparing behind.
Humanity in its present embodied manifestation cannot be immediately changed, transmuted into the supramental body. That body must descend or reveal itself or clothe itself with a new material substance. That new material substance was being prepared in the Mother's body which was the workshop, as it were, for the Divine body.
She has been building in this way not only a personal body of her own, the new Divine body, but also a 'generic' body for humanity at large out of which other personal bodies may be precipitated into the material forms of the material world - the two forming but one indivisible act.
The body that is being divinised can never suffer deterioration, neither in respect of its substance nor of its functionings. There can only be a re-orientation or transforming of the cells and of their functions.
Medicine in Mother's body is not for changing the body - helping its metabolism, but for the body to change the medicines so that these may acquire new properties. Indeed all that her body takes in, even as food, tends to undergo this divine chemical change. This forms another line of the process of transformation of Matter.
The Mind has been set aside, the vital withdrawn: the intermediary worlds do no longer interfere. The mere Matter, the Body, is now face to face with the Supramental (the Supreme).
One can be in contact with Her only through one's soul: even then the soul under the light or influence of the supramental has to refound or recreate its instruments once more - in the mind and vital the and the body - to be able to manifest and incarnate the new supramental revelation.
Mother's response to a prayer:
"I am always with you I shall never fail you in prosperity or in adversity, even when you sink I am with you I sink with you: I do not stand on the shore and merely look at you from a distance. I sink with you, I am in you: for I am you."
Keep your temperament always equal and happy: your consciousness will taste sweet to the Mother. Else, if you have a wry and embittered temperament, the consciousness will naturally taste bitter to the Mother.
