3. The Mother and the Practice of the Integral Yoga

Fragment ID: 19498

Some people see light etc. around the Mother but I am not able to do so. What is the obstruction in me?

It is not an obstruction – it is simply a question of the growth of the inner senses. It has no indispensable connection with spiritual progress. There are some very far on the path who have very little of this kind of vision if any – on the other hand sometimes it develops enormously in mere beginners who have as yet had only very elementary spiritual experiences.
