Assimilation of the Mother's Force

As for Mother's force when one receives it the best way is to be quiet till it is assimilated. Afterwards it is all right, not lost by outward movement or mixing.

If the meditation brings poise, peace, a concentrated condition or even a pressure or influence, that can go on in the work, provided one does not throw it away by a relaxed or dispersed state of consciousness. That was why the Mother wanted people not only to be concentrated at Pranam or meditation but to remain silent and absorb or assimilate afterwards and also insisted on avoiding things that relax or disperse or dissipate too much―precisely for this reason that so the effects of what she put in them might continue and the change of attitude will take place. But I am afraid most of the Sadhaks have never understood or practised anything of the kind―they could not appreciate or understand her directions.

Allow a quiet and steady will to progress to be settled in you; learn the habit of a silent, persistent and thorough assimilation of what the Mother puts into you. This is the sound way to advance.
