The Mother

Swami gave a page of printed-paper on 20 July 2012.
It is because she participates in their nature. She has descended upon the Earth to participate in their nature; because, if she did not participate in their nature, she could not lead them farther. If she remained in her Supreme consciousness where there is no suffering, in her Supreme knowledge and consciousness, she could not have any contact with human beings. And it is for this that she is obliged to take on human consciousness and form; it is to be able to enter into contact with them. Only she doesnot forget she has adopted their consciousness, but remains in relation wither real, Supreme consciousness. Thus, by joining the two, she can make those who are in that other consciousness progress. But if she didnot adopt their consciousness, if she did not suffer with their sorrow, she could not help them.
Hers is not a suffering of ignorance; it is a suffering through identity. It is because she has accepted to have the same vibrations as they, in order to beadle to enter in contact with them, she would not be felt at all or no one could bear herradiance... This has been said in all kinds of forms, in all kinds of religions,and they have often spoken of divine sacrifice, but from a certain point of view, it is true. It is voluntary sacrifice, but it is true: giving up a state of perfect consciousness,perfect bliss, perfect power in order to accept the state of ignorance of the outer world, so as to pull it out of that ignorance.  If this state were not accepted, there would be no contact with it. No relation would be possible and this is the reason for incarnations. Otherwise, there would be no necessity. If the divine consciousness and divine force could work from the place or state of their perfection, if they could work directly on matter and transform it, then there would be no need to take a body like a man’s. It would have been enough to act from the world of Truth with the perfect consciousness and upon consciousness. In fact that acts perhaps more slowly than when there is this effort to make the world progress. To make it go forward more rapidly, well, it is necessary to take on a human nature. By taking the human body, one is obliged to take on human nature partially. Only, instead of losing one’s consciousness and losing contact with the Truth, one keeps this consciousness and Truth and by joining the two, one can create exactly this kind of alchemy for transformation. But if one did not touch matter, one could not do anything for it.
