For Opening to the Mother:
1. Read Her works, especially Prayers and Meditations.
2. Read Sri Aurobindo’s Savitri, The Mother with Letters on The Mother.
3. Think of Her and meditate upon Her Presence in the heart and the head.
If this is difficult initially, then meditate upon Her photograph.
4. Remember Her inwardly as often as you can. Call Her Name in the heart, Naam Japa, simply as Maa, Maa, Maa, Maa, Maa.
5. Write to Her in a diary all that is happening in your inner and outer life.
6. Pray to Her for all your inner and outer needs.
7. Hide nothing from Her. Tell Her all your thoughts and feelings inwardly without fear, shame, guilt, with a will that these may change according to what She may want you to be.
8. Offer all you do to Her at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of every activity.
9. Ask Her to increase in you faith, devotion, spirit of service.
10. Live life with this constant sense that the Divine Mother is with me — that She is everywhere and in everything.
Then slowly Her presence will begin to be felt all the time.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
