[Prayers and Meditations May 17, 1914: https://incarnateword.in/cwm/01/may-17-1914]
Head is the hub that conceives whereas heart is the hub that impels towards action.
What the Mother seems to be experiencing here, in this prayer, is to withdraw from everything, including all action. She wants to be completely one with the pure Consciousness in its origin. But the command for her is not to do that for now. She has been assured that one day it will be so. One day, she will be completely identified with the original Consciousness, but for now, she must continue engaging with the earthly life. In simple terms, it is a call for the complete union through Karma rather than through withdrawal into the highest Gyana. It is the same path that Sri Aurobindo had taken, the complete union through Karma and later the fullness of the Supramental Gnosis.
Subsequently, the identification does take place on September 13, 1914.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
