You will be able to know what one thing is and what another etc., whether it comes from you or from outside, whether it is on a material plane or on another plane. All this is learnt through a very quiet observation, quiet but very sharp, you understand; because there are very tiny shades, very tiny, between different things, and when you get used to distinguishing these nuances, you can discern exactly what it is.</div><div style="color:#000000;">(The Mother,20 October 1954)</divspan><div style="color:#0066cc;"><u><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/20-october-1954#p46</ref></u></div>
