15 October 1936 - CWM - More Answers from the Mother - The Incarnate Word A flame in a white voiceless cupolaIs seen and faces of immortal light,The Heavens of the Ideal - CWSA - Savitri - I - The Incarnate Word And the Flame is a flame not of effective thought, but of invincible and inviolable Power<ref> https://incarnateword. … This may mean that the force of this flame of the divine Will in the sacrificial thought and action overcomes every other hostile force or, more simply and generally, it dominates all surrounding powers and makes the sacrifice master of a movement which nothing can resist, degrade or violate.RV VI.1.1/cwm/17/15-4 october- CWSA - Hymns to the Mystic Fire - The Incarnate Word But one can be like that, like a great flame rising in aspiration, and at the same time as though this flame formed a vase, a large vase, opening and receiving all that comes down.And the two can go together. And when one succeeds in having the two together, one can have them constantly, whatever one may be doing. Only there may be a slight, very slight displacement of consciousness, almost imperceptible, which becomes aware of the flame first and then of the vase of receptivity—of what seeks to be filled and the flame that rises to call down what must fill the vase—a very slight pendular movement and so close that it gives the impression that one has the two at the same time. 21 April 1954 - CWM - Questions and Answers (1954) - The Incarnate Word1936#p2</ref><center>~</center>Aspiration is the only remedy—an aspiration that rises constantly like a clear flame burning up all the impurities of the being. 4 November 1964 - CWM - Some Answers from the Mother - The Incarnate Word Broke forth in flame to recreate the world,And in that flame to new things she was born.Satyavan - CWSA - Savitri - II - The Incarnate Word ...to be constantly the he true flame that burns like an offering. That intense joy of existing only by the Divine and for the Divine and feeling that without Him nothing exists, that life has no longer any meaning, nothing has any purpose, nothing has any value, nothing has any interest, unless it is this call, this aspiration, this opening to the supreme Truth, to all that we call the Divine (because you must use some word or other), the only reason for the existence of the universe. Remove that and everything disappears. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/25 March 1953 - CWM march- Questions and Answers (1953) - The Incarnate Word Column of Light  There was no longer any body, no longer any sensation; only a column of light was there, rising from where the base of the body normally is to where usually is the head, to form there a disk of light like that of the moon; then from there the column continued to rise very far above the head, opening out into an immense sun, dazzling and multicoloured, whence a rain of golden light fell covering all the earth. July 21, 1914 - CWM - Prayers and Meditations - The Incarnate Word And when I sat down here, the consciousness of the column of Light started coming. There was no more personality, no more individuality: there was only a column of Light descending right into the very cells of the body—and that’s all.Then it gradually became conscious of itself, conscious of BEING this column of Light.
