Original recording of The Mother’s recitations of the Dhammapada and her Explanations in French language
Music by Michel Montecrossa: ‘Silent Sea 2’ • ‘The Mother’s Hands’
22 November 1957
Those who take error for truth, and the truth for error, will never attain the supreme goal, for they are led astray by vain desires and false views.
Dhammapada
“Whenever there is sincerity, you find that the help, the guidance, the grace are always there to give you the answer and you are not mistaken for long.
It is this sincerity in the aspiration for progress, in the will for truth, in the need to be truly pure—pure as it is understood in the spiritual life—it is this sincerity which is the key to all progress. With it you know—and you can.
There is always, somewhere in the being, something which prefers to deceive itself, otherwise the light is there, always ready to guide, but you shut your eyes in order not to see it.”
Mira Alfassa – The Mother

Those who know the true to be true and the false to be false, they attain the supreme goal, for they pursue right desires and correct views.
Dhammapada
“Sri Aurobindo tells us that in order to reach the Truth and to have the power of realising this Truth you must join the spiritual consciousness to a progressive mental consciousness.
And these few words certainly prove that such was the original conception of the Buddhist teaching.”
Mira Alfassa – The Mother
