Q: When I read the Mother’s “Prayers” and “Conversations” I often feel as if I come in contact with her consciousness. This makes me think whether it is possible by reading her books to make one’s consciousness so intense as to identify it with hers and as a result to elevate the vital and other parts also.
A: It is possible to intensely identify oneself with the Mother’s consciousness through what you read―in that case the result you speak of could come. It could also have an effect on the vital up to a certain point.
