The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

In fact, Mother, what is the yogi’s attitude towards the outward appearance?

The usefulness of seeing clearly instead of being blind.

The usefulness of no longer being deceived by outward appearances.

The usefulness of knowing the true purpose of life instead of living in ignorance and falsehood.
