Prayers and Meditations is a record of the Mother's early spiritual life. The 313 entries in this book were selected by the Mother herself from her spiritual diaries. Most of them are from the period 1912 to 1917.

"How beautiful, grand, simple and calm everything is in the hours when my thought takes its flight to Thee and unites with Thee! And from the day it becomes possible for us to keep this supreme clear-sightedness constantly, with what an airy and yet sure step we shall walk through life above all obstacles… May the peace of Thy certitude awaken in every heart."
