A selection from Mother's words from 1916 to 1973, which strikes at the heart of what ails India. Mother, Sri Aurobindo's companion, shows how India can overcome her perilous situation and fulfil her destiny. "India is the place where the fate of the earth will be decided. The world conflict, the ISSUE will be played out over India.... The whirl of forces is here, over India.... It's becoming urgent. And falsehood, duplicity ... oh, everything seems to be rising to the surface-it's hideous.... It's like a conflict between the forces that want to destroy the earth and the terrestrial transformation." (1969) "It is only the Truth that can save us: truth in words, truth in action, truth in will, truth in feelings. It is a choice between serving the Truth or being destroyed." (1972)
