The Mother on Courage

 

In reference to Caloptropis

“This courage means having a taste for the supreme adventure. And this taste for supreme adventure is an aspiration – an aspiration which takes hold of you completely and flings you, without calculation and without reserve and without the possibility of withdrawal, into the great adventure of the divine discovery, the great adventure of divine meeting, the yet greater adventure of the divine realization; you throw yourself into the adventure without looking back and without asking for a single minute, “what’s going to happen?” For if you ask what is going to happen, you never start, you always remain stuck there, rooted to the spot, afraid to lose something, to lose your balance.”
