Mother’s Message for a Study Group

1. Prayer: (Sri Aurobindo, Mother — grant us your help in our endeavour to understand your teaching.)

2. Reading of Sri Aurobindo’s book.

3. A moment of silence.

4. One question can be put by whoever wants to put a question on what has been read.

5. Answer to the question.

This is not the meeting of a group but simply a class for studying Sri Aurobindo’s books.
