“A spiritual Truth and Right have convicted the good and evil of this world of imperfection or of falsehood and unveiled a supreme good…. But behind all these and in them he has felt a Divinity who is all these things, a Bringer of Light, a Guide and All-Knower, a Master of Force, a Giver of Bliss, Friend, Helper, Father, Mother, Playmate in the world-game, an absolute Master of his being, his soul’s Beloved and Lover.”
Can the Godhead be all these things at once for anybody?
Yes, and many more.
This is only a very brief description!
But here too, if one wants to have this experience, one must not seek in life and among men for these relationships, because if one seeks them in the ordinary life, as ordinary relationships, one becomes incapable of feeling them exactly as the Divine can give them. And usually, most people, even those who have a living soul, seek these relations with the Divine only after they have had the most bitter and disappointing experiences in their search for human relationships.
This makes them lose much time and wastes a lot of energy. And usually, they are already quite worn out and spent when they reach the state in which they are capable of having these relations in all their splendour with the divine Presence.
That means much time lost and much wastage of energy; but it would seem that very few people can go straight avoiding all these roundabout ways. Mostly, when they are told that there is a divine Joy and a divine Plenitude which far all they can imagine in ordinary life, they don’t believe it; and to believe it they must have, as I said, gone through a painful experience of all that is false, deceptive and disappointing in ordinary relationships.
It is said that example is the best teacher, but in fact there are very few who care to follow an example especially when the examples are a little too far beyond them. They all want to have their own experience; they have the right to it, but that makes the path interminable.

We are all the Mother’s children and like all kids we say, “My Mother knows everything.”
Both the Mother and Sri Aurobindo warn us about folly of expectations from human relationships; for a sadhak unless there’s a Divine base or standpoint of the perception of these relationships things are bound to go awry. Sadhak makes mistakes and the Mother knows it. She knows and protects.
