Spiritual progress is gradual

Mother: Yes, you will acquire it slowly. You make some progress in this life, a little more in the next and so on. It is the body alone that changes, the Atman always remains the same. Renunciation of ‘ lust ’ and ‘ gold ’! The Master used to say, “ I can change Kamarpukur into gold, if I so desire, by requesting Mathur Babu to do so; but what good will that do? It is all transitory.” Regarding some devotees, the Master used to say that it was their last birth. He would remark, referring to some devotee, “ You see, he has no desire whatsoever for anything. This is his last birth.”

The devotees prostrated themselves before the Mother and took their leave of her.
