Receptivity on Birthdays

The Mother: Do you know, my child, what "Bonne Fete" signifies, that is, what we wish here on the birthday?

Disciple: ...not the spiritual significance...

The Mother: Yes, it is truly a special day in one's life. It is one of the days in the year when the Supreme descends into us - or when we are face to face with the Eternal - one of those days when our soul comes in contact with the Eternal and, if we remain a little conscious, we can feel His Presence within us. If we make a little effort on this day, we accomplish the work of many lives, as in a lightning flash. That is why I give so much importance to the birthday - because what one gains in one day is truly something incomparable. And it is for this that I too work to open the consciousness a little upward so that one may come face to face with the Eternal. My child, it is a very, very special day, for it is the day of decision, when one can truly make a tremendous progress, when one can unite with the Supreme Consciousness. For on this day, the Lord lifts us up to the highest possible region so that our soul which is a portion of the Eternal Flame, can unite with it and absorb from the Source.... this is a chance in life - the day of Grace.
