organized realization? I don’t know.” (Mother’s Agenda, Institut de Recherches Évolutives, Paris, 1995, p. 227 [translation]) — said the Mother.
In fact that is what she had asked the Lord when she had completed the task of bringing down the supramental light:
My Lord, what Thou hast wanted me to do I have done. The gates of the Supramental have been thrown open and the Supramental Consciousness, Light and Force are flooding the earth … Now that the supramental is there — for of that I am absolutely certain even if I am the only one upon earth to be aware of it — is it that the mission of this form is ended and that another form is to take up the work in its place?
(CWM 13, pp. 57–8)
Then she gets a reply from the Lord: “If you cannot do it, no other body upon earth can do it.” (CWM 13, p. 57)
She did it for seventeen years:
It is a delightful work I am engaged in, constantly, night and day … I take up one cell (Mother makes a gesture with Her fingers), it is a very small cell, like this, microscopic, which one cannot see with the naked eye, but I possess that power and that vision. Like this, I take up one tiny little cell and I open it to the transforming light of the Divine Consciousness … These cells vibrate and radiate with a resplendent consciousness. The ones that are ready, I collect them and keep them aside and I observe the difference between those that are ready and the ones that I have not touched; … In the old cells … there is only a faint glow, a spark of the Divine, whereas in the cells that are charged with the Supramental Consciousness, there is the perception of the Ananda of the soul, the soul of Matter which is awakening after thousands of years from its torpor of inconscience.

… Yet, there remains a problem which must be solved. How all this work that I have done on my body … this work of transformation of matter, (gesture) even of this body … how to perpetuate this movement in the terrestrial existence so that the nucleus of a new race can take root?
(Mona Sarkar, The Supreme, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, 2001, p. 52,

How could we (if at all) be useful in this process of rooting the new race? Is it possible at all? Perhaps if we think and ponder over all the concepts and ideas about the Supermind, we will get confused and may even abandon the idea of collaborating in this grand attempt. So, the Mother advised:
Leave everything to me and abandon yourself in the current and you shall be guided. It is evident that the purpose of my descending here on earth, for the transformation of the body and eventually of the earth, by the transforming action of the Supramental, would be accomplished …
