  The Mother - Integral Wiki
Mirra Alfassa (later Morisset and Richard), known as The Mother (February 21, 1878 - November 17, 1973), was the spiritual partner of the sage and seer Sri Aurobindo.
The Mother was born Mirra (or Mira) Alfassa in Paris in 1878, of a Turkish father (Maurice, a banker), and an Egyptian mother (Mathilde Ismaloun).
Mirra said that when she first met Sri Aurobindo, she found that her thoughts ceased to run, her mind became quiet, and silence began to gather momentum, until two or three days later there was only the silence and the yogic consciousness.

 The Mother
Mirra Alfassa (Paris 21.2.1878 - Pondicherry 17.11.73) was born as the second child of an Egyptian mother and a Turkish father, a few months after her parents had settled in France.
She first heard of Sri Aurobindo from her friend Alexandra David-Neel, who had visited him in Pondicherry in 1912; and in 1914, along with her second husband Paul Richard, she was able to travel to Pondicherry and meet him in person.
An account of her experiences in the course of this work is given in The Mother's Agenda, an intimate record of the last 18 years of her life.

 Mother meets Sri Aurobindo
A thought, as Mirra had learned from Théon and taught to her audiences in Paris, may be invisible to us because it belongs to a subtle, mental world, but it is all the same a concrete entity.
In Mirra's diary entries of these weeks, we find time and time again allusions to the continuous and absorbing practical occupations in which she had to engage and which often prevented her from calmly writing down the inner experiences of the day.
One of Mirra's diary notes is dated "Karikal, 13 April 1914," and there is no doubt that Mirra stood by the side of her husband throughout the campaign.

Mirra Richard and Sri Aurobindo give us some clues as to how we might point a child toward a greater reality and deeper part of themselves without violating secular norms.
Both Richard and Sri Aurobindo, in line with all eastern spiritual traditions, have said that every child, if encouraged to look within, will find an aspiration to grow, to develop, to “become” someone, to realize his or her uniqueness.
Richard speaks of this aspiration in terms of knowing one's “highest ideal” and organizing everything in one's life around it.

Her relationship with Paul Richard was at this stage coming to a breaking-point since she could follow her destiny now and establish an ever closer collaboration with Sri Aurobindo.
It was probably clear to Paul that the Mother was now completely giving herself to Sri Aurobindo and that there was a kind of collaboration and development in their relationship which he could not follow any more.
We saw Richard going down to a place from which rising was impossible, Then we found ourselves sitting in a carriage the driver of which was taking it up and down a hill a number of times, At last he stopped on the highest peak.
