<div style="font-size:16pt; text-align:center;">{{#tip-text:Questions and Answers 1956|Conversations of the Mother with the members of her French class, held on Wednesday evenings at the Ashram Playground. The Mother usually began by reading out a passage from a French translation of one of Sri Aurobindo’s writings; she then commented on it or invited questions. During this year she discussed portions of two works of Sri Aurobindo: “The Synthesis of Yoga” and “Thoughts and Glimpses“. She spoke only in French.}}</div>
