I don't think we can speak of this one either. No, I don't think so.
What we should actually do is make a selection and only talk about
aphorisms that give us an opportunity to explain a few things. But these
two.... People aren't ready to understand. And besides, they don't fit
the style of the Bulletin. What we need is a "combat magazine," a
journal that combats all the ordinary ideas; then all these aphorisms
(the ones on doctors, for instance) would be like ... yes, like
commanders in the battle. A journal with the goal of "demolishing the
old idols." Something along those lines. It would be very interesting to
do such a magazine - a combat magazi
Sri Aurobindo had made certain statements about me in those letters,
and Z deleted them. (Anyway, it makes no difference for your book,
because I'm not at all keen on having any statements about me
published.)
But Z is not honest. He hasn't been honest at all.... We were
forced to intervene once or twice because his deletions distorted the
meaning. We finally told him (for the book published here), 'We won't
publish it unless you restore these things.'
(silence)
I have also reread A.P.'s 'Evening Talks.'
Oh, in that, too, there are a lot of.... I myself wasn't present, so I
don't know what Sri Aurobindo said,

The Employer to the Employee
"Nothing lasting can be established without a basis of trust. And this trust must be mutual.
"You must be convinced that it is not only my good that I am
aiming at, but also yours. And on my side I must know and feel that you
are here not merely to profit but also to serve.
"The welfare of the whole is dependent on the welfare of each
part, and the harmonious growth of the whole is dependent on the
progress of every part.

himself, seeing all those years of nonviolence culminate in the
terrible violence that marked India's partition in 1947, ruefully
observed shortly before his death: "The attitude of violence which we
have secretly harboured now recoils on us, and makes us fly at each
other's throats when the question of distribution of power arises....
Now that the burden of subjection is lifted, all the forces of evil have
come to the surface." For neither nonviolence nor violence touch upon
the root of Evil....

Symbolisms, mon petit, there are hundreds and hundreds of them. And
people always oppose them, but ultimately they are just different ways
of seeing one and the same thing. According to my experience, everyone
has his own symbolism.
For snakes, for instance, it's quite remarkable. Some, when they
dream of snakes, have the feeling they're going to meet with
catastrophes; I myself have had all sorts of dreams with snakes: I had
to go through gardens full of snakes everywhere - on the ground, in the
trees, everywhere - and not kindly snakes! But I knew very well what it
meant; during the dream itself I knew it: it depended on certain mental
conditions

The Pondicherry radio asked me for a message to be put up in their office, so I gave them this - and they put it up!
"Teach your listeners to love the Truth.
This is a work worth doing."
(Mother laughs) They put it up, that's what amuses me!

Last night I had two consecutive experiences showing with extreme precision that black magic is at the root of all this (Mother is speaking of both general and personal difficulties, in the Ashram and in her body).
First of all, on the mental plane (the physical-mind, the
material mind) I saw an individual.... I am not entirely certain of his
identity (when I saw him last night I didn't associate him with anyone
in particular) but from his outer appearance he is evidently a sannyasi.
He was pursuing me, blocking my way and trying to stop me from doing my
work (it was a long, long affair). But I was very conscious and could

If we consider the body as the tabernacle of the Lord, then medical
science, for example, becomes the initiatory ritual of the service of
the temple, and doctors of all kinds are the officiating priests in the
different rituals of worship. Thus, medicine is really a priesthood and
should be treated as such.
The same can be said of physical culture and of all the sciences
that are concerned with the body and its workings. If the material
universe is considered as the outer sheath and the manifestation of the
Supreme, then it can generally be said that all the physical sciences
are the rituals of worship.
