Suddenly, last evening, X went furiously on the warpath against the Indian 'Congress'# and with an irrefutable tone, like someone who knows, began making very interesting predictions.

Before five months are over (in September, October or November), Pakistan will attack India with the help or the complicity or the military resources of the United States. And at about the same time, China will attack India because of the Dalai Lama, under the pretext that India is supporting the Dalai Lama and that thousands of Tibetan refugees are escaping into India to carry on anti-Chinese activities. Then America will offer its support to India against China and then, said X, 'We shall see what will be the political policy of the Congress Party, which pretends to be unaligned with any bloc. If India accepts American aid, there will be no more Pakistan but rather American troops to prevent conflicts between Muslims and Hindus, and a single government for both countries.' I pointed out to X that this sounded very much like a world war ...

Then he made the following comparison: 'When you throw a pebble into a pond, there is just one center, one point where it falls, and everything radiates out from this center. There are two such centers in the world at present, two places where there are great vibrations: one is India and Pakistan, and that will radiate all over Asia. And the other is ... '

(Pavitra:) What was this 'Chronicle of Kl'?

It wasn't 'Ki' but 'Chi,' for he was the founder of China! - those things were fantastic! The story was almost childish, but there was a whole world of knowledge in it. Madame Theon was an extraordinary occultist. That woman had incredible faculties, incredible.

You spoke last time of putting a body on a vital being. Is that being still alive? Who was it?

I have spoken of this before. I told the story of the Chinese revolution, and how this being left me, saying.... It was just five years before the Chinese revolution. I've told the story.

I know I've told it - but it was never noted down.

I used to dictate. Théon taught me to speak while in trance (that is, he had taught my BODY to express itself), and I would tell him everything I was doing while doing it. And he never noted any of it down - I suspect he did it on purpose: he wasn't interested in making revelations. So it's all lost. But had it been noted down, hour by hour, minute by minute, it would have made an extraordinary scientific document on the occult - extraordinary! He never noted it down.

But that vital being who was given a body - did it live on earth for any length of time?

No, never.

Never?

He stopped at the subtle physical - he refused to go any farther. It was Satan, the Asura [[Asura: demon of the mental plane embodying the forces of division and darkness. ]] of Light who, in cutting himself off from the Supreme, fell into Unconsciousness and Darkness (I've told the story many times). But anyway, when I was with Théon, I summoned that being and asked him if he wanted to enter into contact with the earth. It's worth mentioning that Théon himself was an incarnation of the Lord of Death - I've had good company in my life! And the other one [Richard] was an incarnation of the Lord of Falsehood - but it was only partial. With Théon too it was partial. But with Satan it was the central being; of course, he had millions of emanations in the world, but this was the central being in person. The others ... let's keep that for another time.

He agreed to take on a body. Théon wanted to keep him there: "Don't let him go," he told me. I didn't answer. This being told me he didn't want to be more material than that, it was sufficient - you could feel him move the way you feel a draft, it was that concrete.

And he said he was going to set up the Chinese revolution. "I am going to organize a secret society to set up the revolution in China," he told me. "And mark my words: it's going to happen in exactly five years." He gave me the date and I noted it down.

And EXACTLY five years later, it happened. Later I met people coming from China who told me it had all been the work of a secret society. They told me about it because that society used a certain sign, and instinctively, unknowingly, I had made that sign while one of them was talking to me (Mother puts one fist on top of the other). And the person said, "Ah, so you're one of us! " I didn't reply. Then he told me everything.

But it's really interesting because the exact date was given. "The revolution will take place in exactly five years," he told me. He knew it before he left. "And that," he continued, "will be the beginning, the first terrestrial movement heralding the transformation of...." (Théon didn't use the word "supramental"; he used to talk about "the new world on earth.")[[ The reader will remember the formation of the Kuo-min-tang and the troubles in the Yangtze Valley which took place in October 1911 and led to the fall of the Manchu Dynasty in 1912. Thus it was in October 1906, at Tlemcen, that Mother had the encounter she relates here. It was also in 1906 that Mao Tse-tung, at the age of fourteen, came into conflict with his father, a prelude to his revolutionary career. ]]

But I did note that down.

When he comes like this, when he manifests this way, you get the feeling that all the disorderly vibrations of life are being kept at a distance - everything becomes so peaceful and ... unconditioned: it depends on nothing, absolutely nothing. A peace coming solid and concrete, capable of existing anywhere at all - even on the Chinese border today. [[Three days ago, the Chinese crossed the MacMahon line and have since advanced fifteen miles into Indian territory. ]]

Do you think there's going to be war?
They're already fighting.

(silence)

I had the vision of conflagration that always heralds war for me: I had it three or four days before the fighting began. But it wasn't long-lasting, it was coming to an end very quickly. We shall see. Very violent and very rapid.[[ Mother told another disciple about a vision in which she saw a city (symbolic of a country) attacked by two bolts of lightning at once, one from the East and one from the West. ]]

The situation is bad, very bad. They're on the verge of taking Assam - things are very bad.

But for what reason? Why are they doing this?
It seems they're circulating maps in China showing Nepal, Bhutan, Assam and the rest as all part of China.

So that's their intention - to settle there.

It's not very clear why.
National ambition. To put a constant pressure on India and force it to go communist.

To impose their rule, you see - they're at the door and can enter whenever they want.

Why did they take Tibet?

And then they've declared that Gaurishankar is Chinese - the summit of the earth is China, not India at all.... Ambition.

(silence)

And this side of Bengal and Assam is full of Chinese who settled there years and years ago; there are thousands and thousands of them, doing business. And all the communists support them, and it seems they keep a very accurate and meticulous list of those for and those against communism. (What do they base it on? I don't know - on what people say or do.) And the idea is that it's all going to be taken like this (gesture of encircling India).

It's nasty.

Things seem to be taking a nasty turn.

China has already recalled its ambassador from Delhi. The Indians haven't recalled theirs from Peking, but they'll be forced to. This kind of thing can't be one-sided, one side recalling its ambassador and the other side leaving theirs; and the minute they recall their ambassador, the bombing starts.

Not many airplanes have pilots nowadays - that's old-fashioned. The planes do their business all by themselves. They are completely automatic. So what's needed is truly a Power that can act on the most mechanical matter. I mean for protection, for instance: these things don't depend on human wills, nor even on beings of the terrestrial atmosphere - the Supreme alone can decide. Just as He decides "This is to be done," so He also decides ... ["This won't be"]. That's all. He is the only recourse.

There's no longer any hope that a human being can give protection by his own power - it doesn't work any more. If the Lord is protecting you, fine, nothing will happen to you. But as far as knowing what He's going to decide.... For if He decides upon such a destruction, it means the earth truly needs it - otherwise He wouldn't decide it.

Anyway, it's best not to think about it - we'll see soon enough. We'll see from this world here or from a more subtle one (laughing), that's all.

All I know is that it was a very bad night, and I woke up this morning completely drained and with plenty of difficulties - and it's not over yet.[[On this same day, November 20, China announced a cease-fire and withdrawal of its troops. ]]


Later:

If things take a bad turn, soon no one will be able to move; once again we'll be (gesture) shut up in an egg.

When Sri Aurobindo was here, you went to sit in the room he was in, and felt perfectly sheltered from everything - and it was true.

The only danger at the time was Japan, and Japan had officially declared it wouldn't bomb Pondicherry because of Sri Aurobindo. But at least there were still men in their planes, and they could choose not to bomb. But you don't tell a jet plane "Don't crash here"! It crashes wherever it can.

Yes, but it's still hard to see why they would come here.
If they want to bomb Madras, that's just too close. Between the oil wells in Assam (that's what they want - very useful to have ...) and the Chinese, there's the same distance as between Pondicherry and Madras, so you understand.... They certainly have a motorized army, so it's nothing at all.

Anyhow....

But outwardly, difficulties are coming back, in the sense that the Chinese seem to be seized again with a zeal to conquer - they are massing troops at the border.

Yet it seems quite unlikely they will attack.
Then why are they massing troops?

Blackmail.
Obviously, but ... The result is that the Americans said they would come to help if they attacked. Even the Russians said they would help.
