V. asked me a question about the Americans and Vietnam, so I answered him (Mother looks very amused and hands the text of her answer to Satprem):

Question

Are the Americans' presence and intervention in Vietnam justifiable?

Mother's answer

From what point of view do you ask the question?

If it is from the political point of view - politics is in complete falsehood and I am not concerned with it.

If it is from the moral point of view - morality is the shield ordinary men brandish to protect themselves from the Truth.

If it is from the spiritual point of view - the Divine Will alone is justifiable and It is what men travesty and distort in all their actions.
