Go find Andre and bring him here.

(Satprem goes out to fetch Andre. They return together.)

Ah! (to Andre:) What will you say now? ... I don't understand anything anymore! (Andre laughs)

(Andre:) Well, Satprem would like to know what's happening with his books....

Yes, and he's right.

Yes. And by the same token, it would be good if we could know - if someone in the Ashram could know - what exactly

M. is doing with Sri Aurobindo's books.

Yes, quite.

......

I'll go further, Mother: for the last two years, I haven't been able to put my hand on the corrections made to the film

negatives, I mean the offset reproduction of the Centenary

edition [of Sri Aurobindo's works].

There were corrections made?

Yes, there were. I know there were because M. told me so. I asked him for a list....

What corrections? Who made corrections?

There's a boy working with him who makes the corrections.
But, look here, this is incredible! On the pretext that I can't see to this myself, they don't even show me!! They make corrections without telling me!

I don't know how serious these are, I have no idea.
Oh, but "serious" or not, they CANNOT make corrections without asking me!

True, Mother.
Good heavens! ... So what can we do now?
