(Mother hands a box to Satprem) F. and R. have come and she brought me some candied chestnuts from Paris....

Yesterday, for instance, I had to see F. and R., since they had just arrived the day before. I spent three-quarters of an hour with them, and by the time it was over they had literally EMPTIED the atmosphere of all spiritual sense - it had become empty and hollow. It took me two or three minutes of concentration (which isn't so long) to bring it all back to normal.
