Things are going very badly: a pack of enemies assailing me, friends deserting us - it's going very, very badly. Then yesterday evening, while I was walking for japa and all these 'good tidings' were arriving, I said to the Lord, 'Listen, Lord, you have Indra to help the good people - I beseech you, send him to me; he has some work to do!' (Mother laughs) Then my walk became so amusing! I was watching them come in as I walked - Indra and all the other gods - and they were hard at work.
