Did I tell you the miracle that took place? You haven't heard about it? ... In Auroville we're going to build a big factory to mill wheat, but something huge (it's to mill wheat for the whole of India!), huge. Machines are coming I don't know from where, huge too. And they chose to land them at Pondicherry because going from Pondicherry to Auroville is easier than from Madras to Auroville. Only, when the ship came and they saw the number and the size of crates, they got terribly scared - it wasn't possible. Here it's a woman, P., who owns the landing barges, and she refused. I had her told that I needed her help and she had to do it (because she had claimed she wanted to serve me, so I took advantage of it!). I told her, "I need your help, do it." She was obliged to do it. For two days, everything went well, but they had kept the biggest crate for the end - a six-ton crate, huge - and no one knew how to do it. They would have needed enormous cranes like the ones they have in Madras, but they don't have them here: they only had two puny cranes, which together didn't even WEIGH six tons! (Mother laughs) And those cranes were supposed to lift the crate from the ship and put it on the barge. There was no other way, only that way. So they tied the crate to the two cranes and started lifting ... and the two cranes went like this (gesture of tipping over). There were people below-people looking after the trans shipment - and everyone, including the ship's captain, everyone stood there, terrified. "That's it," they thought, "we're done for, it's catastrophe." The two cranes went like this (same gesture) ... and all of a sudden, they straightened up. No one ever knew how. They straightened up, carried the crate, and it was over. It was so obviously a miracle - the captain stood almost terrorstricken, everyone. And then, those crates were intended for someone here, Mani-bhai. (of "Aurofood"), to whom I had given a blessings packet the day before the landing, and he had it on him. So he went to see the captain and told him (showing the small packet), "See this, it's what straightened up the cranes." A very simple man. It was just stating a FACT, you understand: there was a crowd, so there was no arguing; the two cranes were like this, tilting, and everyone was expecting them to ... and they straightened up! (Mother laughs) The captain met L. and told him, "Couldn't I have one of those ... (Mother laughs) little packets!" So L. came to see me. I gave packets - four packets - for him and his men. It's the first time .... L. told me, "I have seen hundreds of miracles, but this one was so obvious, and of such considerable dimensions (Mother laughs) that no one could deny it!" It's interesting. I must say there really was a concentration of force, because we were faced with an impossibility (considered practically, it was an impossibility). So there was a concentration. It's amusing. And the accuracy of the transmission (that increases the power a lot), the accuracy I credit this Consciousness with. It's this Consciousness that made the power far more PRECISE in its action .... The superman consciousness. It's interesting. But we mustn't tell the story, that would instantly look like boasting, it's disgusting! It can go to the Agenda, but ... page 88-89 , Mother's Agenda , volume 10 , 12th Mar - 1969 |
