In some instances, my work has been thoroughly mucked up, and I don't like that. It happened again recently: K.'s sister came because she had lost her son - it had just occurred and he was still here (he hadn't left yet). So I arranged everything, saw to the mother's condition and so forth; I arranged it all nicely, very carefully keeping the son here and telling his mother he would shortly return in some family member. Everything was well organized. But naturally that was against "the rules" - I make a habit of doing everything against the rules, otherwise there would be no point in my being here; the rules could just go on and on! So they went to see X. They shouldn't have said anything, but they did. And that was that - all sorts of things were said and my work was completely mucked up. So now it's all going according to "rule," because that's the way it "has to" be.... I am not bothering with it any more. Myself, I have learned a lot of rules I didn't know before (thank God!) - the divine Grace saved me from that whole hodgepodge of rules about how this happens and how that can't happen and how that must happen and how.... Oh, good Lord!... I saw things very simply, without a single rule in my brain, and so I did them just as simply, with no rules in my head - it worked very, very well, I didn't run into any trouble. Things worked out quite naturally and simply. And if I was told, "That can't be" - "Well, sorry," I would say, "but it's already done." page 64-65 , Mother's Agenda , volume 3 , 3rd Feb - 1962

Besides, if you remember the beginning of Savitri (I read it only recently, I hadn't known it), in the second canto, speaking of Savitri, he says she has come (he puts it poetically, of course!) to (laughing) kick out all the rules - all the taboos, the rules, the fixed laws, all the closed doors, all the impossibilities - to undo it all. I went one better; I didn't even know the rules so I didn't need to fight them! All I had to do was ignore them, so they didn't exist - that was even better. But now I have first to undo and then redo - a sheer waste of time. page 65 , Mother's Agenda , volume 3 , 3rd Feb - 1962
