March (?) 1959 (Letter to Mother from Satprem) Pondicherry Sweet Mother, When coming out of your room, X told me, 'With Mother I have spoken my own mother tongue.' ... ... ... .. . X told me that in 6 months, he would come here to spend an entire month for the initiation and preparing for the initiation. He spoke to me of this in the street after having seen P, and in an enigmatic way he told me something along these lines: 'Yes, strong men are needed here. The Power is needed.' I did not clearly understand, for it was said with a lot of innuendo behind it. I am your child, Sweet Mother. Signed: Satprem Page 289 ISBN 2-902776-33-0

Topographical Note From the time of Sri Aurobindo's departure (1950) until 1957, we have only a few notes and fragments or rare statements noted from memory. These are the only landmarks of this period, along with Mother's Questions and Answers from her talks at the Ashram Playground. A few of these conversations have been reproduced here insofar as they mark stages of the Supramental Action. From 1957, Mother received us twice a week in the office of Pavitra, the most senior of the French disciples, on the second floor of the main Ashram building, on some pretext of work or other. She listened to our queries, spoke to us at length of yoga, occultism, her past experience

August 9, 1958 If human love came forth unalloyed, it would be all-powerful. Unfortunately, in human love, there is as much SELF love as love for the beloved; it is not a love that makes you forget yourself. Evidently the gods of the Puranas are a good deal worse than human beings, as we saw in that film the other day' (and that story was absolutely true). The gods of the Overmind are infinitely more egocentric - the only thing that counts for them is their power, the extent of their power. Man has in addition a psychic being, so consequently he has true love and compassion - wherein lies his superiority over the gods. It was very, very clearly expressed in this film, and it's ve

April 24, 1959 (Note sent by Mother to Satprem) 24 April 1959 The divine perfection is always there above us; but for man to become divine in consciousness and act and to live inwardly and outwardly the divine life is what is meant by spirituality; all lesser meanings given to the word are inadequate fumblings or impostures.'

November 12, 1957 The integral yoga is made up of an uninterrupted series of tests that you must pass through without any advance notice, thereby forcing you to be always vigilant and attentive. Three groups of examiners conduct these tests. Apparently they have nothing in common and their methods are so different, at times even so seemingly contradictory, that they do not appear to work towards the same goal, and yet they complete one another, they work together for a common aim and each is indispensable for the integral result. These three categories of tests are: those conducted by the forces of Nature, those conducted by the spiritual and divine forces, and those conducted

December 4, 1958 (Letter to Mother from Satprem) Hyderabad, December 1958 Sweet Mother, I had come to Hyderabad intending to prepare for a trip to Africa, but when it came to actually doing it, I simply could not. It is stronger than I; I cannot leave India, I cannot live without my soul. Until these last days, I still thought I could count on some outer solution to resolve my problem, but now I am up against a wall; Page 253 I see that nothing can be DONE and the only solution is what you said one day: 'Consent no longer to be.' Mother, I have made many mistakes, I have often been rebellious and fallen into many holes. Help me to pick myself up, give me no

Undated 1958 When the hostile forces want to attack those around me but do not succeed in making them overtly hostile to Sri Aurobindo's work or in making them turn against me personally, they always use the same tactic, with the same argument: 'You may have all the inner realizations you want,' they say, 'the most beautiful experiences possible inside your four Ashram walls, but as far as the outer world is concerned, your life is wasted, lost. There is an abyss you will never bridge between your inner experience and a concrete realization in the world.' This is the number one argument of the hostile forces. I know it well - for millions of years I have been hearing them say the
