We are preparing upon earth the connecting-point, that point of communication and junction between the mental and terrestrial human consciousness and the supramental and superhuman Consciousness. It is a whole intermediate world that is being worked out, a new creation manifesting and materializing. In order to be realized here upon earth, this creation must utilize the already existing material means and powers, but in a new way, adapted to the new needs. One of the most essential powers is the financial power. Page 171 Home ISBN 2-902776-33-0

October 30, 1960 (After a meditation with Mother on the occasion of the disci ple's birthday. At the outset of the conversation, Mother had given the disciple a small leather wallet with an Egyptian fresco depicted on it.) Let me see the wallet (Mother looks at it) ... Ah, so that has nothing to do with it! As soon as the meditation began, I started seeing quite familiar scenes from ancient Egypt. And you, you looked a little different, but quite similar all the same ... The first thing I saw was their god with a head like this (gesture of a muzzle), with a sun above his head. A dark animal head with ... I know it VERY WELL, but I don't remember exactly which an

October 19, 1955 The three images of total self-giving to the Divine: 1) To prostrate oneself at His feet in a surrender of all pride, with a perfect HUMILITY. 2) To unfold one's being before Him, to open entirely one's body from head to toe, as one opens a book, spreading open one's centers so as to make all their movements visible in a total SINCERITY that allows nothing to remain hidden. 3) To nestle in His arms, to melt in Him in a tender and absolute CONFIDENCE. These movements may be accompanied by three formulas, or any one of them, depending upon the case: 1) May Your Will be done and not mine. 2) As You will, as You will ... 3) I am Yours for eternity

Undated 1958 (Concerning Finances') Money is a force and should not be an individual possession, no more than air, water or fire. To begin with, the abolishment of inheritance. ** Financial power is the materialization of a vital force turned into one of the greatest powers of action: the power to attract acquire, and utilize. Like all the other powers, it must be put at the service of the Divine. Page 206 ISBN 2-902776-33-0

July 21, 1958 Human beings don't know how to keep energy. When something happens - an accident or an illness, for example - and they ask for help, a double or a triple dose of energy is sent. If they happen to be receptive, they receive it. This energy is given for two reasons: to restore order out of the disorder caused by the accident or illness, and to impart a transformative force to repair or change the source of the illness or accident. But instead of using the energy in this way, they immediately throw it out. They start stirring about, reacting, working, speaking ... They feel full of energy and they throw it all out! They can't keep anything. So naturally, since the energ

July 18, 1957 (Letter to Mother from Satprem) Pondicherry, July 18, 1957 Sweet Mother, I have just received a letter from my friends in charge of the French Archaeological Expedition to Afghanistan. They need someone to assist them on their next field excavations (August 15 December 15) and have offered to take me if I wish to join them. If I must have some new experience outside, this one has the advantage of being short-termed and not far away from India, and it is also in an interesting milieu. The only disadvantage is that I would have to pay for the trip as far as Kabul. But I don't want to do anything that displeases you or of which you do not really approve. In the

August 20, 1960 (While filing various old papers, notes, etc., Mother happens upon the plan for a film studio at the lake') It's at the lake. The property belonged to the mission and at that time its manager was a very good friend of ours, even though he was a missionary. He said that he would arrange for us to have it. Everything was arranged, and I was to receive the money to buy it (they asked for more than fifty or sixty thousand rupees#). But then the money didn't come and our missionary friend left. He's no longer there; he's been replaced by someone else. (Mother looks at a piece of paper) 'Calling Antonin Raymond3.' The architect for the construction. Then ther

June 7, 1960 ... I have to see some fellow again whom I saw yesterday. But I told him to come at 11 o'clock. So if I leave here at 10:55, that will give me enough time. They brought these people to 'Prosperity' to introduce them to me. You know, I had precisely the impression that they feed only on banknotes! (Mother laughs) It makes you gray, oh! ... And dry like dead wood. They came to see their son (son, son-in-law, nephew ... anyway, it's the same person) about some business - some money matter. Then one of them asked to see me. I thought they would simply send some woman - not at all: the whole group, face to face and in a circle, and they began lecturing me on business! ... So

September 20, 1960 X has spoken to me several times of his lack of esteem formost people in the Ashram: 'Why does Mother keep all these empty pots?' he says. If he imagines for one moment that I believe all the people here are doing sadhana, he is grossly mistaken! The idea is that the earth as a whole must be prepared in all its forms, including even those least ready for the transformation. There must be a symbolic representation of all the elements on earth upon which we can work to establish the link.' The earth is a symbolic representation of the universe, and the group is a symbolic representation of the earth. Sri Aurobindo and I had discussed the matter in 191
