This experience last night also enabled me to understand what X had felt during one of our meditations. He had explained his experience by way of saying that I was this mystic tree whose roots plunge into the Supreme and whose branches spread forth over the world,' and he said that one of these branches had entered into him - and it had been a unique experience. He had said, 'this is the Mother.' And now I understand that what he had seen and translated by this Vedic image was that kind of perpetual flood. page 374 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 1, 24th May 1960

Chittagong was hit by a cyclone, there were tidal waves somewhere else ... The cyclone went up the wrong side! - for according to X's predictions, it was Karachi that should have disappeared. He said only in 1962 or 1963 would Karachi totally disappear.And three-fourths of Bombay underwater! page 472 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 12th Nov. - 1960

Soon afterwards Did your mother intend to come by plane? By sea. Mon petit, ships can no longer sail past Port Said: the Suez Canal is closed. What's going to happen? (After a long silence) We are just like this (gesture hanging in balance between two chasms). Yesterday, I would have answered very strongly.... Let me tell you what happened. We had here an American, a very nice boy who, before he came here, was a paratroop instructor in Israel's army. I don't think he is an Israeli, I think he's American; I am sure his nationality is American, I saw his passport. But he was a paratroo

And then, death ... Just yesterday (yesterday afternoon), I had an example. An accident took place, have you heard about it? [[A teenage girl drowned in the Ashram's swimming pool in the presence of her whole group. ]] They're really wondering how it happened. As for me, I INSTANTLY saw that there was in the girl a psychic will (which she wasn't conscious of: she only felt an unease), but there was a psychic will to die (why? I don't know, I haven't yet seen why). That was clear. And how everything was arranged to favor that, it's almost miraculous (you don't talk about it because people will say you're going mad if you call such a misfortune "miraculous"). But habitually, a

You see, every national entity has a right to free and independent existence, provided it doesn't interfere in the free and independent existence of all other entities. Ambitions, territorial expansions - of course, all colonies and all of that - must be swept out of the picture. To defend themselves, the Egyptians say that the Israelis had publicly declared that Israel's border should be the Nile - I don't know if that's true. I don't know if it's true because everybody tells lies. On their part, the Egyptians publicly declared three years ago (it was a public declaration), they publicly declared that the Israeli nation had no right to ex

I have just explained to Z my program for getting out of the present difficulties,' and I think if he has not concluded that I am totally mad, it is because he has an immense respect for me! But as always in these cases, there is such a joy in me, such an exultation: all the cells are dancing. I understand why people begin singing, dancing, etc. It takes a formidable power to remain like that (gesture of solidity): there is such a desire in the throat to sing! page 173 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 5th July - 1958 I answered. The letters must have left. I wrote (in English) that it's not so much a question of organization as of attitude - t

There were two days recently (since I saw you last time), two days ... especially Thursday, the day the peacock [[A disciple's peacock had escaped and spent the whole day in the tree above the Samadhi and on the Ashram's terraces. (The peacock is the symbol of victory.) ]] was there.... The peacock crowed victory the whole day (I saw it in the evening, it came and saw me on the terrace, it was so sweet!).... Two very, very difficult days. After that, a sort of solidly established feeling that nothing is impossible - nothing is impossible (Mother points to Matter). What thought has long known, what the heart has long known, what the whole inner being has long known,

There's a problem. It's about P.L. - do you know who he is?[[A visitor who has been staying in the Ashram for some time. ]] No. He is one of the dignitaries of the Roman Curia. I don't understand! He is a Catholic? He's going to be appointed bishop in [such and such a country]. ...!!! So there's a problem. He is an important person, and he wantsto leave everything - this whole Christianity he rejects, he no longer wants it. He wants to leave his Church, his episcopate, everything, and remain here. He has "found" something here. Yes, I saw that man: he was very much attached.

(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 architec
