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 animal it is. One is a hawk,' but the other has a head like ... (Mother makes the same gesture) Like a jackal? Yes, like a jackal, that's it. Yes, that's what it was. With a kind of ly

Two or three days after I retired to my room upstairs, [[Mother withdrew on December 9. In fact, She had been unwell for already more than a month before withdrawing. On November 26, the last 'Wednesday class' took place at the playground; on November 28 the last 'Friday class', on December 6, the last 'Translation class'; on December i, the end of Mother's tennis and the last visit to the playground. page 252 - Mother's Agenda, volume 1, Dec.. - 1958

As a child, when I was around ten or twelve years old, I had some rather interesting experiences which I didn't understand at all. I had some history books - you know, the textbooks they give you to learn history. Well, I'd read and suddenly the book would seem to become transparent, or the printed words would become transparent, and I'd see other words or even pictures. I hadn't the faintest idea what was happening to me! And it appeared so natural to me that I thought it was the same for everybody. But my brother and I were great chums (he was only a year and a half older), so I would tell him: "They talk nonsense in history, you know - it is L

Yes, in Orissa, for example. A large part of Orissa is entirely under Sri Aurobindo's influence, 7 Avril , 1971, vol - 12, L'Agenda de Mère I've just come from there [the music room where Mother receives visitors]. I saw some twenty people.... There was Orissa's Chief Minister (Orissa is the first province in India to give money for a pavilion in Auroville: they gave a lakh of rupees). He is a nice man. The people from Orissa, they are nice people; of all provinces, they are the ones who seem the most eager to forge ahead, to change something. And Bengal? Isn't it ahead? They're a bit ... fanciful. I mean, th

Then I looked, wondering, "And what was Christ's path?"... Basically, he always said, "Love thy neighbor," in other words brotherhood (but that's a modern translation). For him, the idea was compassion, charity (the Christians say it's the "law of Love," but we're not yet there - that will come much later). So I wrote: Jesus preached Compassion.... page 100 , Mother's Agenda , volume 4 , 27th March 1963

-435_The Mother's sutras.html THE MOTHER'S SUTRAS 1) Be ambitious for nothing, above all pretend nothing, but be at each instant the utmost of what you can be.² 2) As for your place in the universal manifestation, only the Supreme can assign it to you. 3) It is the Supreme Lord who has ineluctably decreed the place you occupy in the universal concert, but whatever be this place, you have equally the same right as all others to ascend the supreme summits right to the supramental realization. 4) What you are in the truth of your being is decreed in an irrevocable way, and nothing nor anyone can stop you from being it; but the path you take to get there is left t

A member of UNESCO has asked a stupid question, something to this effect: "There was a time when India represented the spiritual consciousness" (or "taught the spiritual consciousness," I don't remember now), "but now that she is engaged in such a war, who will play this role?"...[[Here is the exact text of the question: "If India, who held (till recently) the hope for humanity in the light of her spiritual leaders, can get involved in such a war, who would lead the world?" ]] So instead of replying to the question, because I might have told him a thing or two, I answered what you've just read. page 245 - Mother's Agenda , volume 6, 16th Sept

-261_Mother's Agenda.html L'Agenda de Mère - vol 3 , 1962 March 13, 1962 You're in a bad mood; oh yes, I could see it from far away. (Satprem voices various complaints, then adds.) And then to top it off, the other day you tell me this Agenda isn't interesting either, that it's not worth keeping. So what am I doing here? What? What's not worth keeping? Your Agenda. My Agenda? But I treasure it! Oh, you said it didn't interest you.... Me? I said that! Page 121 Yes. You sure did! Then I was lying. No, obviously not. But you said it didn't interest you and it should be filed away in a corner or I don't know what. So what am I doing here? You surely misunderstood me. I sa

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
