The idea that things are not in their place, mon petit, is something I
understood even as a youngster, and it was eventually explained to me
by Theon.
In his cosmogony, Theon accounted for the successive pralayas
[[Pralaya: The destruction of a universe at the end of a cycle.
According to Hindu cosmology, the formation of each universe begins with
an 'age of truth' (satya-yuga) which slowly degenerates, like the stars, till there is no truth
left at all; it becomes a 'dark age'(kali-yuga) like ours, and ends with
a cataclysm. Then a new universe is reborn out of this cataclysm and
the cycle begins again. There is a correspondence here wit
I still remember what Théon used to say (Théon was quite against
philanthropy), he said, "Philanthropy perpetuates human misery, because
without human misery it would lose its raison d'être!" And you know,
that great philanthropist ... what was his name? In the time of Mazarin,
the one who founded the "Little Sisters of Charity"?
Vincent de Paul.
That's it. Mazarin once told him, "There have never been so many poor
as since you started looking after them!"[[Someone had written to
Mother, "I want my money to be used exclusively to conquer the causes of
our sufferings and misery." Mother had replied, "That is what we are

When P. returns from Switzerland, she will have some very interesting
stories to tell. She has written me of experiences she had with Swiss
children, genuinely interesting experiences. It is going on everywhere,
everywhere, everywhere, and in a much more precise and exact way than
one would ever believe. Even in America.

The action isn't limited. That is, it's probably limited to the earth
... although manifestations from other planets or other worlds seem to
be multiplying, too. And there have been experiences lately, rather
curious ones.

Rita:
"The actual fact of death evokes in me an
experience in
which one is thrust into space
and soars up."
Amusing! I found it very amusing. She is the only one, besides,
the others are quite practical. [[This young girl, to whom death looked
so graceful, was to die four years later. ]]
Dilip:
"A cessation of all physical activity caused by
the absence
of a source of energy (or soul)."
It's not clear.... The other two are quite practical (!)

"When the brain stops functioning and the
body starts
decomposing, it's death."

I was asked a question: "What is youth?" Here is what I replied (Mother holds out a note):
"To be young is to live in the future for the future.
To be young is to be always ready to abandon
what one is in order to become what one ought to
be....
And above all, the most important:
"To be young is never to admit the irreparable."

Then Mother takes out another note
she has just written to a disciple:

On March 19 during the translation class
the inner voice said:

and the body sat up and held
itself absolutely straight during the entire class.

both French and English.

period, Mother's back was already bent. This straightening of her back
seems to be the first physiological effect of the 'Supramental
Manifestation' of February 29, which is perhaps the reason why Mother

(Mother holds a note out to Satprem)
This is what I sent for the conferences of the New Age Association. [[An association of students from the Ashram. ]]
They asked, "Is the aim of life to be happy?..."
So I replied:
"That is just putting things topsy-turvy."The aim of
human life is to discover the Divine and
to manifest it. Naturally, this discovery leads to
happiness, but this happiness is a consequence,
not an aim in itself. And it is this mistake of taking
a mere consequence for the aim of life that has
been the cause of most of the miseries afflicting
humanity."

It is an error to confuse Joy and Felicity. They are two very
different things. Not only are their vibrations different, but their
colors are different. The color of Felicity is blue, a clear silvery
blue (the blue of the Ashram flag), very luminous and transparent. And
it has a passive and fresh quality that refreshes and rejuvenates.
Whereas Joy is a golden rose color, a pale gold with a tinge of
red, a very pale red. It is active, warm, fortifying, intensifying. The
first is sweetness, the second is tenderness.
And Bliss - what I spontaneously call Bliss - is the synthesis of
both. It is found in the very heights of
