I have finished my translation [of the Synthesis]. When you have finished your book and we have prepared the next Bulletin and we have a nice quiet moment, we'll go over it again. And then I've begun Savitri - ah! ... As you know, I prepare some illustrations with H., and for her illustrations she has chosen some passages from Savitri (the choice isn't hers, it's A.'s and P.'s and made intelligently), so she gives me these passages one by one, neatly typed (which is easier for my eyes). It's from the Book I, Canto IV. page 37 - Mother's Agenda , volume 4 , 30th jan 1963

Yesterday I sent you something (there wasn't much of it, just a taste): it's a bit of the pistachio puree they make for me. Concentrated food. [[Mother was already seeking the 'new food.' ]] It's funny - I have got it into my head to make you a gourmand! (Mother laughs) Good-bye, mon petit. page 118 , Mother'a Agenda , volume 2 , 7th March - 1961 (Sujata:) Food, ever since childhood I haven't liked eating. But mon petit, I have never been interested in food! I have never liked eating. When I was small, they had to think up all sorts of tricks to make me eat, to me it was the most absurd and least interesting t

What do you have?... You don't have anything?... Some people came to see you? No, aside from one or two exceptions, I refuse to see anybody. Idon't know, but I've found that now it is better for me to remain quiet. Because I was told about someone who came to see you. The only person I've seen is E. Oh, he's a nice man![[Quite a number of the tapes used to record these conversations were procured thanks to this very nice German man. We would also like to mention an American couple, M.R., who gave the majority of the tapes, and a few others, with gratitude. ]] page 233 - Mother's Agenda , volume 1

(Satprem suggests he read certain past Agenda conversations to Mother. She refuses:) You know, I've almost felt like telling you that all this Agenda stuff isn't meant for circulation. It's only for when I have come to the end - and then what's in it won't matter at all. Or else I will have gone, leaving a note saying I don't want it published ... Why! ... and that I am giving it only to ... I will say to whom. So it doesn't matter. Actually, you could type it up just as it is on the tape. You want to read it to me mainly to get (laughing) some additions, hmm? There may be additions, but there are also

Love, in its essence and in its origin, is like a white flame obliterating ALL resistances. You can have the experience yourself: whatever the difficulty in your being, whatever the weight of accumulated mistakes, the ignorance, incapacity, bad will, a single SECOND of this Love - pure, essential, supreme - melts everything in its almighty flame. One single moment and an entire past can vanish. One single TOUCH of That in its essence and the whole burden is consumed page 20 , Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 10th Jan. 1961 And when the day comes for the manifestation of supreme Love - a crystalized, concentrated descent of supreme Love -

You see, this is how it happened: there's this Ganesh2 ... We had a meditation (this was more than thirty years ago) in the room where 'Prosperity'3 is now distributed. There were eight or ten of us, I believe. We used to make sentences with flowers; I arranged the flowers, and each one made a sentence with the different flowers I had put there. And one day when the subject of prosperity or wealth came up, I thought (they always say that Ganesh is the god of money, of fortune, of the world's wealth), I thought, 'Isn't this whole story of the god with an elephant trunk merely a lot of human imagination?' Thereupon, we meditated. And who should I see walk in and

Anusuya: wife of the rishi Atri and endowed with a great inner force. In her husband's absence, three gods came (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) disguised as brahmins and asked her for something to eat. Then they refused to eat unless she served them naked. Since they were brahmins, she could not send them away without feeding them, so by her inner power, she changed them into babies and served them naked. This film was shown at the Ashram Playground on August 5, 1958. page 187 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 9th Aug. - 1958 But what does Anusuya represent? 3 She is a portrait of the ideal woman according to the Hindu conce

A little later We're still receiving heaps of letters. Lots of people want to come and are asking questions. There's going to be a crush of people - some are arranging planes! So yesterday I said, "We'll have a direct yearly flight: Paris-Auroville!" And they're going to prepare an airfield. We are already in negotiations with the government for the land: it's huge, we could make four or five airfields! There will be a landing field in Auroville: Paris-Auroville! (Mother looks very amused.) It seems that in 1972, there will be a new plane that will fly from Paris to India (Paris-Auroville!) in four hours. Which means that if

(Then Mother sorts out flowers and keeps one aside for the Ashram's cashier.) I don't have any money either. I owe him 15,000 rupees and the poor man has to pay all the rents.... I have debts everywhere! (Mother laughs) That's how it is, it doesn't matter! In the past, when I had money problems, I always had money from here or there, it was easy: I would take it, and as soon as money came, I'd put it back. But now it no longer works! I owe Amrita 20,000 rupees; I owe H. 13,000 rupees; I owe the cashier 15,000 rupees. That's how it is. It doesn't matter, I don't attach any importance to it.
