There was the story of Ford, who had sent word to Sri Aurobindo and me that he was coming here to ask us the question that tormented him: "What happens after death?" And he said he was ready to give his fortune to whoever could answer him. Someone had told him, "Yes, Sri Aurobindo can answer you." So Ford had sent word that he was preparing to come and ask us his question. And then he died! page 254 , Mother's Agenda , volume 7 , 3rd Nov - 1966

No news? Tell me whatever you like. David, the young Italian who made a documentary on Sri Aurobindo, now wants to film "The Gold Washer." But he wants to do it in the true spirit, with your help, showing how it inevitably leads to Sri Aurobindo and you. Oh, very good! Very good. page 299 , Mother's Agenda , volume 13 , 21st Oct - 1972-1973

The diamond light of Bliss has the power to melt all hostile forces. Nothing can resist it. No consciousness, no being, no hostile will can draw near it without immediately being dissolved, for it is the Divine light in its pure creative power. page 135 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 22nd Jan - 1958 Mother compares the Truth to a pure white light, then continues:) ... But this white, precisely, is composed of all the colors. So when you perceive a thing, instead of seeing it as white, there are a certain number of colors that completely elude your perception: you see red, green, yellow, blue or something

Didn't you ever see your body? Never. [[This is in fact incorrect. Satprem remembers occasions when, while playing in his room as a child, he saw his body quietly asleep in bed - only to rush back into it. ]] Well, it's safer that way than the other way! I've known several people, especially I., who worked with Dilip (she used to have visions, she danced also): when she went into meditation, it was all over; even when she tried to come back and move, she couldn't. Dilip had to come and pull her hands, disengage her fingers and move her body, till she began coming around. But you understand, that sort of thing won't do at a

So personally, I am convinced that there was indeed a tradition anterior to both these traditions containing a knowledge very close to an integral knowledge. Certainly, there is a similarity in the experiences. When I came here and told Sri Aurobindo certain things I knew from the occult standpoint, he always said that it conformed to the Vedic tradition. And as for certain occult practices, he told me that they were entirely tantric - and I knew nothing at that time, absolutely nothing, neither the Vedas nor the Tantras. So very probably there was a tradition anterior to both. I have recollections (for me, these are always things I have LIVED), ver

Do you have anything?... No questions, nothing to say? There is a note from G., if you'd like me to read it.... He says: "Mother, "My health problem [serious heart attacks] has led me toreveal many hidden elements in the body, like Mother's love, grace, and Mother herself with me.... My body seems no more at the mercy of old beliefs. Thus, my confidence in the body is increasing more and more day by day, and I feel and see clearly that the body can throw away any kind of diffi culty in it by coming in the contact with Mother's love and grace. One day, I asked Mother from within not to allow more such at

Sometimes I wonder if it's not sheer folly to attempt it.... Shouldn't this body simply be left to dissolve and let others, better fit for the new functioning, be prepared? I don't know. I don't know. No one has ever done this before, so there's no one to tell me. So my solution is always the same: I am like this (gesture of surrender), the body saying, "I am quite willing to try, I am trying my best." Is it folly, or is it really possible? ... I don't know. But long ago there was a knowledge like that - all the ancient scriptures mention it. I believe so. I believe so. I feel a very st
