M o t h e r's   A g e n d a   1966-11-19 November 19, 1966 (Mother holds out a small rose to Satprem:) I have a lovely rose for you. Do you know what it is? No, Mother. I thought as much! What is it? It's true tenderness: that of the Divine. People don't know, they always think of something very human. But it's not human ... (Mother closes her eyes and remains standing in concentration) It's extremely luminous, rose-colored, slightly golden ... always smiling.... It's a very particular sensation. (After a long silence) Everything is like a beautiful pink rose - a beautiful rose. It's better than that, much better ... (how can I put it?). No difficulties can exist - they don't exist [when one i

December 14, 1966 ... On the 16th, Friday, I have eighty-five people to see! ... It's a miracle if I am not in a complete daze. Yes, you lead an impossible life. Oh, day and night. I couldn't put up with your life for a minute. (Mother laughs) Starting from 8 in the morning, this place is frightful. And they're not content! They want more. Even humanly it's not possible. Oh, I can guarantee it's humanly impossible. I know what it is, I have constantly to ... to disappear into the Supreme. Otherwise, it's not possible. The physical personality constantly, constantly goes away like this (gesture upward) so He alone may be there. Otherwise I couldn't hold out. Fo

December 24, 1966 (Regarding the School's pupils:) From every side they ask the question (they are all like that), "What IS the Truth? What do you mean when you speak of the Truth?" They want a mental definition of the Truth.... Truth cannot be expressed in the mind's terms. That's the point. And all the questions they ask are mental ones. Truth cannot be formulated, it cannot be defined, but it can be LIVED. And one who has completely dedicated himself to the Truth, who wants to live the Truth and serve the Truth, will know EVERY MINUTE what he has to do: it will be a sort of intuition or revelation (more often than not wordless, but sometimes also expressed in word

April 23, 1966 Mother hands Satprem a brochure on Auroville The photos are very pretty. One is quite like a nebula. Practically, is it moving? It seems to be going quite well. A very widespread collective response, and from the two opposite sides: the whole Communist side is moving, and the whole financial, American side is moving. There is an effervescence. It's sure to work, I KNOW it exists - the city is already there (it has been for many, many years). Interestingly, my creation was with Sri Aurobindo in the center, then when Sri Aurobindo left, I let it all rest, I didn't budge anymore. Then it suddenly started coming again, as if to say, "Now is the time, it must be

June 18, 1966 Why have men created such fixed things as languages? ... It's so deliberately narrow and limited. And I think that's what abolished in man the possibility of intuition, because ... He is forced to become so narrow in order to make himself understood. You feel you could be sitting in front of a genius and have no means to communicate, except like this (gesture above the head of a communication on a higher plane). They are wondering how to communicate with other solar systems.... But our very way of thinking stems from our form, it's because we count one-two-three-four-five with our fingers, so we say one-two-three-four-five. Others use other words, but if five Page 1

August 31, 1966 I gave you a very long speech quite early this morning: you were sleeping. Didn't you hear? What did you tell me! Oh, it was very long.... It wasn't personal. I told you how the true movement gets distorted, and I gave you examples. Very interesting examples because they don't look like much, but it's something fundamental, in the sense that that's how Truth is turned into falsehood. And it's so subtle that unless one has experienced it, mentally one cannot understand. What I explained to you was the experience, and there were two examples, which I told you in a very precise way ... now I don't remember the words. You don't remember? The words were of the

November 15, 1966 ... I am nonexistent. Tired? No, absolutely gone (gesture above). I realize it's absolutely useless to want anything and that nothing gets done.... Nonexistent. See the time, it's 10:45. I have given up. I am just a robot good for signing papers, that's all. Whether I want or don't want ... Of course, "I" stopped wanting long ago, but anyway, for me to express a necessity is absolutely useless. Absolutely. I am truly gone. Don't go away! Oh, it doesn't matter. This (Mother points to her body) is still here! You know, one thing upon another, one upon another, in every field: I see what must be and what is true, and everything, but everything, combine

April 9, 1966 (About the book Satprem is writing, "The Sannyasin") Page 81 I still see that vision I had. [[The vision of the Sannyasin with his back to a bronze door. See Agenda 1, November 20 and 22, 1958. ]] Strangely, it was one of the most unexpected visions, in the sense that I had no mental preparation: all of a sudden I saw that Sannyasin, with his back to a wall and a sort of hurricane approaching. It was a hurricane of noise, of clamor.... Nothing could be seen; nothing could be seen but the force of the vibrations coming up like a storm: he had his back to the wall, there was a sort of gale, and a chasm in front. And that vision of mine struck such a deep chord that e

December 7, 1966 (Mother hands Satprem a flower called "Grace," then a second "Grace.") Would you like a second Grace?... There's never too much of it! Oh, the other day someone asked me a question on the message for November 24,[["There are these three powers [governing life on earth]: (1) The Cosmic Law, of Karma or what else; (2) the Divine Compassion acting on as many as it can reach through the nets of the Law and giving them their chance; (3) the Divine Grace which acts more incalculably but also more irresistibly than the others." (Sri Aurobindo) ]] and Sri Aurobindo replied. It was so interesting! I saw something all of a sudden. While he was speaking it was absolutely ma

January 22, 1966 I saw Purani last night. It's the first time I have seen him since he went out of his body.[[Purani, a charming old disciple, who passed away on December 11, 1965. See Agenda VI, conversation of December 28, 1965, p. 341. ]] There were other people too. I saw him in a subtle physical world and he was all light blue and pink, and everything around him was pink and luminous (Mother makes a dancing gesture). He was pleased, oh, so pleased, he said, "Now I am happy!" (silence) Lots of preoccupations? No! This morning I lived for two hours in a sort of blissful state in which there was, oh, such a clear awareness that all forms of life, in all the worlds and at
