Some time ago I made a discovery of that kind: someone asked me if there was any difference between Ananda and Love; I said, "No." Then he said to me, "But then how is it that some people feel Ananda while others feel Love?..." I answered him, "Yes! Those who feel Ananda are those who like to receive, who have the capacity to receive, and those who feel Love are those who have the capacity to give." But it's the same thing: you receive it as Ananda, you give it as Love. page 227 - Mother's Agenda , volume 4 , 17th July , 1963

We are told that when you ascend both beyond Nirvana or Nothingness and beyond Existence (the two SIMULTANEOUS and complementary aspects of the Supreme), there is a state of consciousness where all simultaneously and eternally exists. Thus - although God knows, it may be yet another stupidity - we can conceive of a whole set of things passing into Non-Being, and for our consciousness this would be disappearance or destruction. page 242 - Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 27th June - 1961 It's like that famous Nirvana - you can find it behind everything. There's a psychic nirvana, a mental nirvana, even a vital nirvana. I thin

For a very long time now I have been watching all the phases of the subjection to mental functioning come undone, one after another - for a very long time. That night was the end of it, the last phase: I was leaving this subjection behind and rising up into a realm of freedom. You had been very, very helpful, as I told you. Well, this latest experience was something else! It came to make me look squarely at the fact of our incapacity! Can you imagine! One thing after another, one thing after another! This subconscient is ... interminable, interminable, if you only knew ... I am skipping the details-such stupidi

They generally did it only partially, through an "emanation," not through a complete descent. It is said, for instance, that Vivekananda was an incarnation (a vibhuti) of Shiva's; but Shiva himself ... I have had a very close relationship with him and he clearly expressed the will to come down on earth only with the supramental world. When the earth is ready for supramental life, he will come. And almost all those beings will manifest - they are waiting for that moment, they do not want the present struggle and darkness. page 19 , Mother's Agenda , volume 6 , 12th Jan - 1965

Now it has all fallen flat. They are carrying on with their little activities, but it's absolutely unimportant. They publish a small journal, and V, who writes for them, is far from stupid. She is rather intelligent and I have some control over her, so I will try to stop her from writing nonsense. page 109 - Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 4th March 1961 I'm going to send this to V, asking her innocently, 'Has this appeared in your journal? Because it would be better if it didn't: we don't make propaganda.' Oh, I am hard on them, you know! page 112 - Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 4th March 1961

But I know differently and so does my body - to me it's all foolishness and has no importance. For instance, when Vinoba Bhave came to see me [[ In 1956. ]] (the man who takes care of poor people), he looked at me and said, 'Oh, you'll live a hundred years!' And I simply said, 'Yes,' it all seemed so natural. page 77 - Mother's Agenda , volume 2 , 11th Feb 1961
