Then when there was that Cripps proposal, [[See Agenda III, November 17, 1962, p. 420. ]] I believe it was Nehru (or Gandhi, I don't remember which of the two) who said, "He has withdrawn from political life, why is he meddling! It's none of his business." They never forgave him. That is to say, completely obtuse, unable to understand that one can have a knowledge higher than practical knowledge. There you are. page 173-74 - Mother's Agenda , volume 4 , 15th June 1963

(A little later, the conversation turns to the events of February 11, when during Satprem's absence the Ashram was attacked by rioters and several buildings were looted and set on fire.) Do you have anything to ask or to say? Many things have happened in the last month or two.... On the evening of the attack, on the 11th, a little after seven in the evening, I had for the first time, in a concrete, total way, the physical - physical - earth consciousness. It was a STATE of consciousness that was given to me, the state of consciousness of the earth. The physical, bodily consciousness no longer existed: it was the PH

But is there a way for you to contact those people in Delhi andhave them told what you want? Ah, if I sent someone they would receive him. It's this N.S. who is a member of the government, she has a whole group with her, a party that has grown fairly strong. It's quite recent, they've just asked us to send them someone. N.S. only knows N., so she told him, "Would you like to come?" N. has offered to go, but ...[[N.S. was to betray Indira Gandhi later, just as N. was to betray Mother. ]] He has a knack with people, but ... No, he's not the man. He doesn't strike one as being pure and straight. He

Did I tell you that in Italy a veterinarian has found a cure for cancer? ... This man has discovered that goats, the goat species (male and female), never have cancer! They even went as far as trying to make them have cancer, and they didn't succeed. Conclusion: in their makeup, there's something opposed to cancer; they've discovered that something in the stomach (I forget the details), and he made a serum. As he is a veterinarian, he doesn't have the right to give it, but he has doctor friends, and those doctors (a dozen or so) have tried it out - extraordinary cure, without fail. But with a difference: the female goat cures certain cases, while the male cur

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 with a

You know that in the night that followed the darshan, they found Rishabhchand... [[An old and very faithful disciple whose body was found on the beach. This is the continuation of the series that began with Bharatidi, then Amrita, Pavitra.... Rishabhchand was the author of Sri Aurobindo - His Life Unique. ]] For almost a year he had asked me to leave. So, when he asked me to leave (he asked quite in earnest: he was suffering a lot, quite miserable), I did what I always do: I presented his request to the Supreme Lord and said to Him ... And then, he didn't leave. He recovered. He recovered and for some time he was much better. But his will to go remained. So t

It happened last night. For approximately three hours, the physical ego disintegrated for the first time in such a total way. Nothing remained but the Force, nothing remained but Sat-Chit-Ananda,' and not only in the consciousness but in the physical sensation - the divine Satchidananda spreading in a constant flood throughout the universe. These experiences are always absolute, as long as they last; then, through certain signs that I know (I am accustomed to it), I notice that the body consciousness begins closing up again. Or rather, 'something' - evidently a Supreme Wisdom - decides it's sufficient for this time and that the

I know - I know He wants me to learn not to take seriously the responsibility ("responsibility" isn't the right word), the formidable task of finding 8,000 rupees a day to meet the Ashram's expenses - in other words, a colossal fortune every month. And I very well see (because I told Him several times, "You know, it would be great fun if I had plenty of money to play with"), so I see that He laughs, but He doesn't answer!... He teaches me to be able to laugh at this difficulty, to see the cashier send me his book in which the figures are growing astronomical ([laughing] it's by 50,000, 60,000, 80,000, 90,000), while the drawer is nearly empty!

But these people just can't get out of their education! Here is a lady [A. Bailey], quite renowned, it seems (she's dead now), who became the disciple of a Tibetan lama ... and she still speaks of Christ as the sole Avatar! She just can't get out of it! And each one has the absolute Truth! page 181 , Mother's Agenda , volume - 2 - 25th April - 1961 The first thing I did this morning was to open this book by Alice Bailey (I've had it for several days, I had to have a look at it). So I looked ... Ah, I said - well, well! Here's a person who's dead now, but she was the disciple of a Tibetan Buddhist lama and c
