We need a message for the Darshan of the 24th. (after a silence) I don't know if it's any good.... It's my experiences these last few days. (Mother writes with her eyes closed) Human blindness is such that many people expect to attain the Truth while keeping the habit of lying. At least 4 or 5 people around me are lying -- lying to me! Just these last few days. Shall I put that?... You're not happy! Oh yes, yes! I completely agree.... Because Falsehood has many levels. [[Satprem was thinking of the subconscious level. ]] Well, anyway I say "the habit of l

(Mother suddenly points to a piece of paper on the table beside her, on which the figure 8 is written) Did you notice this figure?... There's a line in Savitri (I can't quote exactly): "Wherever Nature is, He (the Supreme) too is there, for, in truth, He and She are one."[[As long as Nature lasts, he too is there; For this is sure that he and she are one. (I.IV. 72) ]] I was asked to find an illustration for this line, [[Mother helps a disciple, a painter, to illustrate some passages from Savitri. ]] and I found the 8. The drawing starts here (Mother draws the first half of the 8): it's the Supreme leaning forward

Some people wanted to get me nominated for the Nobel peace prize; I was asked for a statement and that's what I wrote. I wanted to say that it wasn't this person who did things - it was all Sri Aurobindo. They had wanted to give the Nobel prize to Sri Aurobindo, but he left the year before the decision was to be made. And as they don't give the prize to "dead" people, he never got it. Then they wanted to transfer it to me, and I wrote this note, because the last thing I want is name and fame. That's all there was to it. They didn't give a peace prize that year. I believe the whole affair is now buried and forgotten.

In this regard, perhaps you know that X is the tenth in the line of Bhaskaraya (my spelling of this name is perhaps not correct), the great Tantric of whom you had a vision, who could command the coming of Kali along with all her warriors. It is from X that Swami received his initiation. page 270 , Mother's Agenda , volume 1 , 14th Jan. 1959 Another thing: we happened to talk of Sri Aurobindo and Lele.' Concerning Lele, X told me, 'He was a devotee of the Bhaskaraya School; this is why there is close connection ...' I do not know if this is so, but X seemed to know. page 319 - Mother's Agenda , volume -1 , 13th June

Did I tell you what happened to my brother? No?... My brother was a terribly serious boy, and frightfully studious - oh, it was awful! But he also had a very strong character, a strong will, and there was something interesting about him. When he was studying to enter the Polytechnique, I studied with him - it interested me. We were very intimate (there were only eighteen months between us). He was quite violent, but with an extraordinary strength of character. He almost killed me three times, [[On another occasion, Mother told Sujata more about these three times her brother almost killed her: 'One day we were playing croquet, and either because he got beaten or

Speaking of which, I looked at T's most recent questions on the Aphorisms again. All these children haven't the least sense of humor, so Sri Aurobindo's paradoxes throw them into a kind of despair! ... The last aphorism went something like this: 'When I could read a wearisome book from one end to the other with pleasure, then I knew I had conquered my mind.'# So T asked me 'How can you read a wearisome book with pleasure?'!! I had to explain it to her. And on top of that, I have to take on a rather serious tone, for were I to reply in the same ironic fashion, they would be totally drowned! It throws them into a terrible confusion! It

But this must be what you were thinking of, what you would like to use for your book. [[Strangely enough, some years earlier, when Satprem was writing L'Orpailleur, Sujata had a vision in which she saw him typing, and from the typewriter came, not typewritten lines, but music! ]] Yes, I would certainly like to.... It will come. Ah, it will come! It's time for me to leave now. So there you are, petit; it will come. page 329 - Mother's Agenda, volume 2, 10th Sept. , 1961 But Sujata, for example, was completely, COMPLETELY free of the whole ... (what shall I say?) what could be called the unhapp

(Regarding an old Playground Talk of December 4, 1957, in which Mother asked: "Will there be a gradual transition from what we are now to what our inner spirit aspires to become, or will there be a break, will we have to leave our present human form behind until a new form emerges - an emergence whose process we cannot foresee, of a new form without any connection to what we are today? Can we expect this body, our means of manifestation on earth until now, to be transformed progressively into something capable of expressing higher life, or will we have to abandon this form altogether in order to take on another one not yet born on earth?" Mother adds

At any rate, if a new domination is indispensable, it would be INFINITELY better for it to be by the Americans than by the Russians because what would be learned from the Russians is an UNNECESSARY lesson: it's community, the truth of community - the Indians knew it before the Russians (the Sannyasins were the ideal community); they knew it before the Russians, so they have nothing to learn there, it would be perfectly unnecessary. And to tell the truth, I am completely indifferent as to whether or not the Russians become spiritualists, because the Russians, in their soul, are mystics - they are AT LEAST (at least) as mystical as the Indians. So all their co
