July 8, 1970 (Mother looks tired. Her face is still swollen.) Difficult moments ... (long contemplation till the end) Do you have anything to ask?... (To Sujata:) And you? You know, Mother, it's very strange, three nights in a row, I dreamed of you and of food. Did you feed me? I fed you, or else I looked for food, or I prepared some. How did you feed me?... Did you give me things to eat? Or you fed me like a baby?! No, the first time, you were lying down, thirsty, there were manypeople and no one did anything.... (Mother nods her head) And I told someone to go and get some pomegranate juice.... [[The pomegranate tree is the symbol of Divi

November 5, 1970 (Mother records a message in French for All-India Radio.) We want to be messengers of light and truth. And first of all, a future of harmony is waitingto be announced to the world. The time has come for the old habit of ruling through fear to be replaced with the rule of love. Page 367

June 17, 1970 (Mother listens to a few extracts from Sri Aurobindo for the August issue of the Bulletin.) "Certainly, when the Supramental does touch earthwith a sufficient force to dig itself into the earth consciousness, there will be no more chance of any success or survival for the Asuric Maya." 18 October 1934 On Himself, 26.472 This is very good.... It's magnificent! The "Asuric Maya," is it the whole present Falsehood? Page 234 Yes. Right now you feel ... (gesture of struggling). It's a truly extraordinary moment ... but not exactly very pleasant! Things resist as they can. (Satprem reads another text) "All these good people lam

May 2, 1970 I have something for you ... (Mother points to a written note). It was two or three days ago, it came imperatively like that, in connection with some business. They have gatherings in Auroville, at "Aspiration"; I think it's meditations, or something of the sort, I don't know. One of them came and put my photo; so another rushed to his room and came back with a cross!... And he said, "Well, if you put a photo of Mother, I'll put my cross." They told me that story. They told me, because the one who put the cross had come to see me with the others (they come once a week, a few of them, four or five), but I didn't know. He came and sat in front of me.... I found him a rather inqu

July 4, 1970 I wondered if we couldn't add to the "Notes" what you said lasttime about this psychic being that will become the supramental being? What do you say? I say it's important! Yes!... I mean about the effect [on people].... I am afraid everyone will suddenly ... have a psychic being! (general laughter) Oh, Mother, you're priceless! (Mother laughs) Never mind!... It's all right.... It'll cause a stir *** (Then Mother listens to a few extracts from Sri Aurobindo for the August Bulletin.) The conception of the Divine as an external omnipotentPower who has "created" the world and governs it like an absolute and arbitrary monarch - the Chri

October 3, 1970 (Mother gives Satprem a calendar notepad, then a felt pen.) What color is it? It's violet. The violet of power. (Mother looks in vain for a green pencil for Sujata and finally gives her a blue one) Do you have something? (Mother goes into a long contemplation. Her breathing is better, becomes peaceful, but now and then there are involuntary movements of the left leg and the shoulders, especially the right shoulder.) Do you have anything? Is there anything new? (Mother shakes her head and plunges in again) Do you really have nothing to read me? If you. like, I could read you my new book. ... [[On the Way to Superman

August 5, 1970 (This conversation was to be the last before a serious ordeal which once again took the form of a month-long "illness." Let us note that on August 6, as if coincidentally, Mother's faithful attendant, Vasudha, was to leave for Bombay to be operated on for cancer. She was the last element Mother could rely on among those physically close to her. Henceforth, Mother would be alone with her "bodyguard" and her doctor. On the same August 6, she got a cold and fever.) Funds have suddenly fallen flat, there's nothing left! I am expecting money, but it's not coming (money that should have come a month back). I hadn't reached this condition in a long time.... (

March 7, 1970 I wanted to tell you first that Nolini had a very interesting experience. That was yesterday. He hadn't been well for the past day or two: he had spells of dizziness, could hardly walk, anyway rather miserable. Then, suddenly (he had to go to the bathroom and had to walk, but his steps weren't even steady), suddenly there came into him, "All this is because your physical consciousness doesn't have trust: it doesn't believe, doesn't have trust." Then, ALL AT ONCE, he felt something as if seizing him, and everything went away! He was perfectly fine, and it remained like that. He knew very well that in his physical consciousness there was doubt and all the old Page 93

1970 The World is preparing for a big change. Will you help? (Later, Mother commented on this message thus:) Mother That big change is the emergence upon earth of a new race which will be to man what man is to the animal. That big change is the emergence upon earth of a new race which will be to man what man is to the animal. The consciousness of that new race is already at work on the earth to enlighten all those who are capable of receiving and listening to it. Page 15

September 12, 1970 (Mother gives "Transformation" flowers.) You and Satprem ... I am not allowed to take salt (Mother gives Satprem soup packets), it seems that this difficulty [in the left eye] comes from eating too much salt.... What do you have to say? Are you better, Mother? Yes, a little. It's a little better. It's not yet ... (Mother shakes her head). But I'd like to drink a few drops of water, because ... (Sujata goes and asks for water) Only, I can't eat really yet. It's better, and last night, the second part of the night, was relatively better, that is to say, without constant pains. (Mother drinks, or rather tries to drink a few drops of
