January 19, 1972 Last time I told you I was looking for the twelve attributes (Mother takes out a sheet of paper). Here they are, someone found this. Sincerity Humility Gratitude Perseverance Aspiration Receptivity Progress Courage Goodness Generosity Equanimity Peace The first eight concern the attitude towards the Divine, and the last four towards humanity. And we also found a text from Sri Aurobindo (with a colored chart of the twelve petals): Centre and four powers, white. The twelve all of different color in three groups: top group red, passing to orange towards yel

M o t h e r's   A g e n d a   1972-03-29 March 29, 1972 (That same day, after Malraux, the conversation took a com pletely different turn, which is why we publish it separately,  although under the same date.) Page 109 I had a feeling I had something to give you.... Did they give you a tape-recording? ... I had said something to R. and to Sujata. Is it good? Yes, Mother, yes, it was good! We could perhaps publish it? It  was about the vision you had of your own transitional body. I simply wanted to make sure you had received it. [[Actually, Satprem was only given the recording with Sujata, not the other one. ]] Yes, Mother, it's extremely interesting.... Did you see anything

May 15, 1973 KRISHNA IN GOLD (A vision of Sujata's on the afternoon of May 15) (original English) A place similar to the Playground. A few people, here and there, are talking or going about. I am standing somewhere in the middle of the ground, in front of Mother's door. From the main gate enters a vehicle - half-cart half-cab - drawn by two bullocks. It comes to a stop a few feet away from me. The driver makes the bullocks kneel down. Out steps a gentleman. The cart is driven away. The gentleman is dressed in white, Indian-fashion (dhoti, punjabi). He is round-faced and fair-skinned. Reminds me of a Zamindar [landlord] from the North. In fact he is

May 6, 1972 (Mother sits "looking") What do you see? (silence) I think I already told you, there's a kind of golden Force pressing down (gesture); it has no material substantiality, and yet it feels terribly heavy.... Yes, yes. ... It presses down on Matter, to force it, to compel it to turn INWARDLY to the Divine - not an external flight (pointing above) Page 175 but inwardly turning to the Divine. And the apparent outcome seems to be inevitable catastrophes. But along with this sense of inevitable catastrophe, there come solutions to situations or events that look simply miraculous. As if both extremes were becoming more extreme: the good getting better and the

February 3, 1973 Time is no longer the same.... And I can't eat anymore. Well.... What's going to happen, I don't know. Very good things! (Mother laughs and takes Satprem's hands) You're sweet. But I'm sure, Mother! Of course! So am I! (laughter) (Mother shuts her eyes, and feels with her hand the flowers near her) What is this one? "Grace," Mother.... Then it's for you. Oh, that.... (Mother opens her hands upwards and plunges in) I can't speak. Can't speak anymore, can't eat anymore.... And time goes by like lightning. (Mother plunges in again) Page 359

April 10, 1973 Pranab declares to P.B., one of the Ashram's trustees, "Get readyfor Mother's departure." P.B. has Satprem asked what it means. Page 398

December 27, 1972 (Champaklal hands Satprem the French and English texts of the Christmas message so Mother can put it in her own handwriting.) (Satprem.:) You've put: We want to show to the world that man can become a true servitor of the Divine. Who will collaborate in all sincerity ? (Champaklal, in English:) Mother, shall I give you paper?Mother will write now? To send to Press? (Satprem:) Is it necessary? But I can't write.... (Champaklal is upset) Page 331 ... I'd better write it. (Mother spends twenty minutes copying the message by hand, then she holds out her hands to Satprem and plunges in) Page 332

September 9, 1972 (This morning, someone told Mother he saw her in his sleep, and she was walking along in the street.) I'll walk along in the street when I am hundred years old. (Mother sits looking at Satprem, smiling, for more than fifteen minutes.) Nothing to ask? I very much felt Sri Aurobindo. Aah! (Mother plunges in) Page 283

February 17, 1973 (Mother remains absorbed for a long time, then shakes her head .... ) Oh! ... I have to cope with everything that contradicts the Divine in the past and the present, and it's.... In this body. I mean, all the past is surging up from the subconscient, and now even everything that was repressed.... It isn't something I "feel" or "experience," but it's a perception. The perception ... yes, of how all our notions of good and evil, right and wrong are futile for the Divine vision, absolutely futile - unreal. All human notions are so narrow and limited, so partial and tinged with moral preferences. As if I were being shown everything in the consciousness that o

August 9, 1972 (A news item originating from Boulder, Colorado, and dated August 8, reports a solar flare covering over 2.8 billion square miles of the sun's surface. Within an hour of the eruption, the effect was felt on earth, causing a magnetic storm that seriously disrupted communications in many parts of the world In terms of magnitude, the current sunspots are the greatest ever recorded since at least 1964 [Indian Express, August 91.) Did you hear about the explosions on the sun? Yes. They say it's falling to the earth ... Ah? ... and it's going to affect humans. Did you hear that? I didn't hear it was falling to the earth. They say it w
