\n4 June 1969 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I looked into the matter a great deal after you left me last time,
\nthe whole day…. There is some sense that that\u00b9 would be a wonderful solution.
\nWhen you said it, something became concrete all of a sudden. But there was no personal
\nsense within… the body has none at all, at all, no ambition or desire
\nwhatsoever or even aspiration to become that, but there was only a kind of
\ndelight in the possibility of \u201cthat” being done; if it were done, it matters
\nnot who or where or how: only let that be done. And I looked at it with very,
\nvery close attention; not for a moment was there the idea: \u201cIt must be this” (Mother pinches her skin with her fingers<\/i>),
\nyou understand? It was: \u201cLet there be<\/i>
\nthis incarnation, this manifestation” \u2013 not to choose one person or another,
\none place or another, no, nothing of that kind existed: it was the thing in
\nitself which was like a wonderful solution. And so, that’s all. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then the consciousness began to observe: if there is nothing
\nin this body which \u201caspired” to be that, it proves that this is not its work.
\nThen there came that extraordinary Smile (I do not know how to express it), it
\nwas there, it passed and said… (one could translate it in quite a childlike
\nmanner): \u201cIt is not your business!” And that’s all. And then it was finished,
\nI was not busy with it any more. \u201cNot your business” in the sense: this does
\nnot concern you; whether it is this or that or that, it is not your business.
\nThat is all. <\/span><\/p>\n

But what has become its business \u2013 in such an intense way that it
\ncannot be expressed \u2013 is: \u201cThou, Thou, Thou, Thou.” No word can translate it:
\nthe Divine, to use one word. It is everything. For everything \u2013 to eat: the
\nDivine; to sleep: the Divine; to suffer: the Divine… Like that (Mother points both hands upward<\/i>). With a
\nkind of stability, of immobility. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n16 August 1969 <\/a> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Is it an error to make a
\nclean sweep of everything, to make it all empty? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

O no! O no! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

I have often asked myself
\nwhether I was wrong in my way of proceeding. My spontaneous way of proceeding
\nis to sweep away everything, to make it all completely empty and then to turn
\ntowards something up above and to keep absolutely silent and immobile. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, that is
\nthe best<\/i> means, nothing can be
\nbetter. <\/span><\/p>\n

That is what I am doing all the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

If one could only do that!… From all sides it comes like that (gesture as of waves attacking<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

A little later. About the world situation.
\n<\/font>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I am fully convinced that the confusion is there to teach
\nus how to live from day to day, that is to say, not to be preoccupied with what
\nmay happen, what will happen, just to occupy oneself day by day with doing what
\none has to do. All thinkings<\/span>, pre-plannings<\/span>,
\narrangements and all that, are very favourable to much disorder. <\/span><\/p>\n

To live almost minute by minute, to be like that (gesture upward<\/i>), attentive only to the
\nthing that is to be done at the moment, and then to let the All-Consciousness decide….
\nWe can never know things even with the widest vision: we can know things only very<\/i> partially \u2013 very partially. So our
\nattention is drawn this way and that, and still other things are there. By
\ngiving great importance to things dangerous and harmful, you only add strength
\nto them.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 184<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

(Mother goes into
\ncontemplation.<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

When you are assailed by the vision of such disorder and
\nconfusion, you have to do only one thing, to enter into the consciousness where
\nyou see only one<\/i> Being, one<\/i> Consciousness, one<\/i> Power \u2013 there is only a single Unity \u2013 and all this is taking
\nplace within this Unity. And all our insignificant visions and knowings<\/span> and judgments and… all that is mere nothing, it
\nis microscopic in comparison with the Consciousness presiding over All.
\nTherefore, if one had the least sense of the reason why separate
\nindividualities existed, one would see that it was only for allowing
\naspiration, the existence of aspiration, of this movement of self-giving and
\nsurrender, trust and faith<\/i>. And it is
\nthis that is the very reason why individuals were built up; and then, for you
\nto become that in all sincerity and intensity… it is all that is needed. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is all that is needed, it is the only <\/i>thing, the only thing that stays; all the rest… phantasmagoria.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And it is the only thing valid in every case: when you want to do
\na thing, when you cannot do a thing, when you move, when the body is no more
\nable to move… in every,<\/i> every case,
\nthat only, only that: to come in conscious contact with the Supreme
\nConsciousness, to be united with it; and… to wait. There ! <\/span><\/p>\n

It is then that you receive the exact indication of what you ought
\nto do at each minute \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>to do or not to
\ndo, to act or to be stone still. That is all. And even to be or not to be. That
\nis the only solution. More and more, more and more, the certitude is there:
\nthis is the only solution. All the rest is mere childishness. <\/span><\/p>\n

And all activities, all possibilities can be made use of in a
\nnatural way \u2013 it eliminates all arbitrary personal choice. All possibilities
\nare there, all, all, all are there. All perceptions are there and all knowledge
\n\u2013 only the personal arbitrariness has been eliminated. And this personal
\narbitrariness is so<\/i> childish, <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 185<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>so childish… a stupidity, a stupidity full
\nof ignorance. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I feel, I feel like that (Mother
\nfeels the air<\/i>) this agitation, oh! this whirl in the atmosphere! <\/span><\/p>\n

Poor humanity. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

(Long silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

All that is for teaching the world to turn back to the Lord in its
\nconsciousness…. Why? It is for this that there has been a creation? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

But I have a practical
\nproblem. Each time I form this emptiness, in order precisely to join myself up
\nthere… with this something, I feel that I have never had an accurate answer. It
\nis such a massive Power that is there, so solid and then<\/span><\/i>… <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Ah! You
\nnever had an answer? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is always the same
\nthing, this Power which is there, impassive<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Well! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, for example,
\nduring the meditation, it was the same thing \u2013 it is always the same thing \u2013
\nthis Thing, massive, powerful, which is there but which does not want to say
\nanything. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

But don’t
\nyou have the sense of a… I do not know how to explain, because it is not ease
\nnor… I do not know how to explain, it is something which… no words can tell
\nit, but it leaves you absolutely satisfied. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 186<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

One is well. <\/span><\/i>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Ah! <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, one is well, that
\nis certain. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Ah! So it’s
\nall right, it is that. Everything, everything else is useless. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, but how to get the true,
\nthe correct impulse? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

But it lies
\nunderneath that state. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is underneath? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is
\nunderneath. <\/span><\/p>\n

That state… I know, by experience, that it is the state in which
\none can change the world. One becomes a sort of instrument \u2013 that is even
\nunconscious of being an instrument \u2013 but which serves (gesture showing the flow of forces through the instrument<\/i>) to
\nproject the forces (gesture in all
\ndirections radiating from the instrument as the centre<\/i>). The brain is
\naltogether, altogether too small, is it not? Even when it is very big, it is
\ntoo small to be capable of understanding; that is why there is this blank in
\nthe mind and the thing happens. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then you perceive that with regard to the needs of the little
\nlife you represent, it automatically comes to pass and you automatically do at
\nevery minute just what you have to do without… without calculating, without
\nspeculating, without deciding, nothing; it is like this (same gesture of flow through the instrument<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

I had the personal experience then, that if something is upset in
\nthe body (a pain, a discomfort or something that does not function properly),
\nwhen you have gone through that state, it leaves you \u2013 it goes away,
\ndisappears. Acute pains even disappeared <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 187<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>completely, one does not know how ! Ah ! gone
\n\u2013 like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then, in the contact with people and in the contact with the
\nthings of life, a childlike simplicity. That is to say, one does things
\nwithout… particularly without speculating. <\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it is like that. I try to be always in the state which you
\nare describing, like that, whatever
\nhappens<\/i>; and always \u2013 always, without exception \u2013 if there is anything to
\nbe done, I am made to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot say anything else. It is so. <\/span><\/p>\n

I noticed that I am made to act differently at different moments
\nwith different people, and even the experience is very different \u2013 all that,
\nthe same thing, the same way, like that (gesture
\nturned upward, without movement<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

Only, one must arrive at a state where there is naturally no more
\npreference nor desire nor repulsion nor attraction, nothing \u2013 all that is gone.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

And above all, above all, no fear \u2013 particularly. That is the most
\nessential of all things. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n1 October 1969 <\/a> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

About Mother’s talk of 26 August 1953 on
\nLove<\/font><\/span>. <\/span><\/font> <\/p>\n

 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Mother, this power of
\nLove that comes \u2013 it comes at times, one feels, one loves truly \u2013 but why is
\none not able to keep it constantly? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

One must
\nhave the power to keep it ! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

I too think one must,
\nbut one is not able to keep it<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

My child…
\nit is here constantly, constantly, whatever the body may be doing\u00a0 <\/span>\u2013 whether seeing people or being busy with
\nitself or sleeping \u2013 it is always, always there, conscious, vibrant. I say, \u201cIt
\nis possible”; it is a fact. Only, what is needed… what prevents it generally
\nis that the physical consciousness in most men is very obscure; it is made only
\nof the most material needs, desires, reactions. But what is needed is to awaken
\nin the cells the love for the Divine; it is always so, all the time, and it
\ndoes not change, does not change any more. It is even much more<\/i> constant than any mental or vital movement; it is like
\nthis (Mother closes both her fists<\/i>),
\nit does not move. The cells are all the while like this, in a state of love for
\nthe Divine. What is most remarkable in the physical is that once it has learnt
\na thing it never forgets it. The cells, once they have learnt it, this
\nself-giving, this offering to the Divine, this need<\/i> of self-offering, have learnt it for good; it does not flicker
\nany more. It is constant, twenty-four hours out of twenty-four, without stop
\nand day after day, and there is no change. Even if there be something that is
\nnot all right (either a pain or something else), the first movement, yes, it is
\nthat, it is to offer itself, give itself \u2013 spontaneously. The higher
\nconsciousness does not intervene. It is spontaneous, it is the consciousness
\ncontained in the cells. It<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 189<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

is the vital
\nand the mental that are unstable in that way (gesture of zigzagging<\/i>). Particularly, particularly it is the vital
\nthat is interested in all sorts of things. Naturally, the two are
\ninterdependent. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ego must be abolished, the rule<\/i>
\nof the ego must be abolished. But generally people believe that it is not
\npossible to abolish the physical ego; not only is it possible, it has been done<\/i>. And the body continues, continues
\nto walk about, it is not gone (there was a little difficult moment \u2013 but just a
\nlittle). <\/span><\/p>\n

Now the cells are wondering how it is at all possible to continue
\nto exist without this movement of adoration. They are like that (gesture of intense aspiration<\/i>),
\neverywhere, everywhere. It is very interesting. <\/span><\/p>\n

All these difficulties that one has with the inner development
\nwhen one is dealing with the vital and the mental, the revivals of old things
\nand all that, now here (in the body) are gone; it is not like that. <\/span>

\n18 October 1969 <\/a> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

For a perfect<\/i>
\nrealisation, the whole being must be illumined; but for the beginning of a realisation,
\nit is probably easier for a body that does not possess a very developed
\nmind…. For us, well, who have reached the maximum possibility of the mind, it
\nis through the maximum that we have gone beyond: it is only when the mind had
\nrealised its maximum that it abdicated. And this is quite all right for the
\nintegral realisation, but generally the body is too much used to obeying the
\nmind, it is not supple enough to be transformed. And that is why my mind has
\nbeen sent away…. But that is a method which others cannot be encouraged to
\nfollow. For out of ten nine would die. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The mind<\/span><\/i>? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

If the mind
\ngoes away. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You think I would die<\/span><\/i>? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The mind and
\nthe vital. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the vital, I
\nunderstand, but if you removed my mind<\/span><\/i>… <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

No, my
\nchild, I refuse to do it! (Mother laughs<\/i>)
\nIt must… it must step down. <\/span><\/p>\n

A great<\/i> passivity is
\nneeded for the Force to be able to pass through quickly and reach the body. I
\nsee that each time there is a pressure for acting upon one part of the body or
\nanother, the thing begins by an absolute passivity \u2013 which is… the
\n\u201cperfection of inertia”. You understand? It is the perfection of that which
\ninertia represents as imperfect… something that has no activity of its own.
\nIt is just the most difficult thing for those <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 191<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

who have a
\nvery well \u2013 developed mind, very difficult. Because the whole body has worked
\nall its life for being just in this state of receptivity to the mind, which
\nmakes it obedient, passive, etc., and it is that which must be abolished. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to explain?… The development through mind means a constant
\nand general awakening of the whole being, even the most material, an awakening
\nas a result of which there is also something quite opposite to sleep. And to
\nreceive the Supreme Force, one must have, on the contrary, the equivalent of
\nimmobility \u2013 the immobility of sleep, but
\nabsolutely conscious<\/i>, absolutely conscious. The body feels the difference.
\nIt feels the difference to such an extent that… for example, I stretch myself
\nin the evening and I remain like that, for hours together I remain so; and if
\nafter a time I fall into ordinary sleep, my body wakes up in a terrible anguish
\n! And then it begins again to put itself back into that state. This anguish I
\nfeel from time to time \u2013 and it goes away as soon as it gets back into the true
\nattitude, which is a state of immobility, but absolutely conscious.
\n\u201cImmobility”, I do not know how to say it…. But it is almost the opposite of
\nthe inertia in immobility. <\/span><\/p>\n

And it is that which is making me understand now the reason why
\ncreation began with inertia. And so, that state had to be rediscovered (Mother describes a big curve<\/i>) after
\nhaving gone through all the states of consciousness. And it is that which has
\ngiven us… (Mother laughs<\/i>) for us,
\nit is a fine mess ! But when it is done purposely, it is no more a mess. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

For me the difficulty
\nthat I meet very often is a need also of activity in aspiration. <\/span><\/i>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, yes.  <\/span><\/p>\n

I have the feeling that I
\nmust not stop actively aspiring. Often I could very well leave all that aside,
\nwithout stirring, but….<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 192<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Yes, but
\nthen the aspiration comes. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

I feel the need of the
\nactivity of aspiration<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it is
\nto counteract inertia. Because we still have inertia as our heritage. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

But then, in such a case
\nwhat is to be done? Should one let everything be spread out or… should one
\npersist in this active aspiration that is truly intense? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is
\ndifficult to say, because I am convinced that each one has his own way, but for
\nthis body the way is to have this active aspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

To have the active
\naspiration? Yes, but then it is no longer this immobility<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It has got
\nthe thing, it has understood the means, how to do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The two together, the
\nunion of the two? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, they
\nare together. That is what it succeeded in getting: a complete immobility and
\nan intense<\/i> aspiration. It is only
\nwhen immobility is there without the aspiration that it falls into a frightful anguish
\nwhich wakes it up immediately. It is that, an intense aspiration. And it is
\nabsolutely immobile, immobile within, as though all the cells became
\nimmobile…. It must be that. What we call intense aspiration must be the
\nsupramental vibration. It must be the divine vibration, the true divine
\nvibration. That I have said to myself often. <\/span><\/p>\n

But if, even for a single minute, the body falls into the state of
\ninertia \u2013 immobility without aspiration \u2013 it is awakened by an anguish as though
\nit were going to die ! You understand? It is to that degree. For it, immobility
\nmeans… yes, it has the
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 193<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

feeling that
\nthe highest vibration, the vibration of the true Consciousness, is so intense
\nthat it is… it is equivalent to the inertia of immobility \u2013 an intensity
\nwhich is not perceptible to us. So great is this intensity that it is, for us,
\nequivalent to inertia. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is this which is getting established. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is this which has made me understand (because now the body
\nunderstands), has made it understand the process of creation…. One might
\nalmost say that it began by a state of perfection, but unconscious, and that it
\nmust pass through this state of unconscious perfection to a state of conscious
\nperfection, and between the two is the imperfection. Words are foolish, but you
\nunderstand. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You know, the feeling is that one is on the threshold of
\nunderstanding. And it is not at all a mental understanding, not at all, not at
\nall. (One has had that, but it is nothing, nothing, it is zero.) It is an
\nunderstanding that one lives.<\/i> And
\nthat the mind cannot have, cannot. And the feeling is that only the body \u2013
\nreceptive, open, in any case partially transformed \u2013 is capable of having the
\nunderstanding. Understanding the creation, what we call creation: why and how,
\nthe two things. It is not at all a thing thought out, it is not a thing felt:
\nit is a thing lived and that is the only way of knowing…. It is a
\nconsciousness. <\/span><\/p>\n

But you know, when this understanding comes \u2013 it comes and then it
\nbecomes like this (gesture as of a
\nluminous inflation<\/i>), it comes like this and then it dwindles, and comes
\nagain and again dwindles; but when it does come, it is so obvious, so simple
\nthat one asks oneself why one was not able to know it before !<\/span><\/p>\n

Still more time is needed…. How long, I do not know. But the
\nnotion of time is also quite arbitrary. <\/span><\/p>\n

We want always to translate all our experiences into the old <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 194<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

state of
\nconsciousness and that<\/i> is the misery
\n! We think it is necessary, it is indispensable \u2013 and it is stupefying. It
\ndelays awfully.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything, everything, everything that men have said, everything
\nthey have written, everything they have taught is only a way of saying. It is
\nonly to try to make oneself understood, but that is impossible. And when one
\nthinks (Mother laughs<\/i>) how much one
\nhas fought for things that are so relative !… <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Long silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the days as they pass and at things that happen, the experience
\nof the body appears like this…. In some way, at some moments it is in the
\nconsciousness of immortality, and then, through influence (and still, from time
\nto time, through old habit) it falls back into the consciousness of mortality,
\nand that is truly… for it now to fall back into the consciousness of
\nmortality is an awful anguish; and it is only when it comes out of it, when it
\nreturns to the true consciousness, that the thing vanishes. And I understand
\nwhy there have been people, there have been Yogis who spoke of the unreality of
\nthe world; because, to the consciousness of immortality, the consciousness of
\nmortality is an unreal absurdity. It is like this (Mother passes the fingers of one hand into the fingers of the other,
\nindicating a coming and going of the two consciousnesses<\/i>). So it is like
\nthis at one moment and like that at another. And the other state, the state of
\nimmortality, is immutably peaceful, tranquil, with… like staggeringly rapid
\nwaves, so rapid that they seem immobile. It is like that \u2013nothing moves
\n(apparently) in a tremendous Movement. And then as soon as the other state
\nreturns, all the ordinary notions also return, that is to say… in fact now,
\nin the state where it is, that gives it the pain and the suffering of a falsehood.
\nBut it is still like that (same gesture<\/i><\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>of coming and going<\/span><\/i>)…. To come out of it, the only, the only effective way is just
\nto give up, surrender. It is not expressed by words, nor by ideas, nor by
\nanything; it is a state of vibration in which nothing but the Divine Vibration
\nhas any value. Then, then only, things are put back in order. <\/span><\/p>\n

But all that, as soon as one speaks of it… <\/span><\/p>\n

Note, however, that this is constant: it comes at night, it comes
\nin the morning: and then at other times when… (gesture vast, united, with a smile<\/i>) no more problems, no more
\ndifficulty, nothing. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a background (it is that particularly), a background of
\nunconscious negation which is behind everything, everything, everything, still;
\nit is still there everywhere \u2013 you eat, you breathe, you receive this
\nnegation…. It is still a colossal work to transform all that. But when one
\nis, as one might say, on \u201cthe other side” (these are not \u201csides”), but in the
\nother state, it appears so natural, so simple, that you ask yourself why it is
\nnot like that, why it appears so difficult; and then, as soon as you are on the
\nother side, it is… (Mother holds her
\nhead within her hands<\/i>). The mixture is still there, without doubt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, the ordinary state, the old state is consciously (that is
\nto say, it is a conscious perception) that of death and suffering. And then in
\nthe other state, death and suffering appear as things absolutely… unreal.
\nThere ! <\/span><\/p>\n

Here, take it (Mother gives
\na flower of transformation<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

No impatience. <\/span><\/p>\n

A trustful patience. <\/span><\/p>\n

In truth, everything is for each one as good as it can be. All the
\ntime it is the old movements that get impatient…. That is to say, when one
\nsees the all, one finds that certainly impatience has been created to
\ncounteract inertia \u2013 but now it is done with, that time has gone.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
