 <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know very well
\nwhat attitude to take. I may however simply put into a question the problem
\nthat is troubling me: is everything directed? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

You know, my
\nchild, more<\/i> and more<\/i> and in an absolute way, I see<\/i>
\n\u2013 I see<\/i> \u2013 yes, I see, I feel: everything<\/i> has been decided. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything decided. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

And
\neverything has its reason for existence, which eludes us because our vision is
\nnot wide enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

And you understand, life, existence, indeed the world itself would
\nhave no sense<\/i> if it were otherwise.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes<\/span><\/i>. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is… it
\nis a kind of absolute conviction. And I see it. Yes, it is a thing I see. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to say it?… I am now paying for this conviction ! The body
\nhas difficult moments, really difficult moments in its transference of
\nauthority (what I call \u201ctransference\u201d) and so, seen with the ordinary vision,
\nthat would be senseless because difficulties seem to increase with what might
\nbe called \u201cconversion\u201d; but… to the true vision, when one is within the true
\nvision, it is the remnant of Falsehood which is seen as the cause of all ailing
\n(that which is still a mixed thing). And it is so even quite materially
\n(morally this has been conquered long ago: desires disappearing, all troubles
\ndisappear; they are replaced by a smile constant and wholly sincere \u2013 not
\nmade-to-order or with an effort, but natural and spontaneous), I mean to say
\nphysically, materially: illness and trouble and all that. It is the same thing.
\nIt is the same thing, only… you are less ready, Matter
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 221<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

is slower to
\ntransform itself, so there is more resistance. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the only solution, at every moment and in all cases, is (gesture of self-giving<\/i>): \u201cWhat Thou willest<\/span>\u201d, that is to say, the abolition of preference and
\ndesire. Even the preference for not suffering. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

But what is difficult to
\nunderstand is whether this Consciousness… one understands easily that it
\ngoverns all in the vast and in the eternal, but does it govern all in all the
\nsmall details, it is that… <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In the
\nmicroscopic.  <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the microscopic<\/span><\/i>… <\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/span><\/p>\n

And it is
\nexactly what I was seeing, I understand why. The problem was there this
\nmorning: the individual consciousness, even when it is very wide, is not able
\nto realise, that is to say, understand concretely, that it is possible to
\nbecome conscious of all at the same time. For it is not of that kind. It has
\njust the difficulty of understanding that the<\/i>
\nConsciousness is conscious of all<\/i> at
\nthe same time, all together, in its totality and in the smallest detail.
\nThat… <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it is difficult …
\nbut it is reassuring<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Ah! That
\nmakes you very quiet, very quiet…. I told you the other day that the body has
\nhad this experience of dying without dying, and the experience enabled the body
\nto say: \u201cGood, it is well and good,\u201d to accept without… (how to say it?)
\nwithout \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>to adhere<\/i>. And then, it is gone. All the old illusion of disappearance
\nwith the dissolution of the body \u2013 that is not there since long, and now the
\nbody itself is completely convinced that even if it were thus scattered, that
\nwould enlarge its field of consciousness… I do not know how to explain,
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 222<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

for the
\nsense of the personal and the necessity of the personal for the consciousness
\nhas disappeared. <\/span><\/p>\n

And I see very well that the body is quite aware that it is only because
\nof its resistance \u2013 its resistance to Truth \u2013 that it can suffer. Wherever
\nthere is a complete adhesion, suffering disappears immediately. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

But it is the same thing for countries and states: it is the same change-over
\nof authority. Instead of personal authorities, there is going to be a divine
\nauthority, and this very change of authority is creating the unspeakable chaos
\nin which men live now \u2013 because of the resistance. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The more a part of the being (whatever it is) approaches the time
\nfor transition, that is to say, the more it is ready for this transition, the
\nmore it grows in sensitivity. And so, at the time when one is able to go beyond
\nthe stage of problems and see with the universal vision, the problems acquire
\nfor the personal sensitivity a very sharp acuteness. This I had noticed before;
\nnow it is reproduced in the case of the body. It gains a sensitivity that is…
\nwell, terrifying. People who do not know why it is so are truly frightened….
\nThe possibility of illness, of… And it is the same thing for problems. Only,
\nfor those who know<\/i> and have
\nunderstood, it is the occasion for making the final progress, to do this (Mother opens her hands upward<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

In essence, that which still has the illusion of being something
\nseparate must dissolve. That must tell itself: \u201cIt does not concern me, I do
\nnot exist.” This is the best attitude that one can take. Then… it is taken
\nup in the Great Universal Rhythm.

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nMother
\nbegan this conversation by referring to some of <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n


\nSri Aurobindo’s Thoughts and Aphorisms.<\/i> The aphorisms,
\n<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n


\nwith Mother’s written comments upon them, are printed below.
\n<\/font> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

383 \u2013 Machinery is
\nnecessary to modern humanity because of our incurable barbarism. If we must
\nencase ourselves in a bewildering multitude of comforts and trappings, we must needs
\ndo without Art and its methods; for to dispense with simplicity and freedom is
\nto dispense with beauty. The luxury of our ancestors was rich and even gorgeous,
\nbut never encumbered. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

384 \u2013 I cannot give to
\nthe barbarous comfort and encumbered ostentation of European life the name of
\ncivilisation. Men who are not free in their souls and nobly rhythmical in their
\nappointments are not civilised. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

385 \u2013 Art in modern
\ntimes and under European influence has become an excrescence upon life or an
\nunnecessary menial; it should have been its chief steward and indispensable
\narranger<\/span><\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

So long as
\nthe mind governs life with the presumptuous certitude that it knows, how can
\nthe reign of the Divine be established?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n12 March 1970<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

386 \u2013 Disease is
\nneedlessly prolonged and ends in death oftener than is inevitable, because the
\nmind of the patient supports and dwells upon the disease of his body. <\/span><\/i>
\n
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 224<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

How absolutely
\ntrue! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

387 \u2013 Medical Science
\nhas been more a curse to mankind than a blessing. It has broken the force of
\nepidemics and unveiled a marvellous surgery; but, also, it has weakened the
\nnatural health of man and multiplied individual diseases; it has implanted fear
\nand dependence in the mind and body; it has taught our health to repose not on
\nnatural soundness but a rickety and distasteful crutch compact from the mineral
\nand vegetable kingdoms.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

388 – The doctor aims a
\ndrug at a disease; sometimes it hits, sometimes misses. The misses are left out
\nof account, the hits treasured up, reckoned and systematised into a science. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is
\nwonderful. Wonderful! <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

389 – We laugh at the
\nsavage for his faith in the medicine man; but how are the civilised less
\nsuperstitious who have faith in the doctors? The savage finds that when a
\ncertain incantation is repeated, he often recovers from a certain disease; he
\nbelieves. The civilised patient finds that when he doses himself according to a
\ncertain prescription, he often recovers from a certain disease; he believes.
\nWhere is the difference?\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

One could
\nsay in conclusion that it is the faith of the patient which gives the remedy
\nits power to heal. <\/span><\/p>\n

If men had an absolute faith in the healing power of Grace, they would
\nperhaps avoid many illnesses.\u00b9<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00b9 The
\nMother, On Thoughts and Aphorisms, Cent. Vol. 10, pp. 323-25.<\/font> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 225<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

You have
\nseen the last aphorisms?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, on diseases, doctors….
\nBut there, in an aphorism, Sri Aurobindo gives just a small sentence which I
\nfind wonderful, where he says: \u201cMachinery is necessary to modern humanity because
\nof our incurable barbarism.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(Mother shakes her head and remains silent
\nfor a long time.<\/i>) Today I received the news that X has passed away. She had
\ngone through a serious operation, she recovered, came back home, she wrote to
\nme saying, \u201cI am getting better and better” … and then, passed away. I got
\nthe news today itself. It is like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was the same with Z, the same thing, a relapse. And it looks so
\nmuch like… it is the effort against, yes, what Sri Aurobindo calls barbarism
\n(Mother makes a gesture which takes in
\nthe whole earth atmosphere<\/i>). This seems to be… I do not know if it is
\nrefusal or an incapacity to come out of the mental construction. And the action
\nof this Consciousness… (how to say it?) is almost pitiless in order to show
\nto what extent the whole mental construction is false \u2013 everything, everything,
\neven those reactions that seem spontaneous, all that is the result of an
\nextremely complex mental construction. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it is pitiless. <\/span><\/p>\n

You are born within it and it seems so natural to feel in
\naccordance with it, to react in accordance with it, to organise<\/span>
\neverything in accordance with it, so much so that… it makes you bypass the
\nTruth. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is even in the organisation of the body itself. <\/span><\/p>\n

So the Action seems to impose itself with an extraordinary force
\nand that seems (seems to us) pitiless (Mother
\nstrikes her fist into Matter<\/i>), so that the lesson might be learnt. <\/span><\/p>\n

I remembered the time when Sri Aurobindo was there….\u00a0 <\/span>Well, the inner part of the being was in a
\nconsciousness that
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 226<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

felt, that
\nsaw things according to the higher consciousness: altogether different; and
\nthen, just when Sri Aurobindo fell ill and when there were all those things,
\nfirst of all the accident (he broke his thigh)… then the body<\/i>, the body was saying all the time: \u201cThese are dreams, these
\nare dreams, this is not for us; for us, the body, it is like that” (gesture indicating under the earth<\/i>)….
\nIt was frightful !… And all that is gone. It is gone completely after so many
\nyears, so many years of effort, it is gone; and the body itself felt the divine
\nPresence, it had the impression that… all must necessarily change. And then,
\nsome days ago this formation that had left (which is an earthly formation, of
\nall humanity, that is to say, of those who had the vision, the perception, even
\nonly the aspiration for the higher Truth \u2013\u00a0
\n<\/span>when they come back to the Fact, they stand before this terribly painful
\nthing, this ceaseless negation of all circumstances), this formation from which
\nthe body had been completely liberated has come back. It has come back, but…
\nwhen it came back, when the body saw that, it saw it as one sees a falsehood.
\nAnd I understood how much the body had changed, because when it saw that, it
\nhad the impression… it looked at that with a smile and the impression, ah!
\nthat it was an old formation with no truth in it any more. And this was an
\nextraordinary experience: that, the time for that has ended \u2013 the time for that
\nhas ended. And I know that this Pressure of the Consciousness is a pressure so
\nthat things as they were \u2013 so miserable, so small, so obscure, so… inescapable
\nas well, apparently \u2013 all that is gone behind (Mother makes a gesture over her shoulders<\/i>); it is a past that has
\npassed. So I really saw \u2013 I saw, I understood \u2013 that the work of this
\nConsciousness (which is without pity, it does not care whether the thing is
\ndifficult or not, probably it does not even care much for apparent ravages) is
\nso that the normal condition should no longer be a thing so heavy, so obscure,
\nand so ugly \u2013 so low \u2013 and that it should be the dawn… something breaking out
\non the horizon: a new consciousness \u2013 something more true, more luminous.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 227<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

What Sri Aurobindo says here of diseases is just that: the force
\nof habit and of all its constructions and all that appears inescapable and
\nirrevocable in diseases, all that, it is as though experiences were multiplied
\nin order to show… in order that one might learn that it is simply a question
\nof attitude, yes, attitude, of going beyond, going beyond this mental prison in
\nwhich humanity has shut itself and of… breathing up above.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And it is the experience of the body. Before, those who had inner
\nexperiences used to say, \u201cYes, up there it is so, but here…\u201d Now the \u201cbut
\nhere\u201d very soon will no longer be. This is the conquest that is being done,
\nthis tremendous change: that physical life must be governed by the higher
\nconsciousness and not by the mental world. It is a change over of authority….
\nIt is difficult. It is hard. It is painful. Naturally there is breakage, but…
\nBut truly one can see \u2013 one can see. And that is the real change<\/i>, it is that which will enable the new Consciousness to
\nexpress itself. And the body is learning, learning its lesson \u2013 all bodies, all
\nbodies. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the old division made by the mind: up above, it is quite all
\nright, you may have all the experiences and everything is luminous, wonderful;
\nhere, nothing to be done. And the feeling that when one is born, still one is
\nborn in the world where nothing can be done. That explains, moreover, why all
\nthose who had not foreseen the possibility that things could be otherwise, used
\nto say, \u201cBetter to depart and then…\u201d All that has become so clear. But that
\nchange, the fact that it is no longer inevitable, that is the great Victory: it
\nis no longer<\/i> inevitable. One feels \u2013
\none feels, one sees \u2013 and the body itself has had the experience that soon here
\nalso it can be more true. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is, there is truly something changed in the world. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n    Page – 228<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

Naturally, it will take some time before it is really established.
\nThere, it is battle. From all sides, on all levels there is an assault of
\nthings that come to say externally, \u201cNothing has been changed\u201d \u2013 but it is not
\ntrue. It is not true, the body knows that it is not true. And now it knows, it
\nknows in what direction. <\/span><\/p>\n

And what Sri Aurobindo has written in these aphorisms, just what I
\nam looking at now, is so prophetic ! It was so much the vision of the True
\nThing. So prophetic. <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

And I see now, I see how his departure and his work so… so vast,
\nyes, and so constant, in the subtle physical, how much, how much it has helped
\n! How much it has (Mother makes a gesture
\nof kneading Matter<\/i>) helped to prepare things, to change the physical
\nstructure. <\/span><\/p>\n

All the experiences that others have had, which were in order to
\ncome in contact with the higher worlds, left here below the physical as it
\nis…. How to say it? From the beginning of my life till Sri Aurobindo’s
\ndeparture, I was in the consciousness that one can go up, one can know, one can
\nhave all the experiences (indeed, one did have them), but when one came back
\ninto this body… it was the old mental laws, for-mi-da-ble<\/span>,
\nwhich ruled things. And then, all these years have been years of preparation \u2013
\npreparation \u2013 liberation and preparation, and these days now it has been… ah!
\nthe physical<\/i> recognition, made by the
\nbody, that it has changed. <\/span><\/p>\n

It has to be \u201cworked out\u201d, as it is said, it has to be realised in
\nall the details, but the change is done<\/i>
\n\u2013 the change is done. <\/span><\/p>\n

That is to say, the material conditions elaborated by the mind, fixed<\/i> by it (Mother closes her two fists<\/i>), that appeared to be inevitable to
\nsuch an extent that those who had a living experience of the higher worlds
\nthought that one must flee from the world, give up this material world if one wanted
\nto live in <\/span>
\n
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 229<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

the truth
\n(that is the basis of all these theories and faiths); but now it is no longer
\nlike that. The physical is capable of receiving the higher Light, the Truth,
\nthe true Consciousness and of manifesting<\/i>
\nit. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is not easy, it needs endurance and will, but a day will come
\nwhen this will be quite natural. It is just, just the door opened \u2013 that is
\nall, now one must go on. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, what was established clings and struggles desperately. That
\nis the cause of all the trouble (gesture
\nindicating the earthly atmosphere<\/i>) \u2013 it has lost the game. It has lost the
\ngame.  <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It took… a little more than a year for this Consciousness\u00b9 to
\nwin this victory. And still, naturally, it is not visible except to those who
\nhave the inner vision, but… but it is done. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

It was this, the work that Sri Aurobindo had given me. Now I
\nunderstand. <\/span><\/p>\n

But it is as if from all sides \u2013 all sides\u00a0 <\/span>these forces, these powers of the mind rose
\nup in protest\u00a0 <\/span>in violent protest \u2013 to
\nimpose their old laws: \u201cBut it was always so!\u201d… It is finished, however. It
\nwill not be always so. There! <\/span>
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Something of this battle had been going on in this body these last
\ndays…. It was really very interesting…. There was outside, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00b9 The
\nsuperman consciousness, which manifested on <\/font> <\/span>1 January 1969<\/span> (see the January 1969 conversations in
\nthis volume).<\/span><\/font> <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 230<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

coming from outside,
\nan attempt to submit the body to experiences in order to compel it to
\nrecognise: \u201cNo, what has always been will always be; you may try, but it is an
\nillusion”, and so something happened, quite a little disorganisation<\/span>
\nin the body, and then the body answered with its attitude: a peace like this (gesture of immobility<\/i>), and its attitude
\n(gesture of hands open<\/i>): \u201cIt is as
\nThou willest<\/span>, Lord, as Thou willest<\/span>.”…
\nLike a flash everything disappears ! And this has happened several times, at
\nleast a dozen times in a day. Then \u2013 then the body begins to feel: \u201cThere it
\nis!\u201d… It has this delight, this delight of… having lived the Marvel. It is
\nnot as it was, it is no more<\/i> as it
\nwas \u2013 it is no more as it was. <\/span><\/p>\n

One has still to fight on, one must have patience, courage, will,
\nconfidence \u2013 but it is no more \u201clike that\u201d; it is the old thing that seeks to
\ncling \u2013\u00a0 <\/span>hideous ! hideous. But… it is
\nno more like that, no more like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

And this also: how far, how far will the body be able to go? This
\nalso, it is… perfectly peaceful and happy: it is \u201cWhat Thou willest<\/span>.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

All the rest appears so old, so old, like something… belonging
\nto a dead past \u2013 that seeks to resuscitate itself, but cannot any more. <\/span><\/p>\n

And all, all, all the circumstances are as catastrophic as
\npossible \u2013 the worries and complications and difficulties, all, all have risen
\nup violently, like wild beasts, but… it is finished. The body knows<\/i> that all this is finished. Perhaps
\nit will take centuries, but it is finished. For it to disappear, that may take
\ncenturies, but now it is finished. <\/span><\/p>\n

This realisation, altogether concrete and absolute, that one<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage – 231<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

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

could have
\nonly when one came out of Matter (Mother
\nlowers a finger<\/i>): it is sure, it is sure and certain one will have it even
\nhere. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the fourteenth month since the Consciousness came \u2013
\nfourteenth month, twice seven. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

(Silence<\/i>) <\/span><\/p>\n

This is the
\nfourteenth? <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, the fourteenth. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Then, it is
