(This concerns a serious and devoted person who works at the<\/i>
Louvre in Paris, restoring old paintings. She writes to Satprem <\/i>
\n
referring to a letter he received from Andre Gide in 1946,
\nwhen<\/i>
he was traveling in Egypt on his way to India:
\n"I persuade<\/i>
myself that God does not yet exist and
\nthat we must obtain<\/i>
him." And she adds, "Thus, from
\nPartial truths to partial<\/i>
truths, we progress
\ntowards the Truth, before which the whole<\/i>
being can
\nonly surrender entirely. Only at that point does True<\/i>
Life
\nbegin, for we have at last found what the heart, deep<\/i>
down,
\nwas unknowingly always seeking." And she asks <\/i>
\n
Mother, "Wouldn’t it be better to live in the Ashram to help
\nthe <\/i>
\n
Work more effectively?")<\/i>
\n
I really think she should stay in France.
\n
Coming here is difficult.
\n
Did you read what Sri Aurobindo said about the Ashram? He said that the Ashram symbolized all the difficulties to be resolved, so after a while people coming from the outside are beset with difficulties instead of finding help. It’s much better for her to stay where she is.
\n
But you can assure her that I FEEL her very well, and that I am with her, my help is very consciously with her.
