December 6, 1972<\/H3>
\n

(The night of the 5th, a violent cyclone struck Pondicherry. At <\/i>
\n

Nandanam, in the middle of the devastated garden, a white hi<\/i>

biscus bloomed. Satprem places the flower on Mother’s knees.)<\/i><\/p>\n

A "Grace" flower bloomed in the thick of the cyclone, Mother.<\/i><\/p>\n

(One can hear the axes hacking away at the broken branches of <\/i>
\n

the great yellow flame tree called "Service," which<\/i>

 spreads its foliage above Sri Aurobindo’s tomb.) <\/i>

The tree that gave me all my "Transformation" flowers [from Satprem’s garden] is broken. The "Service" tree also: some of its branches have been torn off.
\n

Usually it didn’t come this way….
\n

The consciousness must have sunk a lot … quite a lot.
\n

(silence)<\/i>
\n

Some curious things are happening: the consciousness is clearer and vaster than it has ever been – a vast, vast vision … and very precise: I know things happening at a distance (without thinking: they just come). But my memory is ab-so-lu-te-ly gone. I don’t know – half an hour later, I’ve already forgotten what I did. Absolutely forgotten.
\n

(silence)<\/i>
\n

The consciousness of the Presence – the Presence everywhere, in everything….
\n

(Mother plunges in <\/i>
\n

then comes back to give Satprem the "Grace" flower)<\/i>
\n

Mon petit….<\/p>\n

I would like the Grace of belonging exclusively to you.<\/i><\/p>\n
