Universal Mother.)<\/i>
\n
Do you want some silence?<\/p>\n
Yes, Mother, if you like…. I’m tempted to ask you if Durga <\/i><\/p>\n
won a victory this year?<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We shouldn’t talk about it. I think it was a REAL victory.

(Mother plunges in till the end.
Then Sujata draws near her)<\/i>
\n
Did I give you the [blessing] packets yesterday?<\/p>\n
Of "Victory," yes.<\/i><\/p>\n
(To Satprem:) Did he get the Victory?<\/p>\n
(Satprem:) Yes, Mother, I hope so! [laughter]<\/i><\/p>\n
(Sujata:) Which victory, Mother?<\/i><\/p>\n
Which victory? But there is only one, my child.
Which is?<\/i><\/p>\n Which is THE Victory … we can call it what we like: the Victory of Truth over Falsehood, the Victory of the Lord over his creation.<\/p>\n Which means the creation will now go consciously towards the Divine?<\/i><\/p>\n Ohh!<\/p>\n Eh, Mother? No? Not yet? … Not quite yet?<\/i><\/p>\n Well, that Victory is still only for a few. The creation consciously going towards its divine Origin and ready to manifest that Origin is still only for a few. I think it will take centuries until it becomes general – oh, centuries, maybe millenniums! But what matters is for us to be the few who are conscious, who consciously … (silence, Mother opens her hands) … <\/i>manifest the Divine. That is our victory, for a few of us, which we can and must win and embody – by "win," I mean overcome the material resistance in the body (Mother pinches the skin of her arm). <\/i>That we can and it is our duty to overcome – I mean all the stupid unconscious resistance. That must come to an end. This is our work, and it must be done here (pointing to the body).<\/i> (silence)<\/i><\/p>\n You say it will take centuries or even millenniums. But, for<\/i><\/p>\n instance, We’ll see, mon petit! Let’s first do what we should do. Let’s concentrate on that. Let’s do what we should do.<\/p>\n Yes, Mother.<\/i><\/p>\n Page 298<\/font><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 18, 1972 (This is the season of "pujas," the time of rituals to the Universal Mother.)
