What’s the use? How much would anybody<\/p>\n
understand? Besides the present business is to<\/p>\n
bring down and establish the Supermind, not to<\/p>\n
explain it. If it establishes itself, it will explain<\/p>\n
itself – if it does not, there is no use in explaining<\/p>\n
it. I have said some things about it in past<\/p>\n
writings, but without success in enlightening<\/p>\n
anybody. So why repeat the endeavor? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

**<\/sup>* Page 215<\/font><\/p>\n What disciples we are of what a Master! I<\/i><\/p>\n wish you stuff.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n As to the disciples, I agree! – Yes, but would the<\/p>\n better humanity? To deal with a few exceptional types<\/p>\n would hardly solve the problem. And would they <\/p>\n consent to follow my path-that is another ques<\/p>\n tion? And if they were put to the test, would not<\/p>\n the common humanity suddenly reveal itself – that<\/p>\n is still another question. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n (August 3, 1935) On Himself<\/i>, XXVI.178-179 **<\/sup>* Strange, it comes in gusts. A sudden gust comes in which everything is clear – the supermind is evident. And the body sees, it even sees what it is expected to do. The next minute, poof ! (gesture of curtaining) <\/i>it’s veiled again. These are like two different ways of being in relationship with the Divine – both are relationships with the Divine: one is the old way and the other the new way. Formerly, you see, whenever I had a difficulty, I would immediately curl up in my relationship with the Divine, and it would go away. But now it’s no longer the same. The relationship with the Divine is itself on a different footing. So really … (Mother gestures to indicate that she does not know).<\/i> My shelter, my lifelong shelter, which helped me get through everything, seems to be gone. Now … it’s no longer the same. Now, that, too, has to be surpassed.
