What do You bring? … And how do you feel?<\/p>\n
Well, I think I can feel your presence better.<\/i><\/p>\n
Ahh!<\/p>\n
In fact, I feel that alone can straighten things out.<\/i><\/p>\n
It’s the Lord’s presence passing through me – through what people call "me." An aggregate of cells which … (laughing) <\/i>took this form pretty long ago!<\/p>\n
Yes, but this form is very….<\/i><\/p>\n
This form is…. It’s most peculiar, you know: that [cellular] consciousness gives an impression of something trying to become fluid. Something is obviously trying to make it manifest a … an otherness.
\n
Be an otherness. But how? …

The body is comfortable only when it is conscious of the divine Force acting (gesture of descent through the body), <\/i>but otherwise it’s….

Page 204<\/font><\/p>\n Any concentration on the body itself causes a kind of strange discomfort, a discomfort which stops only when it is conscious of the Force – of the Force working (same gesture of descent through Mother), <\/i>the Force working, when "That" comes and flows through it. Then the … I can’t say "the old method" is gone, it’s not at all that, it’s … something. (Smiling) <\/i>There’s a phrase that comes to me in English: the joy of nothingness.<\/i> (silence)<\/i> But don’t you have any questions?<\/p>\n Personally, for example, before, my tendency was to turn to Sri <\/i><\/p>\n Aurobindo or to a Force … to THE Force – to That, to the Lord, <\/i>\n <\/p>\n I don’t know. Well, but the effect has not at all been the same<\/i><\/p>\n since I really started to turn to you as a person.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Ahh!<\/p>\n But since I really turned to you as a person, I have felt a more<\/i><\/p>\n decisive Quite possible. Only, the person is…. It’s not a human person.<\/p>\n No, of course not!<\/i><\/p>\n It’s a supramental person. Something the cells don’t quite understand yet, but they know, they sense. They feel as if they were thrust forcibly into a new world. That’s what is now pressing all the time like this (gesture of pressure and descent). <\/i>In spite of an apparent weakness (which is purely illusory), there’s a … tremendous Force here.<\/p>\n Yes, certainly.<\/i><\/p>\n Mind you, it’s a Force seemingly too strong for the body; but when the body stays VERY quiet, like this … (gesture, hands open), <\/i>and as nonexistent as possible, then all goes well. Then, you feel … (gesture of something flowing through Mother).<\/i> But that Force is … stupendous!<\/i><\/p>\n Oh, yes! Yes, indeed, the few drops one can taste seem … seem<\/i><\/p>\n just overwhelming.<\/i><\/p>\n Page 205<\/font><\/p>\n Overwhelming.<\/p>\n And instantly effective.<\/i><\/p>\n (Mother goes into contemplation for forty minutes<\/i> holding Satprem’s hands)<\/i> Page 206<\/font><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 7, 1972 What do You bring? … And how do you feel?
