Pondicherry, October 2, 1960 Sunday evening
\n
Sweet Mother,
\n
As I did not find the translation of the Message fully satisfying, I have continued pondering over it. Then another possibility, which MAY be better, presented itself. Here it is:
\n
Ce monde merveilleux de f\u00e9licit\u00e9, \u00e0 nos portes, qui attend notre appel pour descendre sur la terre.*
\n
In this way we keep the word appel <\/i>[call], which is strong. All I did was change the relative pronoun (at first you had translated it as qui, \u00e0 nos portes, attend notre appel. <\/i>2).
\n
1. ‘This wonderful world of delight, at our gates, waiting for our call to come down upon earth.’
\n
2. ‘waiting at our gates for our call … ‘
\n
I don’t know. Perhaps it is more incisive this way.
\n
Your child, with love.
\n

Monday morning
\n
Yes, my dear little one, it is much better like that – it becomes poetry.’
\n
With all my tender affection.
