Regarding a letter <\/i>
\n
Mother wrote to a disciple:<\/i>
\n
… There are all kinds! Complications, lots of complications; there are all kinds of ill will, at least of people who go round in circles instead of going forward. And stupid inventions. The other night … Because the head is always still, like this (gesture to the forehead, palms open to the Light from above)<\/i>; I give thanks to the Lord for that, and it’s always like that; so I don’t decide what’s to be done, I don’t decide what’s to be answered – nothing: when it comes, it comes. And some people had played a really nasty trick ([laughing] I <\/i>couldn’t care less!) and I wasn’t budging. And as it happens, in the middle of the night, a force comes, takes hold of me and tells me, “Here’s the answer, here is what you must say.” I say, “Very well” (I was lying in bed, of course) and I don’t budge. (Mother puts on a more imperative tone:) <\/i>“Here is what you must say.” – “Oh, very well!” And I still don’t budge. (In a still more imperious tone:) <\/i>“Here is what you must say.” (Mother laughs)<\/i>

Page 122<\/font><\/p>\n So I got up, went over there, and in the dark I wrote what I had to say! And then it was over. (Mother then takes up the translation of “Savitri": <\/i> The Debate of Love and Death.)<\/i> (Mother reads the text) Aha! What a joker! … Then will I give thee all thy soul desires He’s a joker. All the brief joys earth keeps for mortal hearts But I don’t want <\/i>them! – He is a real joker. And what happens to him? … My will once wrought remains unchanged through Time Oho, that’s what you think! And Satyavan can never again be thine. X.III.636 Not true, old chap! (Mother translates)<\/i> Alors je te donnerai tout ce que ton \u00e2me d\u00e9sire … [Then will I give thee all thy soul desires] The soul doesn’t desire anything! It’s easy to say, “I will give thee all thy soul desires,” the soul desires nothing. So he doesn’t commit himself to much! He’s a joker – he made him quite a joker.
