On April 1st, the sports season opens, and I’ve given an … appropriate message.

I started with a paradox:
\n
“The first condition for acquiring power is to be<\/i>
obedient.
\n<\/i>
\n
Page 88<\/font><\/p>\n "The body must learn to obey before it can manifest <\/i> power; and physical education is the most thorough<\/i> discipline “So be eager and sincere in your effort for physical<\/i> education and you will acquire a powerful body.” It’s logical. That’s all. * * * Soon afterwards<\/i> Everybody is quarreling…. Oh, quarrels about absolutely nothing – everybody gets angry, everybody quarrels. It’s been like that for the past three days. Astrologers say it depends on the “position of the stars” – but I don’t believe in that! I believe the position of the stars is merely … (how should I put it?) the celestial notation of terrestrial events (!) It’s not that the stars condition [events]: they are the expression. * * * (Then Mother goes into a long contemplation which will last<\/i> almost till the end. At one point, she opens her eyes and looks<\/i> at Satprem taking place or she were Nothing to ask?<\/p>\n I felt there was something.<\/i><\/p>\n What?<\/p>\n I don’t know.<\/i><\/p>\n I was in fact going to ask you…. I had that same feeling – for you. Something new. No? Haven’t you had a new experience?<\/p>\n I felt something.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, but I felt it very strongly! I was about to ask you [when Mother opened her eyes], then instead of asking you I tried to see, but I didn’t see anything! (Mother laughs) <\/i>There is a very different quality of vibration, a sort of … Is it twelve?… Are we alone?<\/p>\n Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n The feeling of a very peaceful conscious force, but very strong, which has established itself in you, which has come down – something new. Did you feel it?<\/p>\n It took a mental expression a few days ago.<\/i><\/p>\n Oh … (in a disappointed tone) <\/i>What was it?<\/p>\n The impression that all realizations on the heights and all the<\/i><\/p>\n horrible Flame, they are ONE. Up above, it all gets dissolved; down<\/i><\/p>\n below, it all gets dissolved; and in the Flame, it’s ONE, there no opposites anymore.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n For me, it [what Mother felt in Satprem] was expressed through a sort of very strong, very luminous balance, and … oh, with an extraordinary peace. You understand, something which has established itself (gesture of a solid square)<\/i>. I could express it with the word “realization.” Peaceful, strong, luminous – very solid.
