and vital energy … (hem!) is vital! Therefore to say that those who
\nwithdraw withdraw all their energies and consciousness into the psychic to
\nattain Nirvana is nonsense!
\n
There is a nirvana behind the vital, a nirvana behind the psychic, a nirvana behind the mind; there is a nirvana on every level, even behind the physical – it’s death. And those who withdraw, who try to attain Nirvana, NEVER go into the psychic – the psychic is something essentially linked to divine manifestation, not to divine nonintervention, not to Nirvana.
\n
All that is fit for the wastepaper basket!
(Note from Mother to Satprem)<\/i><\/p>\n
(This note came apropos of an old “Playground Talk,” of December 21, 1950, which Satprem read Mother during the preceding conversation. Mother spoke in it of the “clear, precise and constant vision of the Truth,” and she added: “Some call it the Voice of God or the Will of God. The real sense of these terms has been perverted, that’s why I prefer to say ‘the Truth,’ although it is but one very limited aspect of That which we cannot name but is the Source and Goal of all existence.”)<\/i><\/p>\n
Satprem,
\n
Here is what came to me for the Questions and Answers <\/i>after you left, you will see if you can use it and insert it in the text:
\n
I do not readily use the word “God” because religions have made it the name of an almighty being, foreign to his creation, outside of it. Which is incorrect.
\n
Yet, on the physical plane, the difference is obvious. For we are still all that we no longer want to be, while He is all that we want to become.
\n
Signed: <\/i>Mother
\n
[[It may be mentioned that at the time, Satprem had undertaken the systematic publication of the older Questions and Answers <\/i>(Mother’s talks at the Ashram Playground), which is why they will come up now and then in the Agenda. <\/i> ]]
