<\/p>\n
I’d like to tell you that for some time I’ve had troubles with
\n my <\/i><\/p>\n
body….<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oh?
\n
<\/p>\n
A bit disorganized.<\/i><\/p>\n
What happened to it?
\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t know. … I feel something threatening me.<\/i><\/p>\n
Since when?
\n
<\/p>\n
About a month.<\/i><\/p>\n
But where does it hurt?
\n
<\/p>\n
A functioning is disorganized. I feel there’s an obstruction
\n or <\/i><\/p>\n
something, or … well, I don’t know what’s wrong.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
(after a silence)<\/i>

Page 237<\/font><\/p>\n You see, the Force of transformation is working very, very strongly, and many people are like that: the functions are no longer "normal," as they are called, that is to say, the functionings are changing, and so the first impression is always that of a disorder. But if one can put in the body this sort of tranquil patience, you know, like that, free of worry, after a time things are fine…. With digestion, for instance, one day you can’t digest anything anymore, so you think that … and then, if you stay VERY STILL, like that, without worrying – above all, without worrying – you see that it slowly takes on a different movement, and then it’s all right… but in a different way, a completely new way. It SHOULD be like that, but I can’t know, of course. It should be like that. <\/p>\n I have to struggle a lot against all kinds of suggestions.<\/i><\/p>\n Ah, there we are, that’s what causes the trouble. Suggestions of what sort? <\/p>\n You know, the kind of disease people generally have.<\/i><\/p>\n (Mother makes a face. One thing I know is that the Consciousness is working in you very strongly, but … Don’t you feel it? <\/p>\n Oh, I ALWAYS feel this Force.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, but [I mean] very materially, you understand. There’s a difference when it works in the mind, for instance, or even in the vital, and then when it starts working in the body. <\/p>\n But there’s the fact that my last experience in hospital has terrible imprint.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Oh! <\/p>\n It has put on me something that wasn’t there before.<\/i><\/p>\n Oh, that’s it … that’s it. (long concentration)<\/i> Page 238<\/font><\/p>\n Do you rest during the day? <\/p>\n After lunch, yes.<\/i><\/p>\n At what time? <\/p>\n About quarter past one.<\/i><\/p>\n We’ll try. But do you have any trouble right now? <\/p>\n No, no, nothing right now. I think the main thing is to sweep<\/i><\/p>\n away Yes, that’s right, it’s the main thing. If you could put in the body – INTO the body – the complete surrender,<\/i> that is, it should RELY on the Supreme’s intervention alone, you understand; the BODY, the very body must say to Him, "Here (Mother opens her hands),<\/i> here …" to the Supreme, with the knowledge that He is there; He is there in the atmosphere, in the cells, in everything, and … (gesture, hands open)<\/i> and that’s all. That’s very effective. Because I know, of course, this body has a lot of troubles, and that’s its only remedy. It knows no other. And it’s the only one that’s really effective (same gesture, hands open and eyes closed).<\/i> When one learns to do it, even pains go away in a few minutes. So you’ll try. Above all, you know, you mustn’t think or remember things…. That’s very bad, very bad. *** (Mother takes up her translation of <\/i>Savitri: Savitri’s<\/i> answer to Death.)<\/i> <\/p>\n But Savitri answered to the sophist God:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n "Once more wilt thou call Light to blind Truth’s eyes, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make knowledge a catch of the snare of Ignorance <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the Word a dart to slay my living Soul?<\/p>\n One can’t slay the soul! <\/p>\n Offer, O king, thy boons to tired spirits …<\/p>\n \n Page 239<\/font><\/p>\n (Mother smiles)<\/i> <\/p>\n And hearts that could not bear the wounds of Time, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let those who were tied to body and to mind, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tear off those bonds and flee into white calm <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Crying for a refuge from the play of God, <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Surely thy boons are great since thou art He!"<\/p>\n Savitri,<\/i> X.IV.647 Page 240<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 20, 1970 I’d like to tell you that for some time I’ve had troubles with my body….
