(Mother sees Satprem regarding the English translation of the<\/i>
latest “Notes on the Way” for the next “Bulletin.”
After the work:)<\/i><\/p>\n
Mother, I was thinking of the Agenda….<\/i><\/p>\n
?…<\/p>\n
Well, if I don’t see you, the Agenda is empty.<\/i><\/p>\n
The agenda? What agenda?<\/p>\n
The Agenda, all the notes on the work of transformation.<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh! … There have been some, but…. If it’s not meant for publication, there is … it’s incredible what there was. But it’s not for publication.<\/p>\n
But it stays only with me.<\/i><\/p>\n
I remember having said some things to R. — I don’t know whether she has a good memory…. You know, she came in when it had just happened, so I told her. But I didn’t ask her to take any notes so I don’t know what she did.<\/p>\n
But if there is to be some continuity in the recording of all the<\/i><\/p>\n
work,
\n you would have to see me from time to time.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oh, yes, mon petit, certainly, with great pleasure! Only, you see, I didn’t call you because I wasn’t speaking. I wasn’t saying anything.

Page 31<\/font><\/p>\n My only means of control was silence…. Now it’s over. My leg still hurts, but it’s quite bearable. I have to see you…. Only I hesitated to tell you to come because there are days when … (gesture of interiorization)<\/i>.[[In fact, Mother has spent a great part of her time in deep contemplation since the latest “accident.” ]]<\/p>\n But, Mother, that doesn’t matter, it makes no difference to me.<\/i><\/p>\n Days when I say nothing at all.<\/p>\n Yes, Mother, but I would simply be there at your disposal.<\/i><\/p>\n All right, mon petit.<\/p>\n We can sit in silence, and whenever you want to say something you can say it.<\/i><\/p>\n All right, fine…. At this time then. We’ll just continue on the same days — or more often if you want? It can be more often.<\/p>\n However you want it, Mother. Before, I used to see you on <\/i><\/p>\n Wednesdays and Saturdays.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes, but would you prefer three times or….<\/p>\n No, no, Mother! However you want it, whatever is best for you.<\/i><\/p>\n I don’t really know…. It’s very strange, for me this whole sense of organization has become … (gesture of disintegration)<\/i>. I might suddenly say, “Well, if Satprem were here….” You understand? It rather works like that, but it’s not very practical.<\/p>\n Well, you could have me called, I’ll come at once.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, but you may be in the middle of doing something.<\/p>\n No, no, there’s nothing more important!<\/i><\/p>\n Look, let’s keep the usual days. Wednesday and Saturday, and then if I have something to tell you one day, I’ll send you a note or have you called. Page 32<\/font><\/p>\n Yes, I’ll come any time, it’s quite easy for me.<\/i><\/p>\n All right, then…. I don’t know, all this planning and organizing, all that is gone. Suddenly something comes up — that’s when…. If I could only write…. But I can’t.<\/p>\n Well, just have me called.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, that’s it. It would always be around the same time. And then Wednesdays and Saturdays you come regularly. (Satprem leaves Mother, I have something for you.<\/i><\/p>\n What is it?<\/p>\n We went for a walk yesterday and found this on the beach. It’s mother of pearl, Mother.<\/i><\/p>\n Ooh!… It’s lovely. Oh, how lovely it is…. There must have been a whole shell.<\/p>\n It’s for you, Mother.<\/i><\/p>\n Mon petit, I don’t have any room to keep things, you had better keep it…. I don’t have any room (turning toward the room),<\/i> this has become complete chaos. It’s better if you keep it.<\/p>\n Yes, Mother.<\/i><\/p>\n I feel like a fluid being who doesn’t take up space and can’t keep anything! (Mother laughs) <\/i>It’s like that. Whenever things come to me, they always come to be channeled to their proper place — let everything be in its place. I am … just the site of the channeling (gesture in all directions)<\/i>: this here, that there, this there…. How beautiful it would be if things were the way I see them, oh!… <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 23, 1971 (Mother sees Satprem regarding the English translation of the latest “Notes on the Way” for the next “Bulletin.” After the work:) Mother, I…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-12-volume-12","wpcat-149-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6653\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/worksofthemotherandsriaurobindo.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
