I mean if the Lord wants success for us, it can be BREATHTAKING. There is the possibility of a breathtaking success &#8212; not in the sky: here. The only thing is to know whether the time for success has come.<br \/>\n<P align=\"right\"><i>(long silence)<\/i><br \/>\n<P>It seems that things are much better in Auroville.

You see, the Will comes, but then all the formations come in and decay its execution &#8212; I would like &#8230; I would like my atmosphere to be &#8230; a limpid transmitter, utterly limpid. I don&#8217;t even try to know what it is, because that too introduces an ordinary human element. A limpid, limpid transmitter: let it come like this <i>(gesture of direct descent), <\/i>pure, in all its purity &#8212; even if it is overwhelming.<br \/>\n<P>At bottom we don&#8217;t know why one thing is like this, another thing is like that, and our vision is &#8230; even if our vision is worldwide, it is so small, so small &#8212; so exclusive: we want this, we do not want that. First and FOREMOST to be an instrument: we must be LIMPID, limpid, things must pass through undistorted and unobstructed.<br \/>\n<P>Actually, that&#8217;s how I spend all my time, trying to be like that.<\/p>\n<p><i>But is that possibility of victory which you feel something<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&nbsp;recent?<\/i><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"2\">Page 142<\/font><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><P>Yes.<\/p>\n<p><i>It&#8217;s recent; because apparently circumstances are obviously not so good &#8212; apparently.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P>Oh, you know&#8230;. All circumstances seemed to be poised for a disaster.<\/p>\n<p><i>Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P>Just a few days ago, the disaster seemed to be closing in. And so, at that moment, it was as if my whole being &#8230; what&#8217;s the word? <i>(Mother clenches her fists), <\/i>were, yes, you can call it an aspiration for the true Victory &#8212; not the one sought by this side or that side or &#8230; &#8212; the true Victory. ALL the difficulties seemed to have been as though a light shone: the possibility of Victory. It&#8217;s still &#8230; not miraculous, but the intervention &#8230; it&#8217;s the intervention of the Supreme Wisdom &#8212; will it concretize? We&#8217;ll see. It seems, it seems to be coming like this <i>(gesture at a certain height, her two palms turned downward), <\/i>as a possibility.<br \/>\n<P>Yes, it&#8217;s recent, quite recent. I can&#8217;t say because it didn&#8217;t come abruptly, but it&#8217;s a matter of days.<\/p>\n<p><i>Yes, because for some time, I was feeling a great pessimism.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><P>That&#8217;s a bad attitude.<\/p>\n<p><i>Well, I didn&#8217;t really have that attitude, but it&#8217;s like an atmos<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\n  phere of pessimism that came.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><P>That&#8217;s always there&#8230;. It&#8217;s everything that does not want the Divine which creates the atmosphere deliberately to discourage those who want the Divine. You must &#8230; you mustn&#8217;t pay any attention. It&#8217;s the device of the devil. Pessimism is the devil&#8217;s tool, for he feels his own situation is &#8230; <i>(shaky gesture). <\/i>You know, if the possibility I see materializes, it will really be a decisive Victory over the adverse forces &#8212; naturally they fight back as best as they can. But that&#8217;s always the devil, as soon as you see even the tail of pessimism, it&#8217;s the devil.
