(In reference to Mother’s latest letter to Satprem.)<\/i>
\n
Mon petit, if I have caused you pain, I am very sorry (Mother takes Satprem’s hands).<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh, listen, Mother!<\/i><\/p>\n
You see, I spoke to you the way I speak to myself [in Mother’s letter to Satprem], as frankly as possible. But I really didn’t think that would cause you pain. I saw in you that you knew things…. Tell me what’s bothering you.<\/p>\n
No, Mother, now it’s really all gone. It’s over. There were one<\/i><\/p>\n
or
\n two … rather difficult days, but now it’s over.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
(Mother holds Satprem’s hands tightly)<\/i><\/p>\n
In the end, what I regretted is that all this takes up so much of<\/i><\/p>\n
your
\n time, and that we make so much fuss about it, that’s<\/i><\/p>\n
all….<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oh, that doesn’t matter.

Page 90<\/font><\/p>\n … While there are far more important things. [[Pakistani troops launched a general attack on Bangladesh before the monsoon; they succeeded in sealing off almost entirely the border with India, cutting off all possibility of help from India. Meanwhile the Chinese have massed their troops near the northeastern borders. ]]<\/i><\/p>\n Oh, mon petit, the situation is … terribly dangerous.<\/p>\n Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n There’s only…. It’s only by clinging desperately to the Divine — but to the purest and most powerful Divine — that we can avoid a … general conflagration. It’s terrible. There’s an impression that not a single minute should be lost, that we should constantly, constantly cling to the Divine to compel his descent here. Otherwise … otherwise it’s terrible. So I need … I need all those who love me to understand me.<\/p>\n Yes, Mother, yes.<\/i><\/p>\n (silence)<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, I too have gone through (I don’t dare use the past tense) a <\/i><\/p>\n period in which there was a sort of complete disintegration.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes. Me too.<\/p>\n An assault.<\/i><\/p>\n I know, I know.<\/p>\n Something that wants to get me very….<\/i><\/p>\n I know, I was with you day and night, you can’t imagine how concretely.<\/p>\n You know everything I went through?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, I know…. I know…. Forget it, won’t you? That’s the best thing to do. It is a part of the being that must disappear — it’s not you. Page 91<\/font><\/p>\n I know it’s not me, Mother. But it tried very hard to strike me.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, yes … I know. I am telling you, day and night, all the time, it was coming like that all the time…. But if one could — no … not “if”: one MUST, one must change that into a great victory, petit. Let everything still clinging to the lower part go — finished, let it be swept away for good.<\/p>\n Yes, Mother, I would like that. With your help, yes.<\/i><\/p>\n It’s as if … as if you went up, as if you threw away an old coat and rose straight up into the Light — I’ve seen it…. I have seen it. (silence, Satprem’s hands)<\/i> That quotation we put in the “Bulletin” is so much to the point![[“The end of a stage of evolution is usually marked by a powerful recrudescence of all that has to go out of the evolution.” ]]<\/p>\n Yes. Yes, it’s fighting and kicking. Everything that has to go is fighting back.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, fighting ferociously. (silence)<\/i> But the situation of the country is dangerous, very dangerous.<\/p>\n Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n China…. A long time ago (a long time, more than a year), I saw China’s intention. Now she’s got her chance. [[China announced that, if India interfered in the “internal affairs” of Pakistan, she would attack. ]] And China, that means all India, brff! (gesture of being overrun). <\/i>No, I tell you, only the Divine can save the situation. There has to be a divine intervention, that alone can save things — something extraordinary, abnormal, unexpected. Otherwise … otherwise…. (long silence)<\/i> Page 92<\/font><\/p>\n Really … really it can be expressed this way: only the Divine Will can save us — all circumstances are … (Mother interlaces her fingers). <\/i>And so, we have to … you know, we have to get rid of everything that still holds us down in order to be really ready to receive that Divine Will.<\/p>\n I understand very well, Mother, deeply. But I believe only in<\/i><\/p>\n the Yes, I know, mon petit. (drawn-out silence)<\/i> Oh, you know, the body, the whole body really wants, it wants the transformation, and it is…. There is such a world of insincerity there, it’s frightening — in the cells, in the … oh!… And so there is such an urgency, an urgency — the urgency FOR that … frightening…. Day and night there’s the will, the will to become … to become divine. (silence)<\/i> These last few days, ALL the old notions have collapsed, all the old reactions have collapsed, it was…. And then, and then what? What? … That’s it, you see, nothing is left, nothing, nothing … only (Mother clenches her fists), <\/i>only a will — a will, an aspiration, a compelling need: oh, the reign of the Divine must come, it must! (silence)<\/i> To have the sense of one’s inferiority and incapacity, and in that aspiration let the Divine alone exist. (silence)<\/i> And you, mon petit, it’s your destiny. It is your destiny: to become conscious and manifest the Divine — it is your destiny. You must…. Me, I am in a hurry because I see circumstances becoming more and more … acute — dangerous. Only a miracle can save us — that is to say, what we consider a miracle: an intervention … an intervention of the Divine Will in its purity, undistorted, uncontroverted, unobstructed — just That. (silence)<\/i> Page 93<\/font><\/p>\n We have to be at our highest — and it is still far from being what it should be. (Mother goes within.
