What do you have to tell me? Me, I have nothing to say …
\n
<\/p>\n
Are you tired?<\/i><\/p>\n
It’s going on …. The difficulties of those around, of the work, of people, keep increasing, from health to understanding (there seems to be a general crisis), but the Help and the Power keep increasing too. It’s like a sort of demonstration.
\n
But the difficulties are taking on rather unpleasant proportions.

Children are nicer and nicer! … The NEW children are truly remarkable. Today I saw Ws little girl: she’s two years old, I think, but she is as children used to be at the age of six or seven. Alert, intelligent … It’s strange.
\n
What do you have to say?
\n
(long silence)<\/i>
\n
I have a vague impression that I had something to tell you, but I don’t know …
\n
(Then Mother shows a brochure of "=1" <\/i>
\n
on education in Auroville) <\/i>
… Anyway, it’s not bad. <\/p>\n I don’t know if it’s wrong, but I am no longer interested in "problem." I no longer ask myself any questions at all. The lative mind doesn’t interest me.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Oh, but I might be responsible! … Because for me, that’s pretty much like chatter. <\/p>\n Nothing interests me anymore, except something else that I am<\/i><\/p>\n waiting Something that must come, yes, that’s right. <\/p>\n So all the rest … People give me books, give me letters, but not interested.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n That’s it. So she [the brochure’s author] wants to see me …. I find all this so futile! <\/p>\n Yes, it’s something ELSE.<\/i><\/p>\n Yes. <\/p>\n Something WHOLLY OTHER …<\/i><\/p>\n Yes. <\/p>\n … which must come.<\/i><\/p>\n Exactly. <\/p>\n So all these embellishments of the present are uninteresting, find.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Exactly And the whole day long, from morning to night, they pester me with fuss of this sort (Mother points to the brochure). And she wants to see me …. <\/p>\n Would you like me to read the brochure and give you an account<\/i><\/p>\n of Page 37<\/font><\/p>\n No, I’ve read it (not read but listened to it): it’s words. It’s not bad, but it’s words. Only, she takes it seriously: it’s "education in Auroville." But I am so aware that it’s the mind indulging in itself, and going on indulging, so … And if you try to get them out of it, they no longer understand anything. So the best is to let them. But I don’t see why we should bother to read their stories. No, really, mental life seems to … go round in circles. There’s such a mixture! … (It’s Pavitra who read it out to me yesterday evening.) Suddenly there’s a sentence from Sri Aurobindo, then a sentence from Y. [the brochure author], then suddenly a sentence from me, then suddenly one from M. (who has become a great guru) …. <\/p>\n They’ve asked me for articles – not they, others. I said, earth can I say! …" It doesn’t come, I am not Oh, they’ve asked you … <\/p>\n But going by the echoes from Europe, you get a sense of a huge<\/i><\/p>\n balloon financially, mechanically) and about to burst-it has to burst …<\/i><\/p>\n into something else. And the Mind is part of this balloon.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Yes, yes, it’s the Mind that seems to have swollen as much as it can, almost to bursting. It’s exactly that. I was wondering about this: Will it take … a complete bankruptcy of the Mind for people to understand? … Will it burst to end in a zero? So I am constantly asked for messages (not articles because I no longer write any), but Y wants me to see her and to "note down" what I will tell her. But I know very well that everything I will say will be completely distorted. One would like to be able to … keep a little quiet. And they take it all so seriously! They think it’s so important …. <\/p>\n Constantly, the only thing I feel like saying to all these people is, SOMETHING ELSE … SOMETHING ELSE …<\/i><\/p>\n Yes, exactly. <\/p>\n I feel there’s nothing else to answer. <\/i><\/p>\n Page 38<\/font><\/p>\n (Mother goes into<\/i> a long then speaks in English)<\/i> I could remain for hours like this! [[During the meditation, Sujata noticed that Mother opened her eyes for a moment, and according to her, they were absolutely Sri Aurobindo’s eyes. And Mother spoke in English when she emerged from the meditation. ]] A great Peace has come down. Did you feel that? … <\/p>\n (Satprem:) Yes.<\/i><\/p>\n And then it becomes wide, wide, wide …. (silence,<\/i> then Mother speaks<\/i> in I find it very comfortable! (Satprem lays his head <\/i> on Mother’s knees, then Mother<\/i> looks It’s like BIG eyes looking (Mother gestures to show about eight inches).
