Chapter 142March (?) 1959

(Letter to Mother from Satprem)

Pondicherry Sweet Mother,

When coming out of your room, X told me, ‘With Mother I have spoken my own mother tongue.’

... ... ... .. . X told me that in 6 months, he would come here to spend an entire month for the initiation and preparing for the initiation. He spoke to me of this in the street after having seen P, and in an enigmatic way he told me something along these lines: ‘Yes, strong men are needed here. The Power is needed.’ I did not clearly understand, for it was said with a lot of innuendo behind it.

Signed: Satprem (Letter to Mother from Satprem concerning the tantric initiation that Mother wished to see X give

to two other disciples at the Ashram)

Pondicherry Sweet Mother, said ‘seen,’ I do not think he meant physically). He said that many people would be very eager but rare were those in whom you could have full trust – and perhaps they have reached a stage where it would be difficult for them to submit to the discipline of initiation.
