Chapter 152May 1959

He told me that this japa with you should last 3 days in succession; consequently, that takes care of the question of interviews, as you will be occupied until Wednesday or Thursday. He told me that 10:15 would be better for him (that can also mean 10:20) because he only finishes the first part of his puja at about 10 o’clock, which is what made us late this morning (he was still ‘sitting’ when notion of time. He told me, ‘You understand, here I am in the house of Annapurna142 and I am so happy to be able to do my japa and my puja without being disturbed by my family worries. At last, here, I can live for That only. There is a great vibration everywhere.’ So he forgets about time.

(Letter to Mother from Satprem)

Pondicherry Sweet Mother,

He was even more overwhelmed today when he came down from your room than yesterday. It was physically visible. He said nothing, except again that you ‘only’ could understand.

... ... ... ... Then, suddenly looking at me with his third eye, he spoke of me, and said quite enigmatically, ‘I don’t know why THESE THOUGHTS come to me every time I think of you ...’ (I don’t know what thoughts he is referring to) and he added, ‘You will come TWO months to Rameswaram – l shall ask Mother – SUCH A THING is going to take place ... When the time comes I shall write to you, and you will stay with me.’ These are his exact words, which could mean just about anything.

This morning, just before going into your room, he hesitated uneasily, because he saw someone through the slightly ajar door of your antechamber. He asked me who it was, but I urged him towards you, telling him it was nothing. If such a thing could be avoided, it would be better.

Oh! How overwhelmed he was when he came down your stairway! It took him at least five minutes to pull himself together.

Your child,

Signed: Satprem
