them ... (Mother laughs) but that can’t be done.

... We should not allow all this to upset us. There is but one thing to do – remain in a state of constant peace, constant equanimity, for things are not ... they are not very pleasant. Oh, if you only knew all the letters they write me ... if you knew, first of all, the tremendous pile of stupidities that need never be written at all; then, added to that, such a display of ignorance, egoism, bad will, total incomprehension and unequalled ingratitude, and all this ... so candid, my child! They heap all this on me daily, you know, and it comes from the most unexpected quarters.

If this were to affect me (Mother laughs), I would long ago have been ... who knows where. I don’t care at all, not at all, really not at all – it doesn’t bother me, it makes me smile.

(silence)

So don’t let yourself be upset ... I often think of you, for I know how very sensitive you are to all this. It is ... it is really ugly. A whole realm of human intelligence (it’s too great a compliment to call that intelligence), of the human mind, that is very, very ... repugnant. We must come out of that. It doesn’t touch us. WE are elsewhere – elsewhere. We are NOT in that rut! We are elsewhere, automatically.

Our head is above.

(Letter to Mother from Satprem)

Pondicherry, September 2, 1960 Sweet Mother,

After leaving your room, X kept repeating, ‘Very wonderful.’ Then he explained to me that ‘white rays’ were ‘vibrating everywhere’ – along the whole length of the Kundalini, white, yellow and blue, but especially white (he indicated the forehead in particular).

He looked quite ecstatic while speaking of his experience.

In conclusion, he said, ‘Where is the Mother and where is X?’ meaning, I suppose, that all separation had disappeared.

With love.
