Savitri
A Legend and a Symbol

Chapter 3August 11, 1971

Book 8. August

If you had the power to replace one of those webs with another one, you could change all circumstances that way.

(Mother shakes her head)

It’s inexpressible.

What web are you working on at the moment?

But I don’t know.... They’re webs that are around the earth.

There’s one... I see.... Why, every little circumstance of life is on it, and when I look like this (gesture looking from above), I see it extends over the whole country, and not just over the whole country but over the whole earth.

(silence)

Are there several of them?... I don’t know.

Don’t know.

(Satprem puts his forehead on Mother’s knees

and gets ready to leave)

I try, you know, I try.... Things go through the consciousness, but my whole effort is to avoid adding anything personal to them, you follow – so that it can be like this (gesture of unobstructed flow through a channel).

I am conscious of the Action on small points, but now it is here, now there (scattered gesture throughout space); it’s not... there’s nothing continuous as in the mind.

Inexpressible.

(Mother gives Satprem a note she has just written.)

“When men become disgusted with the falsehood they live in, then the world will be ready for the reign of Truth.”
