Savitri
A Legend and a Symbol

Chapter 11January 30, 1972

Book 1. January

Who else had this dream?

Satprem saw himself heavily attacked by bombs and grenades.16 F.’s dream: she was trying to see you, but she was locked in a room. She wanted to feed you, and she was told, “No, no, Mother doesn’t eat.” She knew it was a lie, but she was denied access to you.

When was that?

Not last night, but the night before.

Yes, yes.

Your dream was the most complete of the three.

And you saw that the attack was averted.

Yes, Mother, it went away because we were chanting Sri Aurobindo’s name. [Sujata sings:] OM Namo Bhagavate Sri Arabindaye....

Yes, exactly. Exactly. But it’s true, mon petit!... That was good.

Were we attacked?

Not physically, of course.

It’s good – very good. It’s true. It was the night before last.

Personally, I repeated the mantra all night long. It’s good, mon petit.

(Message from Mother:)

Sri Aurobindo came upon earth to announce the manifestation of the supramental world.

Not only did he announce this manifestation, but he also partially incarnated the supramental force and gave us the example of what we must do to prepare ourselves for this manifestation. The best way for us is to study everything he told us, strive to follow his example and prepare ourselves for the new manifestation. This gives life its true meaning young and progressive.
