what it means!

I do. It’s very good! (laughter)

Very good.

(silence)

What’s the time?... What would you like?122

Whatsoever you like.

No!... (laughing) I am at your disposal!

You don’t have anything to say?

I’ve noticed I am becoming extremely sensitive. The least disturbance in the atmosphere and I get blows.

Oh, me too! And to such an extent that it makes me ill.

Yes, quite annoying it is. But there must be a radical remedy, I mean something that shelters you completely. That would be....

(Mother plunges in

holding Satprem’s hands)

Good morning!... Do you eat caviar?

Caviar!

It is a very good food....

I’m sure!

How long since you last ate caviar?

Oh, at least... thirty years!

(Mother laughs) Try some, and see what you think.

Right, I will see!

(silence)

I brought you a flower from the garden: “Surrender of Falsehood.”124 Oh!...

I take it in the largest and most profound sense....

(silence)

Nothing to ask?

No – may falsehood disappear.

Look.... As I understand it, when Falsehood is gone (even in a single person – when not a vestige remains...), there must be Light, Peace... (Mother stretches her arms out)... Vastness... perfect understanding... the TRUE vision of our world and things, and union, a conscious union with the divine Consciousness.

(Mother plunges in)
