Chapter 11April 19, 1972

Yes, that’s right. Only the Grace can do that.

Yes, Mother, yes!

This is exactly the meaning of my vision: the transition won’t take place according to mind’s ways, it’s a baby sitting on the mind and playing. I can still see it.

Yes, I experienced strongly how it’s really the Grace that accomplishes everything.

Yes, yes.

All we can do is... call the grace, and that’s all.

Yes, call, be receptive – eager for an answer.

I felt that very strongly, yesterday. I was going through a difficult moment – pain in the body, with irregular heartbeat (alternately starting and stopping), painful – when, just at that instant, the being simply... (Mother opens her hands): “What You will, Lord, what You will.” Within a few hours everything was back in order. How was it done? I don’t know. Only this (Mother opens her hands).

And for everything, everything, all problems, do like this (Mother opens her hands): what You will, Lord, what You will....

I know – I say “will,” but it’s neither a vision nor the will of the Divine, it’s... His way of being. A particular way of being – successive ways of being. We always think of a “conscious will,” but it isn’t like that: it’s His way of being. The way of being of His consciousness. He has projected His consciousness into a creation: it’s His way of being. And it’s His way of being that changes.

Then, one understands that the mind isn’t necessary – it’s the way of being that changes. You follow?

(meditation)

And what about your “change” [of government]?

It’s going on!

(silence)

More difficult in what way?

Well, usually we passively leave it up to Nature to set things right when something goes wrong – that’s totally disappearing. Now it is a process of consciousness, and no longer.... You see, the mind (laughing) it’s going on – the supramental is still sitting on it!), the mind has been worked upon for years, so that it doesn’t meddle when it’s none of its business and lets Nature take care of all the damage; but now Nature is being told,” Keep quiet, a higher Consciousness will settle things.” But that means the consciousness must be CONSTANTLY alert.

Constantly alert.

The consciousness’ own attitude towards the Divine is to be as if nestling in the Divine – I could even say engulfed in the Divine: what You will, what You will, what You will, what You will.... As a “basic” attitude it’s very good, I could say. But when suddenly, something in the body goes wrong, and you don’t know why (oh, most of the time it’s due to an outside cause, like a disorder coming from outside), so then you don’t know what to do – there is no longer a mind to decide what to do; while the consciousness remains like this (hands open upwards). But then you don’t know what to do, so you do nothing.

There is certainly something to be learned.

But if the consciousness is turned upward, doesn’t the Intervention or the Action take place

automatically?

Probably.

It must.

That’s my constant experience. But....

How are things for you?

I don’t know. Better, I think.

Yes. Do you want me to see?

(Mother holds Satprem’s hands,

and closes her eyes)

Much better.

(Mother plunges in until the end,

smiling and holding Satprem’s hands)
