Chapter 16April 8, 1973

(The next day, as agreed, I came to see Mother. From now on, the attendant was barely visible anymore, but she secretly recorded our conversations.130 The whole time of this meeting is spent in meditation. I keep having the feeling that Mother is trying to build another kind of bridge with me.

Towards the end.)

(Mother plunges in again)

Pranab declares to P.B., one of the Ashram’s trustees, “Get ready for Mother’s departure.” P.B. has Satprem asked what it means.
