Chapter 3May 7, 1972

(Mother sees Sujata)

The Force I spoke of yesterday is more and more active (gesture pressing down).

The Action is becoming imperative. Crushing.

(The subject here is the conversation of last April 2 with Auroville’s architect, N. and U., when Mother was trying to bring some harmony among the three. The recording of the conversation, which was never returned to Satprem, started circulating in the Ashram in all kinds of distorted transcriptions.

Satprem’s initiative in giving the tape, which was intended to preserve the authenticity of Mother’s words, was diverted for a typical Ashram purpose: gossip and one-upmanship, each party using

Mother’s words to outdo the other. Nor do we know what happened to all the other similar

recordings....)

Did they give you that text?... It was corrected a little. Did you see it? Is it all right?

Yes, Mother, certainly! Is it for the “Auroville Gazette”?

There’s a complete confusion.... Don’t ask me (Mother turns towards the bathroom).

Yes, yes, Mother.

But I thought of one thing that would be good for the Bulletin.

Oh, yes, Mother, that’s something else. We kept it, and it will be published in the next Bulletin. Yes, it’s done.

What was it? I don’t remember.

It’s when you say, “You are here now on earth because you once chose to – you don’t remember it, but I know; that is why you are here......

Yes, I feel such people are found EVERYWHERE on earth. That was the idea: that some people reading this suddenly feel it’s their destiny.
