Chapter 6May 19, 1972

You know, Mother, I had an odd dream yesterday morning.... In my dream I saw Satprem’s garden. I was walking in the street, passing by his garden, and I glimpsed an “Adoration” tree75 covered with adoration flowers. I was filled with such joy. Then, a little farther on, behind this tree, I glimpsed another plant – it was very tall and it was the “Mind”76 ....

(Mother nods her head)

Then, I really looked, and on the branch of a tree (a coconut tree, I think, or a palm tree), I saw a bird... it was mostly white, a bird much like a pigeon but with a very long tail and a kind of golden circle on its breast, I think.

Oh!

Its head was a little... not quite orange, a little gerua77 (you know, like the earth), like that, and it was perched on a branch.

(Pointing to Satprem) It was him.

(Sujata, surprised) Him, Mother!? I don’t know.

Yes, I am telling you, it was him! (laughter) It’s good.

(Coincidentally, this conversation with Sujata took place exactly one year before Mother’s last meeting with Satprem, on May 19, 1973. These last few days, transcriptions of some recordings made in Mother’s room were on display in the showcase of SABDA, the book business. Sujata voices her

surprise.)
