Chapter 4June 10, 1972

Ahh!

But since I really turned to you as a person, I have felt a more decisive action taking place in me.

Quite possible. Only, the person is.... It’s not a human person.

No, of course not!

It’s a supramental person. Something the cells don’t quite understand yet, but they know, they sense. They feel as if they were thrust forcibly into a new world.

That’s what is now pressing all the time like this (gesture of pressure and descent). In spite of an apparent weakness (which is purely illusory), there’s a... tremendous Force here.

Yes, certainly.

Mind you, it’s a Force seemingly too strong for the body; but when the body stays VERY quiet, like this... (gesture, hands open), and as nonexistent as possible, then all goes well.

Then, you feel... (gesture of something flowing through Mother).

But that Force is... stupendous!

Oh, yes! Yes, indeed, the few drops one can taste seem... seem just overwhelming.

Overwhelming.

And instantly effective.

(Mother goes into contemplation for forty minutes

holding Satprem’s hands)

(Mother unwinds a garland of “Patience” from her wrist to give to Sujata.)

Do you want patience?

(Sujata:) Very useful, Mother!

When, Mother?

All the time, mon petit!

Well, I feel you are more and more present, close to me – your help, I mean.

Ah! Yes, that’s true.

But.... The Help is getting more and more accurate, more and more conscious, but... I must say it’s VERY difficult.

Yes.

But it doesn’t matter. Since we have agreed to do it, let’s do it. There’s no point in complaining. But the Power – the Power is stu-pen-dous, only... (Mother points to her body), this is like a mockery: the slightest thing gets inordinately magnified! Even physically. Physically, it’s so strange, I’ve got insect bites on a spot that’s completely covered (Mother touches her leg); for a mosquito to reach it is impossible. And, I don’t know... I am told there are no fleas or bugs here!

There are ants, Mother!

Do ants bite?

Yes, Mother, certain kinds of ants do.

Aaah! So that’s it: there ARE ants here. Oh, some ants bite!

Yes, yes, Mother! I learned that here, I didn’t know myself.

Well, neither did I! (laughter) Ah, that’s what it is! Well, thank you! (laughter)

(silence)

But I would be interested to hear your observations.

I may not be conscious enough. It’s very general. I have a feeling you are very much present, and as soon as I call a little, you are right there, the Help is there.

That, yes, definitely.

When I remember how it was just one or two years ago, naturally I can see, I can realize what a tremendous Power there is now.

Yes, there’s a difference.

Yes, tremendous. It’s tangible.... And, I must add, at times it falls upon me without my even calling
