Chapter 8June 21, 1972

(Satprem reads to Mother a few fragments of “Notes on the Way” for the next Bulletin. Towards the end of the second fragment, Mother seems to be elsewhere. Suddenly, she moans and hides her face in

her hands. We pray.)

(Mother gives Sujata the manuscript of a note she wrote for Auroville.)

“Jesus is one of the many forms the Divine has assumed to come in contact with the earth. But there are and will be many others. Auroville’s children must replace the exclusivism of one religion by the vast faith of Knowledge.”

(Mother has not been well lately. She listens to Satprem read the conversation of May 6, 1972 for the next Bulletin: “A golden force pressing down on the earth.... An absolutely material Power, but with

no need for any material means.... A world is trying to be born into this world “)

What you’ve written is very good, it’s far better than what I said!

(Satprem, somewhat flabbergasted:) But it’s the exact transcription of what you said, Mother!!

(Mother laughs,

unconvinced)

This way it’s turned out very good.
