Savitri
A Legend and a Symbol

Chapter 2August 5, 1972

Book 8. August

People know I don’t eat anymore, so they’ve stopped sending anything.

I’ve got all I need!

Yet I didn’t tell anyone! I wonder how they came to know.

I’ve got all I need, Mother!

Really?... I don’t want you to get thin! (laughter)

There are some interesting things....

(silence)

What about you? What do you have to say?

No, Mother, nothing. What are the interesting things?

(after a long, smiling silence)

I see certain things, certain events, certain patterns of wills... I see them coming like this (gesture of a screen), I see them very powerfully and distinctly. And at the same time the sense that: this is how it will be with the Supramental.

But it’s difficult to describe.

You can’t describe it – it’s a STATE of consciousness. It’s a state of consciousness, together with the knowledge that that state will be part of the Supramental.

And all this happens within a VERY profound silence. So I can’t express it.

(long silence

Mother touches her hands)

It’s like vibrations coming out of my hands, like this (gesture). My hands seem so powerful! They feel they can change things just by doing this (Mother makes a fist).

But I would rather you asked me questions or told me something, because... otherwise I instantly enter that state which is so, so vast... peaceful... and so powerful – where things are accomplished.

That’s how they are accomplished. But there are no words or explanations – nothing satisfying for the mind.

(silence)

You don’t have anything to say?
