The Signature Of Truth

MOTHER'S SIGNATURE

Do you know what this means? (Mother points to Her signature)

No, Mother.

No? Wait. I'll show you. (Mother draws a bird above the signature)

Yes, Mother.

This is a graphic representation of the signature. It means: the Bird of Peace descending upon earth. Its wings are tilted towards the earth. You see the angle of the wings and how it is descending to the earth? It is to bring peace. It is the messenger of Peace. The Bird of Peace descending upon the earth. Do you see?

Yes, Mother, but....

Now I am going to explain to you how this bird corresponds to the signature. Look, first this, this is the tail of the bird. Here are the two points of the tail I am drawing. You have seen the tail of a bird, it is like this.

Yes, Mother.

Well, the two points of the tail and one wing

together make one part of the bird. And this, here, is the other wing. These are large wings. And here the eyes are represented by these two dots. And here is the head.

The bird is seen coming from a distance, that is why one can make out only the eyes which are shining and not the details of the head. The eyes are important, for they reflect the soul. It has very large wings, tilted like this to one side. That is why its body is hidden. The body can't be seen; it is hidden behind its large wings. From far only its two eyes can be seen and not the other parts. Because only the eyes are shining, the eyes which reflect the soul. They are important— the eyes.

So, that's how it is: the tail with one wing, and this is the other wing, and these two dots —the eyes. (Mother shows these on the drawing)

Yes, Mother, it's

It is the symbolic representation of the Bird of Peace descending upon earth. Instead of drawing the whole each time, I draw a symbolical design, which represents this bird. You

can see quite well, the bird in flight descending towards the earth. It is still far away, but one day it will alight upon the earth. Then, there will be Peace on earth. That, then, is the significance of my signature. It comes from another world to bring Peace down here. Do you understand? (Silence)

But, Mother, Your signature has no connection with. ... "Mira"....

No, absolutely none. No connection at all with that. People put silly interpretations on things. That's because they imagine all kinds of things and attach a meaning to them in conformity with their fancy. This has no relation with my name.

But, Mother, I have seen on Your photos, some old photos, that You have signed "Mira" with this signature.

Nonsense, it has no connection with "Mira". (Mother writes) It is like this and has no relation with my signature. These are only groundless fancies. (Mother draws) My signature is this. It is the Bird of Peace descending upon earth. And none of those stories. Do you understand?
