The consciousness of the cells is being taught to break free of 'false matter' with resultant effect in every country and continent, and every branch of human knowledge.
A fire spread across the world that year, from Warsaw to Colombia, from Nanterre to Alexandria: "There are long periods when things are being prepared, and a moment comes when something happens; and this something is what will bring about a new development in the world. Like the moments when man appeared on earth; now it is another being." This is the second turning point of Mother's Yoga. She is 90. Auroville has just been founded: "A center for accelerated evolution." Martin Luther King is assassinated, and Robert Kennedy. Russia invades Czechoslovakia - what is going on? "I have the strong impression of an attempt to make us learn something like the secret of the functioning [of man, of the earth]. The method we have learned is constantly shown to be false, it doesn't conform to reality, and there is a will to make us find the true method, but through experience." As if the earth were shut in a bowl, prisoner of a "false matter": "There is a sort of web over the entire earth, and the body is being taught how to get out of it.... Little by little the consciousness of the cells is breaking that hold." And on the other side of the web all of a sudden: "Never in my whole life have I seen or felt anything so beautiful!.... The most marvellous hours ever possible on earth - why do people go looking up above for something which is right here!" The short-lived miracle of 1968 seems to be swallowed up, while the walls of our bowl are slowly but inexorably being shattered in every country, every continent and every branch of human knowledge. "A considerable amount of time would still seem necessary for everything to be ready to change. And yet, there is almost a promise that a sudden change is going to take place." Could it be that, one fine morning, one last pressure of circumstances will throw us headlong into a new consciousness?
There's a problem. It's about P.L.—do you know who he is?1
No.
He is one of the dignitaries of the Roman Curia.
I don't understand! He is a Catholic?
He's going to be appointed bishop in [such and such a country].
...!!!
So there's a problem. He is an important person, and he wants to leave everything—this whole Christianity he rejects, he no longer wants it. He wants to leave his Church, his episcopate, everything, and remain here. He has "found" something here.

Yes, I saw that man: he was very much attached.
Yes, and he wants to leave everything. But it's a problem, because the slightest thing may cause scandals in Italy. The Communists are always ready to seize on the least opportunity: a priest who gives up the frock... Not only a priest, but an apprentice bishop of the Roman Curia. So he would like it to take place without scandals. But how should he go about it?
I saw the man, and I found him very good.
He is very good. He has something. He has experiences with Sri Aurobindo, he sees Sri Aurobindo. But there too, there's a problem. First, he needs your force: he's a man without much force vitally and physically. When he goes out of his body... The other day, he saw Sri Aurobindo at the Samadhi, and at the same time his body was being devoured by wild beasts and thrown out of his bed. He is attacked, he needs to be protected. Vitally and physically, he is weak. So you understand, if he goes back to Rome, those people won't let him go without a battle.... He'd like to ask you how he should proceed?
Is he from [such and such a country]?
Yes, and he is employed in Rome's Court, he looks after divorce cases. So on the one hand he needs your force to carry out this operation—it really is an operation—and then, what's the way to avoid a scandal? He told me he is the right-hand man of Cardinal T.2: "Should I use my influence with Cardinal T. to be given a sort of mission outside Rome, in Africa or in India, gradually distancing myself from Rome, keeping out of the limelight, and then disappearing? Or should I directly speak to the Pope and tell him clearly all that's going on?..." Because you know that when the Pope came to Bombay, P.L. was with him in the plane....
I prefer the solution of speaking to the Pope.

Is he the one who fainted here during a meditation?
Yes, vitally and physically he is weak.
But vitally, the Pope is very strong. That's troublesome.
(Mother again goes into a long concentration)
It's the only way. That danger is there, but he'll have to go through it.
When is he leaving?
Early in April. He'll ask to see you before he goes.
Yes. But I won't speak.
From here where will he go first?
To Rome, I think.
(silence)
But I have a feeling the Pope may also be interested?
(Mother nods her head)
