Others too had to understand Her secret - her own disciples, Nations. Will she be heard? Will she be allowed to pursue her experience? '... The body knows that the work will go on and on and on...'
The last turning point of Mother's yoga, and she comes out of it with this cry: "I have walked a long, long time. There was nothing but a constant cry, as if everything were torn away from me. It was the whole problem of the world." And this Agenda is more and more strewn with heartrending little cries. It was not enough to have found the secret for herself, the others too had to understand, her own disciples, Nations locked in their egoistic power: "They have no faith! 'She is old, she is old', an atmosphere of resistance to the change; 'it is impossible, impossible' from all sides.... Not a single minute should be wasted - I am in a hurry.... The reign of the Divine must, oh, must come!.... If the entire Russian block were to turn to the right side, that would be an enormous support! The victory is certain, but I don't know which path will be followed to reach it.... We must cling, cling so tightly to Truth.... They don't listen to me any more." She is 93, groping her way into the unknown: "I see more clearly with eyes closed than with eyes open, and it is a physical vision, purely physical, but a kind of physical that seems more complete. The consciousness of the cells is what has to change, all the rest will follow naturally! I have the feeling I am on my way to discovering the illusion that must be destroyed so that physical life may go on uninterrupted - death is the result of a distortion of consciousness." Will she be heard? Will she be allowed to pursue her experience? "Only a violent death could halt the transformation; otherwise the body knows that the work will go on and on and on...." And this cry again: "There will be a miracle! But what, I don't know."
(Mother hands Satprem two notes.)
"We are at a moment of transition in the history of the earth. It is a moment only in terms of the eternity of time. But compared to human life this moment is long. Matter is in the process of changing to prepare for a new manifestation; but the human body is not sufficiently plastic and offers resistance. This is why the number of incomprehensible disorders and diseases is increasing and becoming a problem for medical science. "The remedy lies in union with the divine forces which are at work and in a confident and quiet receptivity that facilitates the process." November 18, 1971 "Those who want to progress have an exceptional chance; because the transformation begins by opening the consciousness to the working of the new forces; and Page 303 thus individuals have a unique and marvelous opportunity to open to the divine influence." November 20, 1971

(Then Mother listens to Satprem read a letter from the disciple in the Vatican.)
And what about the cardinal who was supposed to come here?
Not a cardinal.
He's not a cardinal?
No, but he handles millions. He's a Monsignor.
That means archbishop?
I don't know, Mother. I just know that he is in charge of an enormous "charity" which has millions, and he gets all his money from women—he has a power over women. A colossal fortune. Were he to turn it to the right side, it would be good.
(Mother nods)
But he's a man who is enslaved to his lower nature, I think. He has both an intelligence that would enable him to reach very high and a lower nature ...
Very assertive.
And nothing in between.
Because, I had counted a little on his coming here and telling the people at the Mission to keep quiet—they're a nuisance. They're creating all sorts of trouble for us (they're not the only ones, but they're contributing). So I had hoped he would come here and tell them to keep quiet.
I'll tell P.L. He can do that; he is a very intimate friend of the cardinal of France, Tisserant. He would just have to say a word to him and it would be taken care of.

Good.
There are the Sisters, the ones who have a kind of hospital—they're very nice, they work very well and take very good care of the people who go there. But the College... they've played a great part in the troubles that took place here.1 It's not the Sisters, they're very nice. It's the College.
I'll tell him.
(silence)
You don't have any questions?
What about you, what do you say?
I am asking if you have any questions.
There's a lot of talk of war....
Well, they've begun fighting.
No, they haven't!
They've begun fighting; I received a letter yesterday or the day before. They've crossed the border2 [of East Bengal].
You think that means war?
(Mother makes a gesture of not knowing)
This is not the official news. It's the "combatants"3 who write me: the general who came here....
