The Mother confides to a disciple her experiences on the path of a 'yoga of the body'.
Dans ces conversations, la Mère confie à un disciple ses expériences sur le chemin du « yoga du corps », au cours des années 1961-1973.
During the years 1961 to 1973 the Mother had frequent conversations with one of her disciples about the experiences she was having at the time. She called these conversations, which were in French, l’Agenda. Selected transcripts of the tape-recorded conversations were seen, approved and occasionally revised by the Mother for publication as 'Notes on the Way' and 'A Propos'. The following introductory note preceded the first of the 'Notes on the Way' conversations: 'We begin under this title to publish some fragments of conversations with the Mother. These reflections or experiences, these observations, which are very recent, are like landmarks on the way of Transformation: they were chosen not only because they illumine the work under way — a yoga of the body of which all the processes have to be established — but because they can be a sort of indication of the endeavour that has to be made.'
The disciple gives a flower to Mother, and Mother gives it back to the disciple.
It is "the power of Truth in the subconscient".
(Silence)
In the subconscient all the contradictions are accumulated.
Yes.
And it rises thus (gesture of gushing up), all the time, all the time. And then... you have the feeling that you are absolutely imbecile, inconscient, of bad will. And all this (same gesture of a rising up from below).
And the consciousness is there (gesture around the head), peaceful, extraordinarily peaceful... (Mother opens out her hands) "May Thy Will be done, O Lord." And then that puts a pressure upon what is coming from below.
It is as though the battle of the world was being fought within my consciousness.
It has come to such a point that to forget, to forget the Divine even for a minute spells a catastrophe.
And with you, how is it?
Well, it seems to be interminable, this cleansing of the subconscient.
Yes. It is not merely that of one person, it is the subconscient of the earth. It is interminable. And yet one must...
So, to stop that means to stop the work. To continue that means it would take time.... I do not know... it is interminable.

Clearly, yes, clearly, to stop that means to stop the work. It is as though in the consciousness there (Mother makes a gesture around her head) lay the centre of junction and action.
So I have but one means, to keep quiet, quiet, quiet (Mother opens out her hands upward)... to have the feeling that individuality is nothing, nothing, nothing—it allows the divine rays to pass. This is the only solution. It is the Divine who... who must do the battling.
Last time you said: Oh! Hundreds of years will be needed, perhaps thousands, before men turn consciously towards the Divine. But...
Perhaps not.
... one feels that this time something decisive is bound to come.
Yes.... You know, I have the feeling that the person is like an image for fixing one's attention. Men have need of something—they have always had the need of something of their dimension so that they can fix their attention. And so the body does all it can in order not to be an obstruction to the Divine Force which passes through, it seeks to annul its interception, and at the same time it sees that it is... as though an image that men need to fix their attention.
