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.'
I have had for a moment—just a few seconds—the supramental consciousness. It was so wonderful, my child!... I have understood that if we were made to taste of that now, we would not wish to live otherwise. And we are in the course of (gesture of kneading) changing laboriously. And the change, the process of the change, seems... One can have it through a sort of indifference (I do not know how to say it). But it does not last for long. And generally it is laborious.
But that consciousness, it is so wonderful, you know!
And it is a very interesting thing, for it is, as it were, an utmost activity in a complete peace. But that lasted only a few seconds.
(Silence)
And you?
It is a total consciousness?
It is extraordinary. It is like the harmonisation of contraries. An activity, yes, total, tremendous, and a perfect peace.
But all these are words.
It is a material consciousness?
The action is a material action—but not in the same manner.

How can one come into contact with that more easily? How can one reach there or be there?
I do not know, because for me the whole consciousness, including that of the body, is always (gesture of offering) turned constantly towards the... what it feels as the Divine.
And that without "trying", you understand?
Yes, yes.
