Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

19 May 1968

Dearest Mother,

There is a message of yours which I wish to publish in Mother India in block form. It runs: “C’est dans le silence que le vrai progrès peut se faire.”

I have translated it: “It is in silence that true progress can be made.”

May I have your approval?

All right.

Blessings

(Amal submitted the following the two texts for approval to publish them in the July 1968 issue of Mother India.)

It is certain that for living at Auroville a great progress of consciousness has to be made.

But the moment has come when this progress is possible. (June 1968)
