My Savitri work with the Mother

27 February 1965

On 27th February 1965 I sent to the Mother the last sketches for Book Six for her approval. She remarked:

Dear little child of mine,

The sketches are really excellent.

Love

I told the Mother about my psychological struggle and stress when I went to her. She advised:

Child, when you are in distress, you should not paint, because it will ruin the paintings.

I said:

But, Mother, why should I be in distress?

The Mother shook my hands with a broad smile and said:

Correct answer! This is what I want!

The Mother and I started Book Seven—The Book of Yoga. The Mother explained:

Now for this Book 7—The Book of Yoga—you must start when Savitri is sitting on a mat near Satyavan who is asleep. Savitri sees the aspects of the Divine Mother. When she sees the aspects, they can be painted and the answer they give to Savitri must be painted also. And finally Savitri meets her very Soul—the Supreme Mother. So you must choose the paintings very carefully.

You see, it is not possible for me to read and choose the verses for the paintings. I can understand when I read the passages by myself I cannot follow when others read Savitri to me. I can follow you when I go behind the very source but that also not perfectly well. So you must select the passages.

Also you must tell me how many paintings we have done.

I followed the Mother's instructions.

It seemed the Mother was putting more and more trust in me. I sincerely wished and prayed to her to make me worthy of her Grace and Love.
