... but what about Sehra? Is she ready to come?" "Oh, I'll write to her that I expect her to come with you," I explained to her that Sehra had her job in Bombay. "Job!" the Mother exclaimed as though she deemed it a small matter. Then she asked me: "How much does she earn?"

At the staircase on the 16th I told the Mother: "Sehra has asked me to put my head on your feet on her behalf. She says that putting her head on your feet used to be the one thing she loved most."

Looking at the Mother's serious face I gathered in a flash that she did not really approve of Sehra's precipitate journey. As soon as Sehra raised her head I said: "Mother does not want you to go. Don't go." Sehra was amazed as the Mother... " It would appear that Sehra had not once asked the Mother: she had merely declared her resolve and received permission.

What primarily stands forth as an act of super-Grace on the Mother's part is the letter she wrote to Sehra after I As there were some temperamental hitches, as well as unfavourable-seeming circumstances, in the way of Sehra's entering the... a day or so later she did write a letter of direct invitation. Unfortunately Sehra received it in surprise and dismay and a surface reaction as if she had been put in a fix and forced to come in spite of her sense of un timeliness. Afterwards there was a deeper understanding of the Mother's unique gesture. Sehra begged the Mother to forgive her, and expressed her willingness to accompany me in... in the near future. On 19 February 1954 we arrived at the Ashram for permanent stay. At the end of a few uncertain months Sehra opened so beautifully to the Mother for good that the extraordinary Page 187 letter seemed justified. And here comes the second of the two things I wish to record. Once the Mother said to me in Sehra's presence; "She knows better than you how to love ...

When I learned of the confusion I at once wrote a letter to the Mother telling her that what she had told Sehra had been exactly the opposite of the real situation.

The Mother confirmed the next day that she had severed the connecting "cord" between the subtle body and the gross. Sehra was very cut up by the loss of Miel. The Mother, however, soothed her with the... and its condition seemed to go from bad to worse, Sehra informed the Mother. The Mother went into a short meditation and then said: "I don't feel it can recover." Soon after, Épave sank into a coma.

Sehra was ill. I informed the Mother. Having acted as usual with her spiritual force she expected a result. But somehow the attack of asthma continued. Then a strange incident took place. I wrote to the Mother about it. On the night of January 13, racked by a terrible asthmatic spasm, Sehra was sitting on her bed with her legs hanging to the... disciple she gave it as an example of what could happen by way of an automatic response on her part and introduced it with the words: "Quelqu'un qui m'aime vraiment, c'est Sehra, la femme d'Amal..."

It was positioned like a leader of the three or four others. The Mother, pointing to it, said, "Seventy times"—and, pointing to the rest, she added, "Forty times... would not respond to any antibiotic treatment. So all treatment was stopped and one had just to wait. Much anxiety was caused all around. The third day at home was the worst. I sent a telegram to Sehra to carry the news to the Mother's room.

The Rainbow THE MOTHER'S WORK IN A DREADFUL PLACE     AN EXPERIENCE OF SEHRA PRESENTED  BY AMAL KIRAN     Perhaps the most frightening peep into the unknown which Sehra ever had was recounted by her to the Mother in a letter dated 11 March 1957: "Before going to bed I asked myself why my prayer for quick... will recover. There is something written by Sri Aurobindo on the subject. I shall tell Nolini to show it to you." What exactly Nolini showed Sehra — or whether he could find anything quite to the point — is not within recollection.

The corpses don't allow her to save them. They on the contrary throw on her their evil desires and feelings. So your prayer cannot be answered quickly.'" When Sehra met the Mother the next day, she told her how utterly sick she was feeling. (She actually took over a fortnight to recover.) The Mother said: "You have seen correctly.
