"Job!" the Mother exclaimed as though she deemed it a small matter. Then she asked me: "How much does she earn?" "A hundred and fifty rupees a month plus the commission she gets on the chocolates she personally sells. Sehra feels we ... reply could have reached her, Sehra wrote to me a letter. 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." The Mother looked very pleased and said "Bon!" ("Good!") I did the head-feet touching and the Mother blessed Sehra through me. On the afternoon... entering the head with its lower curved base. Within the immense skylike egg there were faint far vibrations. The Mother's letter for Sehra did not come that day.

It was in reference to the last sentence in Sehra's note in which she ...

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. When she said she would not leave Pondicherry unless the Mother openly gave her sanction, the Mother relaxed her own expression and showed that she did not like Sehra to leave.

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 ...

Immediately the Mother with a stern face declared: "I have no intention of giving you the upper storey. You have already planned to leave your present flat and go to one you had once occupied." Sehra was absolutely stunned. She could just look her utter astonishment and... directed to the development of his soul and he has not to rest until by an inlook he has found the wrong turn hiding in some obscure recess of his nature. Let me recount a personal experience. Sehra and I, when we first settled here together, had at our disposal a fine spacious flat. The proprietor of a flat which we had occupied on a short visit a year or two earlier came to tell me that those... and come away much disturbed and depressed. 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. I expressed my wonder as well as the hurt amazement that she could entertain the idea of our having such a deceitful plan Page 92 in our heads. I related what had transpired ...
... one's" misery. Two hours later I noticed a dried-up wizened look on Miel's face. Sehra was perturbed. I gave the cat some drips of Coramine. It crawled under my bed and after half an hour died. 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. Our sadhak-friend Barin Ganguli, a great lover of animals and an expert veterinary doctor, tried his best to bring it round but to no avail. Sehra watched over the inert body all through the night... desire I had allowed in myself a little earlier.) Another cat, which was connected with me and had the Mother's darshan in its last hours, was the tom Miel. It was a very handsome animal. Sehra and I were indeed proud that it stayed with us, but it was never quite domesticated. It had sometimes a savage manner, as if it did not quite like our possession of it. In its sixth month, it caught ...
... my arrival in Pondicherry in 1954 for permanent residence. Sehra and I were staying downstairs and Mina in a room upstairs. One night a brick-piece came crashing against Mina's door. The next day a similar object struck against a door on our ground floor. Stray pieces kept coming for a few more days. On the fourth day while Sehra was working in our garden in the early morning, a number... later asserted that she had not heard Sehra go to the bathroom any time after 10.30 or so. Again, our bathroom door creaks very loudly whenever opened or closed and is likely to wake up anyone who is not too heavy a sleeper. It is quite certain from my own evidence as well as from that of others that the terrible hurt was received during a nightmare. Sehra asked Lakshmi to apply lightly a... of devotion when he had made an offering of his money of the Ashram. Apropos of occult forces and entities, I may set on record two extraordinary phenomena. To one of them not only I but Sehra, her sister Mina and a Goan servant-girl of ours can testify. I say "extraordinary", not "unprecedented". In fact, it was paralleled by a series of happenings to which Sri Aurobindo and the Mother ...

Even in the present case I must have seen everything, but when I come back into the outer consciousness I sometimes forget and there is a blank. Sehra: You mean you want to forget and so you don't remember. Mother:... threatens to happen, we'll see about it and prevent that also. 23February 1962 Mother: Why were you so late? You are always in time here. Sehra: I was cooking for my guests. Mother: Have you come straight from your cooking? Sehra: Yes. Mother: Oh, that's why I have such a delicious smell. You must have prepared something very nice. It is so nice that I would like... 1962 Mother: You must have been in Egypt once, an Egyptian lady. Sehra: Mother, why do you say this? Mother: Because I saw, just now, behind your shoulders, an Egyptian god with a head-gear on which there was an eagle. You were as if standing held and protected by him. Sehra: You are protecting me now. So it must be you at that time also. Mother: ...
... Immediately Sehra touched those feet and exclaimed: "Oh the Mother is here!" Soon afterwards, she lay down in bed and went to sleep. When she woke up, she was completely cured. The Mother confirmed later that Sehra had not indulged her imagination. The Mother's feet had been really there — rather something of her that took the form of her feet in order to become perceptible to Sehra. I have... REPORT BY AMAL KIRAN It was in 1963. 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..." ("Someone who loves me truly, it is Sehra, the wife of Amal...") Page 200 ...
... surprised, and looked with mingled shame and pity at the fellow. He got up and with a dazed expression walked hurriedly away and disappeared. In contrast to this occurrence I came to know from my wife Sehra that she had done Pranam sixteen Page 111 times, bowing at the Mother's feet first and then touching the head to the sides of her seat and so on, but the Mother had kept smiling and... standing, in a long robe, as I have often seen her in the years immediately following 1954. When I approached her she smiled a little and gave me a bunch of flowers for myself and another bunch for Sehra. One flower was prominent in each bunch. 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. On the fourth day there was a little improvement on the whole but the infection persisted. The monster within the stomach refused to budge. My resistance appeared ...
... 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. But I do remember Sehra and me thinking: "How little we realise what a stupendous labour of love the Mother has undertaken for us all." Page 195 ... this darkness and from these people. 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. I am now working in the subconscient ...
... her. My letters are one long spiritual autobiography. And what is a spiritual autobiography from here except a various presentation of Mother-moodedness? What shall I say to your question about Sehra and me and the psychic being? Both of us live, each in an individual way, in something of its glow at least frequently if not all the time. But that is different from the outburst of the psychic. That... this little wide-verandaed flat which seems poised in Sri Aurobindo's vast peace and caressed by the Mother's million winds of love. My work goes on with a sweet efficient rhythm, and the presence of Sehra is no bar at all but a natural portion of God's magnificent day and mysterious night. She is as much a child of the Mother as I am and, although there are several differences in our temperaments, they ...

Sethna, had written a letter to the Mother describing a horrendous vision of hers. ‘I saw people there with human forms, but they were not human beings. They were very... the corpses were also enjoying what was happening to them. They were not really dead but only looked so: they were alive.’ Then a Voice told her: ‘This is where the Mother’s work is going on.’ When Sehra met her the next day, the Mother said to her: ‘You have seen correctly. I am now working in the subconscious. It is a very terrible region and even worse than what you have described.’ 35 Around ...

An incident which taught me never to make snap judgements as well as focused a facet of the Mother's incalculableness took place after Sehra had prepared for her a lovely set of curtains and chair-covers. The Mother admired them and had them put to use in her bathroom. A little later several holes were found in many of them as if somebody... to sweep and clean the bathroom noticed them too and felt rather distressed. There was only one other person who had access to the bathroom in the natural course of the day's work. It struck both Sehra and me as Page 24 obvious that out of some freak of jealously this person had done the disfigurement. I mentioned our condemnatory conclusion to Champaklal.
