Mothers left eye is very bloodshot:

Does your eye hurt?

My eye?

It doesnt hurt??

I dont know. Is there something?

Yes.

Oh! I didnt see. It hurt this morning, and then Strange, no one told me anything.

All right, thats all I needed! I wont be able to do anything at all. It hurt, but I didnt give it thought.

Is it very red?

Not as much as sometimes. But here, when you look down, its very red. When you lower your eyelid, there is an entire bloodshot area, up to the iris.

So it has started again. All right.

Its such an avalanche, you know.

If one could do the work quietly, without having to rush it wouldnt be a problem, it would be nothing. But one has to do in ten minutes a work that should normally take an hour, thats the bad thing.

(silence)

This week, you know, I should have remained quiet (meaning that I would have liked to), because the result of that intensity of aspiration [in the body] is to give me a crystal clear and almost constant perception of the extent to which the material substance is made of Falsehood and Ignoranceas soon as the consciousness is clear, at rest, peaceful, in a luminous vision, falsities seem to come up from all sides. It isnt an active perception, in the sense that I dont try to know: these are things that PRESENT themselves to the consciousness. And then you realize what it takes to clarify all that, to transform all thatwhat tremendous power of Truth-Force! And you notice that the intensity of the aspirationwhich hastens the transformation and brings the realization nearermay well (Mother touches her eye) yes, heres the result.

And I notice that, all around, those nearer to the center of descent are very shaken upvery. I see very few bodies around me capable of bearing it. But then, if thats how it is, necessarily the descent is so filtered and diminished that how much will get through?

This morning, it hurt a little, but I said, Its nothing, it MUST NOT be that it has come bothers me. Its a sign that the descent is too strong. So if we have to wait another four years1968

And whats going to come? Itll be like a perfectly innocuous little rain! Which probably will not even be perceptible for the ordinary consciousness.

Maybe the work would go faster if instead of burdening me with such superficial choressending blessings, signing photographs

Yes! Oh yes, indeed!

And then receiving people. Receiving one after another, one after another, dozens of them. Each one says, thinks, feels, But I take just one minute! But when you add up all the minutes, then

(silence)

But it also shows one thing: if I let too wide a gap grow between me and the people around, it isnt good either, in the sense that if others arent able to bear what I might bring down, it will be another kind of catastrophe.

One must have patience.

Patience one has.

Much patience.

A little later:

I have a feeling that people didnt understand a thing in the last Bulletin1they didnt dare to say anything, but they didnt understand a thing! Even those who, consciously, are supposed to understand: Nolini, Amrita, Pavitra, Andr not to mention all the rest who are not as developed intellectuallyunderstand nothing.

I have a feeling, a vague feeling that it will give someone, somewhere, very far away physically, a coup de grace, because I had that feeling while having the experiencewhat I told you and what you noted down was only the memory of the experience, but while I was having the experience and responding (gesture of mental communication), I had the feeling that, somewhere, someone was touched in a radical way, and that it was important for the intellectual atmosphere of the earth. Who is it? I dont know.

Thats why I let that article be published, because otherwise You see, when I read something or when, for instance, Nolini reads me a translation, I read with the others consciousness how flat it had become! Flat, flat: all the Power was gone.

I made some discoveries of this kind on the way people understand and readvery cultured people.

They dont know how to read, they read with their brains.

They read with a grammar book at the back of their minds!

Those are the scholars, thats awful, but Ive never tried to convince a scholar!

They dont hear whats behind, they dont try to capture that sort of musicthey just see sentences.

My article gives them a sense of something both very boring and very childishboth at once, so that crowns it all! Because the external form is very simple, of course, without literary pretensions; so it isnt exciting for the brain, not in the least (on the contrary I try to calm it down as much as possible!).

No, those who understand you best are the simple-hearted.

Yes, they are touched.

And their understanding is infinitely greater than that of cultured people they understand better, they are more intelligent.

More receptive. Yes, they feel.

They feel correctly, they mentalize less.

(Mother goes into contemplation)

Just before Satprem leaves

So, if by our next meeting you feel something or see something or think of something, or have a dream, you will tell me. I dont have much hope left because these last few days there has been a great intensity, rather hard to beartremendousand this morning when I got up, the intensity had lifted a little. The night was good (I perceive the general subconscient and the state of receptivity, the conditionsit wasnt bad, it was rather satisfying), but I noticed that the Pressure, the intensity of the Pressure, had lessened.

It was only during the work here [with the secretaries], that hour of work (labor, not work), I felt something here (gesture to the forehead and temple) that was a bit tired, like a fatigue coming from outside. Anyway

Well, now we have to hold on.

Mother is referring to a passage from the Agenda, September 7, 1963, which has just been published in the Bulletin under the title "Dialogue with a Materialist."
