(This conversation took place in the music room. Mother had asked Sunil, the musician disciple, and Sujata to come.)

Can anybody play the harmonica? (laughter) Ive just been given a harmonica! It comes from Germany. (To Sunil:) Dont you know how to play it? No?

(Sujata:) Satprem would very much like to learn to play some instrument, Mother, you know.

(Satprem:) But not the harmonica!

(To Sunil:) Did they tell you why I called you? No? Dont you know French anymore, tell me?He doesnt dare speak.

Here is the thing: I like your music, and as for me, I no longer play!I dont have the time. I never have an opportunity, I havent played for the last twelve months; except when Sujata comes, then I run a finger over the keys. So its quite impossible for me to play on January 1st, but I thought we could perhaps arrange something. Today, Ill read you the message for the 1st (it isnt a message), Ill read it to you and then well try to do something with it.

Do you know this instrument (the organ)? Can you play it?

There are pedals, mon petit, enough to make your head swim! I cant play that! (laughter) So Sujata will play the pedals, and Ill play the keys!

If something comes, you can use it and do me some music for the 1st. And then, instead of recording here, well record your affair for everybody!

(Sunil:) What you are going to play now Ill keep.

No! Im not playing Ill just pretend to! With that you will do something. You understand?

Maybe nothing at all will come! I cant say. This morning This morning, I dont know, did you think of your visit here? Yes? I heard magnificent musicmagnificent! But it was music it took at least four hands to play it, or several instruments. If that came

Wait. The message (it isnt a message!) There is a photo of me in which I have my hands folded and I look happy (!), so I wrote underneath, Salut Toi, Vrit. Then I was asked to put it into English I said, Salute to the advent of the Truth.

So this is the theme.

Well see now if we find something. This morning, it was magnificent. But even if that were there, I wouldnt be able to play it: it would take almost an entire orchestra! And moreover, its no longer there. It lasted ten or fifteen minutes I dont even remember what it wasits gone.

Well try, well see.

(music)

There, enough!

But what I heard wasnt thatit wasnt that at all! But its absolutely gone.

(Mother starts playing the organ again)

Its really a pity I dont remember at all. That was really fine. It was the hymn to the Truth. It resembled a certain symphony of Beethovens (oh, I am going to say something dreadful) without the padding!

All human music always has padding. They have an inspiration, and in between theres a gap, so they fill it up with their musical knowledge. But this morning, it came straight from above and there was no padding. It was very fine.

Only, I didnt even make an effort to remember; I thought, It will come, but it didnt!

(To Sunil:) Didnt you hear some music this morning?

(Sunil:) What you have just played was very lovely.

Its nothing! Anyway, youll do something with it.

What this mornings music expressed was a sort of ascent of aspiration, like a conquest, and then it suddenly climaxed in a dazzling flash of lightan explosion. An explosion of light. And the explosion of light CASCADED over the world. It was very fine (!)

I still see it, but I can no longer hear it.

But thats how it will be: first the salute, Salute to You, O Light. You understand, the Light is there, like this: it announces itself. And we salute it. Then the whole aspiration rises in conquest of this Light through successive ascents; that is, one sound rises, climbs, and establishes itself; then another climbs and establishes itself. And then, when we have come before the Light, it makes a sort of explosion, like a bomb exploding, an explosion of light. And afterwards, it falls back onto the worldwith sparkles.

And then, I would like at the end the great calm of the Truth.

That will need something very vast and very calmvery vast. Very simple. A few very simple great notes.

Voil.

Organ notes would be fine.

The organ is fine for aspiration.

The explosion of light? I dont know which instrument.

And for aspiration, a few human voices, too.

But dont try to imitate what Ive just played: its worthless! You will do something as I said: first the salutewere happy to see You, you understand: Salute to You, O Light! Salute to You, O Truth!

You play the ascent in stages, accompanied by and finishing off with a gust of aspiration: a soaring, a great soaring. Then, we touch the Light, it makes an explosion. We touch the Truth, we touch the Light. That will have to be very beautiful. Then that Light falls back onto the world in a rain, and its joyous, light, very graceful (gesture like a waterfall). And then the world becomes blissful under the Truthvery calm and blissful.

What time is it?

Seven to eleven.

Ive played as long as that!

Ive been chattering away.

You came late.

Ah, Nolini should be scolded for thatnot me! (laughter)

(To Satprem:) Ill see you SaturdaySaturday is Mademoiselles birthday. How old will you be?

(Sujata:) Thirty-nine.

And he?

(Satprem:) Forty-one.

Already

Well, au revoir, my children.1

Mother's Agenda had to be interrupted for more than a month, following a serious operation undergone by Satprem the day after this conversation.
