There were constant obstructions there, between the nose and the throat, and I was silly enough to complain about it; I said it really wasn’t reasonable and it had better go, and then… drastic measures.
But this morning I was told to “rest,” that is, to go within. I said I had other things to do; then it came over me forcibly! That is, suddenly something comes to me that I see, and then quite naturally, I concentrate on it, and I realize I’ve gone off!
It was like that this morning, while I was working.
They are always sending me photos of people who want to get married (it has become a craze), and I am asked if they are well-matched, if it’s all right. And I can see straightaway—I see at once the sort of life they will have together, it’s very amusing! Today there were three couples like that. In the first, the man was intelligent, sensitive, with an emotional side in need of something, of a response. The woman: rather stupid, rather ordinary too. Not at all made for one another. But I was looking, and as I looked I saw what had happened: one day a sort of sentimental and emotional formation had come through her, and it so happens that on that day she met this man, who was exactly in need of that. He said to himself, “This is it!” All his friends told him, “No, no, don’t marry this woman, it will never work,” and they are right. But he said, “I felt something.” And it was just the day when it caught hold of her and he happened to be there. So I saw all that (it was very amusing), and off I went!

Why? There’s a purple V in front of you. A purple V—not purple: dark mauve, the colour of the vital. A V for victory.
Has something happened?
I don’t know.
Wide like this, luminous, mauve. And it was in front of you, you were seated between the two wings. It was for you. Has anything special happened?…
(Mother resumes her meditation)
