Last night, I thought, ‘My god! If I have to …’ Individually, with this one or that one, by selecting the best, I could get somewhere, but this … this mass.’ Swami had told me so – he told me immediately after his first meditation (collective meditation at the Ashram playground), he told me, ‘The stuff is not good!’ (Mother laughs)
I didn’t press the matter.
All this together constitutes one collective entity, and the individual is lost in it. If I had to deal with this person or that person individually, it would be different. But all together, taking them all together as a collective entity, well, it’s not brilliant.
