October 24, 1962
(After listening to Satprem read his manuscript Mother enters into a long meditation.)
He always comes here when you read. And such peace is created when he’s here, such peace; something so solid. Don’t you feel it?
Yes, I feel the peace.
(very long silence
Mother listens to the peace
the clock chimes)
When he comes like this, when he manifests this way, you get the feeling that all the disorderly vibrations of life are being kept at a distance – everything becomes so peaceful and … unconditioned: it depends on nothing, absolutely nothing. A peace coming solid and concrete, capable of existing anywhere at all – even on the Chinese border today. [[Three days ago, the Chinese crossed the MacMahon line and have since advanced fifteen miles into Indian territory. ]]
Do you think there’s going to be war?
They’re already fighting.
(silence)
I had the vision of conflagration that always heralds war for me: I had it three or four days before the fighting began. But it wasn’t long-lasting, it was coming to an end very quickly. We shall see. Very violent and very rapid.[[ Mother told another disciple about a vision in which she saw a city (symbolic of a country) attacked by two bolts of lightning at once, one from the East and one from the West. ]]
