April 30, 1965

I spent part of the night in your rooms – didn’t you know?… How did you sleep?… As usual.

I don’t know.

How can I explain?… (Smiling) It was like a round of inspection of the “spiritual sanitary” conditions of the different lodgings (1). I am putting it like this, but it was rather curious; it was like a force, yes, or a sort of consciousness that came to inspect the different premises from the standpoint of spiritual health – it was rather curious, interesting. It had started with a visit to my own rooms here; then I asked for the explanation of the principle, if I may say so, on which that inspection was based, and when the explanation was given, I said, “Well, let’s go and see Satprem’s home, then." And I even had a sort of feeling that you didn’t know (mind you, in fact I knew nothing about it, it’s just what I saw

 last night) that the mosquito netting they put at your place is mine, the one that was here before.

Yes.

Oh, you knew it.

And then that force (it was a force, it was a being, it was an action, it was … – not a human being) said when I spoke of going to your home, “Oh, but he is in exceptional conditions!” “Ah, why?” I asked “Oh, he has that netting, and all the air that comes in – the subtle air – becomes impregnated with your atmosphere as it enters.” (Mother laughs) I said, “Good.”

It was early this morning, between two and three, you were sleeping.
