Did F tell you what the healer said to her? … They met yesterday or the day before, and he "confessed" to her. He told her he came to India in the hope of finding a place where he could be left alone for a few weeks or even a few months, because he has found the way of healing everything, except a hernia he has, and he would like to be left alone so as to find a way to cure his hernia. Then F told him, "But you can be left alone right here." He replied, "Oh, but if I am asked to cure, I can’t refuse." So it might be better to stop sending him people … but he would have to move to a new house and be alone somewhere. He should be asked if it’s all right with him.
This is how things took place: the other day, the man who does the cooking with F. at Tout ce qu’il faut was running a high temperature, he was quite run down. F said, "I’ll go and bring A.R." She brought him-in five minutes he cured him. And that’s when he spoke to her. So you could see with him. If we don’t send him anyone, no one will go. If he thinks this place is beneficial to his quest, we’ll manage to find some spot where he can be left alone.
How about you? You’re fine, you’ve slept (!)
Yes! … But the effect of this healer, the effect of acceleration you
felt in your body – nausea and all that-did it work out or …?
Yes, (laughing) I worked it out!
As for me, when F told me that "confession" of his, something came just then, I concentrated, and I had F. say to him that I had done what’s necessary [for him to be cured], that now he only had to rest. But it can wait for a few more days, there are still two people I’d like him to see … If I were him, I would stay here (!) because he is REMARKABLY receptive to the Force; so if he stays here, he’ll be able to get cured – yesterday I saw he could very well be cured. I did what’s needed, it’s up to him to receive it – I don’t need to see him for that.
How about you, are you fine?
Yes, yes!
R. had some difficulties after meeting him, and so had M.! … I think it’s all come back into place.

Difficulties? Physical consequences?
Yes.
As for me, I’ve always felt his contact as something very benefi
cial.
It depends on … what one needs.
But it doesn’t matter. For me, it has given me a lot of work, because I had harmonized the body’s transformation with the requirements of the work, and I had managed to find a harmony thanks to which I was never tired. With him, both the times I saw him, for several hours afterwards I felt a fatigue I hadn’t known for years. I had to work a lot. But now it’s all right.
But I tell you, cases like the man who had a temperature he cured in ten minutes. And that doesn’t surprise me.
Well, I find this man touching.
Yes, he is touching.
It’s good he said that – that he’d come to India almost with the certainty of finding a quiet place where he would be able to concentrate until he finds the way of curing his hernia; he said, "It’s the last thing; all the rest has been cured, this alone is left."
That’s only incidental, because the true reason for his coming to India is really the questions he asked you the other day.
Yes … As for me, I think he can be cured quickly. I don’t know the condition of his hernia, it depends (some are bad), but if it’s an ordinary one, it can be cured quickly. [[The healer gave the following replies to Satprem's questions: "I have not come to India to cure myself, but to put myself at the disposal of the Force and to learn. I don't feel inspired to stop curing people so as to look after myself, and I don't want to make an arbitrary mental decision to stop. Moreover I never 'decide' anything: I do what I am asked to. if Mother asks me to stop and to cure myself, I will do it." He also explained that he had already healed the hernia he had on his left side; there remained that on the right side, which he had purposely allowed to develop so as to have the experience. It was now as big as his fist (a peasant's fist). It was the "last barrier," he said, "after that, nothing will remain impossible." ]]

(Then Mother listens to the Talk of
26 August 1953 about Love)
Sujata would like to ask you a question.
(Sujata:) Mother, this Force of Love that comes – sometimes it
comes, one feels, you know, one truly loves – why can’t one keep
it constantly?
One should be able to keep it!
(Sujata:) I think so too, one should, but one doesn’t manage to keep it.
Mon petit … it’s constantly here! Constantly, whatever the body may be doing – whether it sees people or looks after itself or sleeps – it’s always, always there, conscious, vibrating.
I say, "It can be done" – but it’s a fact. Only, what’s needed is … the general obstacle is that most people’s physical consciousness is very dark; it’s made only of needs, desires, the most material reactions, but what’s needed is to awaken in the cells the love for the Divine, and once they love the Divine, it’s like that all the time: it doesn’t budge anymore – doesn’t budge. It’s even FAR MORE constant than any vital or mental movement: it’s like this (Mother clenches her two fists), it doesn’t budge anymore. The cells are constantly like that, in a state of love for the Divine.
That’s what is remarkable in the physical, it’s that when the physical has learned something, it never forgets. Once the cells have learned that, learned this self-giving, this offering to the Divine, and this NEED to offer themselves, it’s learned, and it DOESN’T BUDGE ANYMORE. It’s constant, twenty-four hours a day, ceaselessly, day after day, changelessly; even when something goes wrong (you have a pain or something), the first movement is this: it’s to offer it, to give it – spontaneously. The higher consciousness doesn’t intervene, it’s spontaneous: it’s the consciousness contained in the cells.
It’s the vital and the mind that are like this (zigzagging gesture), unsteady Especially the vital, which is interested in all kinds of things.
Naturally, the two are interdependent: the ego must be abolished – the RULE of the ego must be abolished. Generally, people think it’s not possible to abolish the physical ego; not only is it possible,

it’s DONE, and the body continues, it keeps on walking-it hasn’t gone! (It had a difficult little moment … a little moment.)
Now these cells are wondering how one can continue to exist without this movement of adoration. They’re like this, everywhere (gesture of intense aspiration), everywhere. It’s very interesting.
All those difficulties one has with the inner development when one deals with the vital and the mind, the return of old things and all that, here [in the body] it’s over, it’s not like that.
