October 6, 1971
(Concerning the next “Bulletin.”)
Is it interesting?
But of course, Mother! But you know, as a matter of fact, I see
the Bulletin from A to Z, every comma. It’s no one else.
That’s good. Have you finished “The Synthesis”?
No, Mother, it will take another year or two.
Oh, as much as that!
No, pardon me! They calculated it will last until 1975.
’75!… (Mother laughs.)
What shall we take up next?
What have we published?
"The Human Cycle," "Human Unity," a few chapters of "The
Life Divine."…
Well, we should finish the book.
Finish it!… (laughter)
It’s a lot of work.
Yes, enough for 30 years of the “Bulletin”!
(Mother laughs)
Yes, it’s best to take The Life Divine.
Or “Savitri”? Your translation of “Savitri”?
Page 256
Oh, that!… It would take a poet to do that…. You’re speaking of my translation?
Yes, Mother.
It’s worthless.
No, it’s not, Mother! Maybe a few things need adjusting,
but…. No, no, it’s worth it.
But I’ve done very little of it.
Well, you would have to “complete” it! (laughter)
Did I do the end?
A little at the beginning and then the end.
I don’t see anymore…. So I should go back to it then…. The
Life Divine will take how many years?
I don’t know, thirty years maybe [at the rate of a chapter per
"Bulletin"].
What! (laughter) Thirty!… Then it will go on until the year 2000.
Yes.
(Laughing) Then we have plenty of time!
No, you see, it is bound to go on one side or the other, that is, either my body will be renewed and become stronger (I mean my eyesight better, and so on), and then it will be easy, or else finished.
No!
Or else I’ll have to let it go.
No, no. No, it must change for sure. That’s sure.
(Mother laughs)

It’s almost mathematical, you know.
It FEELS that way…. I don’t know. It’s up to the Divine Will. Because a certain part will necessarily have to be miraculous.
Yes.
Without a miracle, it…. But then, the miracle depends on the Lord.
Well. Anyway, we have some time to think about it! (laughter)
But it HAS to take place, Mother. It’s not just faith, it’s a logical
outcome.
It all depends (Mother touches her hands) on the proportion of what needs to be eliminated, you see. And the capacity for transformation.
But, Mother, I think it depends even more on its necessity for
the world — on the necessity of your transformation for the world.
You think it’s necessary?
But of course!
(Mother laughs)
It’s the only chance we have.
Oh!…
If it isn’t done in you, that means the thing is put off again for
… for centuries. Well, that’s just impossible! It’s not possible.
(after a silence)
I am fully open to anything the Lord wants — anything, even the most difficult of things. I am fully open like this (Mother opens the palms of her hands upward): what You want, Lord, what You want — that’s my joy. That’s all.
It’s my LIFE. It’s the essence of the life in me, in the body. It is like this: what You want — with a joy, a joy that is … unadulterated.

That’s all.
(silence)
Do you want a little concentration?
(Mother goes within)
