(No sooner has Satprem entered her room than Mother looks

 at him and declares categorically:)

Things are better – aren’t they?

For me or for….

Yes, for you.

Page 92


Well, I think so, I hope so.

Yes, but I am telling you: things ARE better – I know! (Mother laughs)

It’s cleared up.

It was pretty tough.

(Mother signs the contract for the

 publication of the "Synthesis" in France – silence)

Do you feel that things are also better in general, or …

Yes.

… or is it specific?

Things are better.

A dawning of joy in the body…. It’s coming, it’s coming.

You remember, I told you everything was like this (gesture on the brink of catastrophe), but now we are plainly – plainly on the bright side. From time to time (a little wobbly gesture), but … plainly on the bright side.

It’s much better.

(silence)

And your atmosphere is much clearer, MUCH clearer. There are less … (gesture of conflicts).

Have you seen this?

(Mother hands Satprem a paper about the

restrictions on admission to the Ashram)

Don’t people ask you to come to the Ashram?

I never encourage them.

Shall we meditate?

(long meditation)

You have nothing to say?

I wish everything would melt.

(Mother laughs and takes Satprem’s hands)

It’s very clear. Very clear.

(Mother goes off again,

 holding Satprem’s hands)
