(Mother distributes presents)
So, a new year is coming….
Do you have a feeling about the new year?
(after a silence)
Things have taken an extreme form. There’s a sort of lifting of the whole atmosphere towards an almost … inconceivable splendor, but at the same time, there’s a feeling that one can … die any moment – not "die," but the body could dissolve. Both things together make up a consciousness in which… (Mother shakes her head) all past experiences seem puerile, childish, unconscious. And this … is stupendous and wonderful.
But the body, the body has a single prayer – always the same:
Make me worthy of knowing You
Make me worthy of serving You
Make me worthy of being You
There.
I can barely eat anymore, and I am not hungry. I feel a growing strength in me … but new in quality … in silence and contemplation.
Nothing is impossible (Mother opens her hands upward).
(silence)

So if you don’t have any questions to ask…. If you want silence … conscious silence …?
But am I making the right movement, I’m not sure?
Well, when you want to come into contact with the Divine, what movement do you make?
I place myself at your feet.
(Mother smiles,
takes Satprem’s hands
and plunges in for half an hour)
Did you feel something?
I was offered to the Sun.
