Good morning! … Do you eat caviar?
Caviar!
It is a very good food….
I’m sure!
I used to eat it, but now I can’t…. Not so long ago I used to eat it, but it made my eyes swell. [[All salted food, the doctor said. ]] So I’ve stopped. How long since you last ate caviar?
Oh, at least … thirty years!
(Mother laughs) Try some, and see what you think.
Right, I will see!
(silence)
I brought you a flower from the garden: "Surrender of Falsehood." [[Double red laurel flower. ]]
Oh! …
(Mother immediately takes the
flower and puts it on her forehead,
where she holds it a long time, silently)
I take it in the largest and most profound sense….
(silence)
Nothing to ask?
No – may falsehood disappear.

Look…. As I understand it, when Falsehood is gone (even in a single person – when not a vestige remains …), there must be Light, Peace … (Mother stretches her arms out) … Vastness … perfect understanding … the TRUE vision of our world and things, and union, a conscious union with the divine Consciousness.
(Mother plunges in)
