March 29, 1964

Satprem, my dear child,

       People are raining like locusts!

                   On Tuesday, I have to see four of them

     before you. I will try to rush it,

                          but I am telling you so that you take your time

and don't hurry.

                               With tenderness

                         and blessings

                                               Signed: Mother

(Two lines from "Savitri" sent along

with this note, on the occasion of March 29,

 the date when Mother and Sri Aurobindo

 first met ... fifty years earlier:)

Because thou art, men yield not to their doom,

But ask for happiness and strive with fate.
