(Regarding the Indo-Pakistani conflict:)

I have all kinds of things to show you ... because I have been made to say some things - I am always made to say things!

(Mother gives Satprem a hibiscus flower called "Grace")

It's the season for graces.

Do you know this text from Sri Aurobindo? (Mother holds out a note)

"... The fight in which we are engaged is not like

 the wars of old in which when the King or leader

 fell, the army fled. The King whom we follow to

 the war today is our own Motherland, the sacred

and imperishable; the leader of our onward march

 is the Almighty Himself...."

Then I wrote this:

"It is for the sake and the triumph of Truth that India is fighting and must fight [[ Interestingly, Mother had at first written shall fight, then, in the afternoon, she changed shall into must. ]] until India and Pakistan have once more become ONE because that is the truth of their being."
