Mother’s Agenda, Volume 1. 1951-1960
Mother’s Agenda This first volume is in great part devoted to what might be called “Satprem’s psychological preparation,” from his arrival in Pondicherry in February 1954, “after having knocked on all the doors of the old world.” Ultimately, he would stay beside Mother for 19 years, listening to her and recording the account of her experiences in the cellular consciousness – what forms the 13 volumes of the Agenda. Satprem, “True Love,” as Mother called him, was a reluctant disciple. Formed in the French Cartesian mold, a freedom fighter against the Nazis during the Second World War, and in love with his freedom, he was always ready to run away, yet always coming back, drawn by a love greater than his love for freedom. Being with Mother was, in his own words, like “struggling with the jungle, machete in hand – ultimately to melt, to fall in love, so beautiful it is… It was fascinating and detestable, overpowering and warm. One felt like screaming and biting, and running away, but always returning.” Slowly she conquered him, slowly he came to understand the poignant drama of this lone indomitable woman struggling to unseal man’s evolutionary future, to open the door to a new species after man. And how does one open the door to a new species?

The text is translated from the French original (Institut de Recherches Evolutives) and follows the standard thirteen-volume English edition, with the Mother’s words preserved as recorded by Satprem.

INTRODUCTION
When we have passed beyond humanity, then we shall be the Man. Sri Aurobindo This AGENDA … One day, another species among men will pore over this fabulous document as over the tumultuous drama that must have surrounded the birth of the first man among the hostile hordes of a great, delirious Paleozoic. A first man is the dangerous contradiction of a certain simian logic, a threat to the established order that so genteelly ran about amid the high, indefeasible ferns – and to begin with, it does not even know that it is a man. It wonders, indeed, what it is. Even to itself it is strange, distressing. It does not even know how to climb trees any longer in its usual way – and it is terribly disturbing for all those who still climb trees in the old, millennial way. Perhaps it is even a heresy. Unless it is some cerebral disorder? A first man in his little clearing had to have a great deal of courage. Even this little clearing was no longer so sure. A first man is a perpetual question. What am I, then, in the midst of all that? And where is my law? What is the law? And what if there were no more laws? … It is terrifying. Mathematics – out of order. Astronomy and biology, too, are beginning to respond to mysterious influences. A tiny point huddled in the center of the world’s great clearing. But what is all this, what if I were ‘mad’? And then, claws all around, a lot of claws against this uncommon creature. A first man … is very much alone. He is quite unbearable for the pre-human ‘reason.’ And the surrounding tribes growled like red monkies in the twilight of Guiana. One day, we were like this first man in the great, stridulant night of the Oyapock. Our heart was beating with the rediscovery of a very ancient mystery – suddenly, it was absolutely new to be…
