Mother’s Agenda, Volume 2. 1961
Mother’s Agenda In this year of the first American trip in space, Mother strikes at the heart of “the great mystery”: “It’s double! It’s the same world and yet it’s – what?” In one world, everything is harmonious, without any possibility of disease, death, or accident – “a miraculous harmony” – and in the other world, everything is awry. Yet it’s the same world of matter – separated by what? “More and more I feel it’s a question of a vibration in matter.” What is this “vertical time” that suddenly opens up a new way of living and being in matter, where things are no longer the inexorable consequence or cause of one another? “A kind of absoluteness in each second.” A brand-new world at each second, without trace, age, or past imprint. And what is this “massive immobility” in a lightning-fast movement, this “speckling of vibrations,” as if Mother were no longer experiencing her body at a macroscopic level but at the level of subatomic physics? And sixty years of “spiritual life” crumble as “a far more serious illusion” before – a new Divine? Or a new mode of life in matter – the next mode? “I am absolutely in the process of cutting a path through the jungle.”

7, 1961 I came down at 9:30 sharp, thinking half an hour would be enough to cross the corridor and get here. Apparently not! (Mother gives Satprem a rose.) This is the Tenderness of the Divine for… for himself! The tenderness He has for his creation. ‘Creation’… I don’t like that word, as if it all were created from nothing! It is He himself, creating with all his tenderness. Some of these roses get quite big; they’re so lovely! And I am… how to put it? Nothing we say is ever absolutely true, but, to stretch it a bit, while I am… not worried, not perturbed, not discouraged, I feel I can’t get anything done; I spend all my time, all my time, seeing people, receiving and answering letters – doing nothing. I haven’t touched my translation 1 for over a week. T. sent me her notebook with questions and I had it for two weeks before I found time to answer. 2 Nothing is ready for the Bulletin except what you have done. It’s a pity you have no time to do your work. Even the translation…. You know, when I am tired and work on the translation I feel rested. But, oh, all these letters! Even the best of them are stupid. Anyway…. When I came here just now there was someone waiting to see me – I told him to come at 11: 00, and by then there will be 700 people waiting for me to come out. They are already gathered around the Samadhi. 3 Well, enough grumbling. Let’s get to work. * * * (Later, during the course of the conversation, Mother remarked:) Understanding The Synthesis of Yoga is quite simple: I have only to be silent for a moment, and Sri Aurobindo is here. It’s not this body’s understanding: HE is here! January 10, 1961 I have a stack of unread letters this high and an even bigger stack I’ve read but haven’t answered. How can I work on the Aphorisms w…
