April 1971

07. April 1971 – The Force is so active

It's serious. Such an ardent faith would be needed... but... (gesture of something crumbling into dust between her fingers).

You see, the Force is so active... Lies that have gone on for years are becoming visible here too — the mixture is everywhere.

Such a... such a force of truth would be needed, you know, a force that would be great enough to overcome all that.

(silence)

For me, Victory is certain, but I don't know if it's tomorrow or... (gesture into the distance).

I don't know what road we will take to get there.

Victory is certain, that's obvious, but what road are we going to take to get there?

And it very much depends on our individual position; that's what they don't understand. We must cling, cling so tightly to the Truth that nothing can touch us.

(silence)

It always comes back to the same thing: "What You will, Lord, what You will."

But that has become formidable.

11. April 1971 – Stay Calm

But the lesson to be drawn from all this is to remain calm so as not to lose contact with the Supreme Lord.

14. April 1971 – Cling to the Divine

There’s an impression that not a single minute should be lost, that we should constantly, constantly cling to the Divine to compel his descent here. Otherwise… otherwise it’s terrible.

So I need… I need all those who love me to understand me.

It is your destiny: to become conscious and manifest the Divine — it is your destiny. You must… Me, I am in a hurry because I see circumstances becoming more and more… acute — dangerous. Only a miracle can save us — that is to say, what we consider a miracle: an intervention… an intervention of the Divine Will in its purity, undistorted, uncontroverted, unobstructed — just That.

21. April 1971 – Forgetting the Past

I am such a different person that I don’t remember my past life anymore! I was asked a question this morning: I was blank! I was asked whether the first time I came to Pondicherry I came by train or by boat. The second time I still remember [by boat]. Logically it’s by train; but it’s like giving an answer concerning someone else.

29. April 1971 – Madness of the World

The world is going mad.

We have to keep the faith like this (gesture of clenched fists). Not here (pointing to the forehead), but here, like this, in the Divine.
