(Letter to Mother from Satprem)

Pondicherry

Sweet Mother,

I have just spoken for a few minutes with X. He came out of your room extremely 'moved' (in his deep way). 'I was standing before Mother and I no longer knew where I was. At the end of fifteen minutes, I found myself there.' And several times, he said,

'Great Power, Great Power ... An Ocean. She ONLY can understand ...' And as I expressed my surprise - for while going to your room, he had told me that he would begin this special 'japa' standing before you only tomorrow - he told me, 'When I went into Mother's room, I felt the Order come from above, and I began immediately.'

He told me that this japa with you should last 3 days in succession; consequently, that takes care of the question of interviews, as you will be occupied until Wednesday or Thursday. He told me that 10:15 would be better for him (that can also mean 10:20) because he only finishes the first part of his puja at about 10 o'clock, which is what made us late this morning (he was still 'sitting' when I went to fetch him). Furthermore, X is always 'unexpected' in his acts, and he has scarcely any notion of time. He told me, 'You understand, here I am in the house of Annapurna' and I am so happy to be able to do my japa and my puja without being disturbed by my family worries. At last, here, I can live for That only. There is a great vibration everywhere.' So he forgets about time.

I This text by Sri Aurobindo (The Human Cycle, Cent. Ed. Vol. XV p. 247) was translated into French by Mother on the occasion of writing to Satprem.

Your child,

Signed: Satprem

P.S. The divinity invoked in his present pujas is Durga.
