Things have taken an extreme form. So there is an uplift of the atmosphere towards a splendour and at the same time the feeling that at any moment one may die. But the body has one prayer—to know, to serve to be worthy of the Divine. All that veils and deforms and prevents the manifestation of the Divine in us: it is that, the falsehood. But the only thing is to let the New Consciousness fill us.


30 December 1972

So it is going to be the new year. ...

 

Things have taken an extreme form. So there is, as it were, an uplift of the atmosphere towards a splendour... almost inconceivable, and at the same time the feeling that at any moment one may ... one may die—not “die”, but the body may be dissolved. And so the two at the same time form a consciousness ... all the old things seem puerile, childish, unconscious—within there ... it is tremendous and wonderful.

 

So, the body, the body has one prayer—and it is always the same:

 

Make me worthy of knowing Thee,

Make me worthy of serving Thee,

Make me worthy of being Thee.

 

I feel in myself a growing force ... but it is of a new quality... in silence and in contemplation.

 

Nothing is impossible.

On Mother's message of 31 December 1972.

 

There is only one solution for falsehood.

It is to cure in ourselves all that contradicts in our consciousness the Presence of the Divine.

 

Yes, I insist on that; it is very true, very true. It may not be easy to understand, but it is a very profound truth.

 

All that veils and deforms and prevents the manifestation of the Divine in us: it is that, the falsehood.

 

This is what I have been doing all the while—every day and the whole day long, even while I see people. It is the only thing worth living for.  

10 March 1973

That it is the only thing—to let the New Consciousness fill us. I am repeating always: “What Thou willest, what Thou willest, what Thou willest... let it be what Thou willest, may I do what Thou willest, may I be conscious of what Thou willest.”

 

And also: “Without Thee it is death; with Thee it is life.” By “death” I do not mean physical death—it may be so; it may be that now if I lost the contact, that would be the end, but it is impossible! I have the feeling that it is ... that I am That—with all the obstructions that the present consciousness may still have, that's all. And then, when I see someone, as though to offer the person to the Light, whoever he may be: like that. All the while, it is amusing, all the while I have the feeling that I am a little baby who nestles, nestles within—what to call it?—a Divine Consciousness ... all-embracing.
