Additional information

Surrender of all falsehood

I brought you a flower from the garden: "Surrender of Falsehood."

Oh!...

(Mother immediately takes the flower and puts it on her forehead, where she holds it a long time, silently)

I take it in the largest and most profound sense....

(silence)

Look.... As I understand it, when Falsehood is gone (even in a single person - when not a vestige remains...), there must be Light, Peace... (Mother stretches her arms out)... Vastness... perfect understanding... the TRUE vision of our world and things, and union, a conscious union with the divine Consciousness.
