The Mother

Agenda

Volume 5

July 25, 1964

(After reading Sri Aurobindo's “Hour of God” in front of a microphone for the Ashram people:)

...I don't know why they wanted me to read this – it's something quite terrible... quite terrible.

For December 1st they've organized an entire performance at the Theater, with recitation, dances, tableaux vivants, to illustrate it [The Hour of God].

When things happen in that way, I always take them as organized by the Divine for the general progress. Rarely does there come a precise indication: “No.” When it's “no,” it's categorical. But I always see (Mother draws in the air movements of forces) that things move with a very supple movement: they seem to be heading here (gesture to the left), but it's in order to go there (gesture to the right); they seem to be going this way (curve to the right), but it's in order to get there (gesture to the left) — all the time.
