The Mother

Correspondence (1933-1967)

Prithwi Singh — Mother

(Written at the time of the Six-Day War.)

Ma douce Mère,

... The war in the Middle East is perhaps a direct result of the resistance to the Supramental working.

It seems, in Sri Aurobindo's words, that “Rudra still holds the world in the hollow of his hands.”¹

In this connection I would like to know what attitude one should keep with regard to this developing Arab-Israel war. Whether our thoughts should be on the Israeli side or otherwise. Or we should be indifferent to the victory of either if none incarnates the Divine in its fight. In any case, I am sure it will not affect the realisation, as the Mother had once written to me, “Nothing can delay the inevitable Realisation.”

Prithwi Singh

Those who serve the Truth cannot take one side or another.

Truth is above conflict and opposition.

In Truth all countries unite in a common effort towards progress and {{0}}realisation.²
