(From Mother to Satprem)
Satprem, my dear little child,
Here is your second letter. I didn't answer the first one because of my eye, which needed complete rest. Now it's better. But I immediately asked Sujata to write you that I'd rather not have my photo published in the book, and that regarding Sri Aurobindo's, the first one seemed to me the best.1 Now, if the contract is signed, there is nothing to add.
Yesterday, the 24th, there was a meditation.2 It was intense and formulated itself thus:
“Suffocated by the shallowness of the human nature, we aspire to the knowledge that truly knows, the power that truly can, the love that truly loves.”
The words are poor; the experience was strong.
I am with you always, in love and joy.
Signed: Mother
