The Mother

Agenda

Volume 10

March 8, 1969

There's a note from Monsignor R.1 First he asks, “May I request you to ask Mother to assist me these next few weeks in a special way?...

Does he believe in it?!

Yes, he does!

Bah!...

Do you have his photo?

Not here.

Did you show it to me already?... Yes, then it's all right, it's useful to establish the contact.

Then he sends another note. In Rome they had the visit of Swami Z, and our friend P.L. had lunch with him (because they took the Swami to see the Pope, he had an audience with the Pope), they had lunch together and, writes Msgr. R., “The Swami declared himself very happy about the audience with the Pope. He was able to give one of his books to the Holy Father, who told him (in English) that he liked India very much, that he thanked him for his spiritual work undertaken for the good of humanity, and encouraged him to pursue his mission. The Pope gave him a papal medal, and even added that he had great difficulty in developing his spirituality owing to his present entourage ....

Oh, this is interesting!... It's interesting.

There are a few more lines: “The Swami is convinced that if the Pope weren't obliged to remain in Rome to fulfill the functions imposed on him, he would surely go to India in search of illumination.”

It's interesting.

(long silence)

This Consciousness isn't working only here ....

It's good.
