The Mother

Agenda

Volume 10

March 29, 1969

Have you received any news of P.L.?

Yes. You know that he was supposed to arrive today. Then he sends this wire: “Impossible to leave. Letter follows. Situation difficult.”

Oho!... I hope they haven't put him in jail.

They can't. But they can put him on trial for heresy.

Yes .... “On trial for heresy”!...

(long silence)

Was it you who told me that the Pope had invited a sadhu from India?

Yes.

But the Pope too is on trial for heresy! Since he told the sadhu that true spirituality is now found in India – so he too is a heretic!

But the Pope is isolated. He told that sadhu that his task is very difficult in view of the people around him. He is isolated in there. He is surrounded by a mafia of cardinals who are attached to power.

What I mean is that the Pope and P.L. are guilty of the same heresy! So if they put P.L. on trial, it's like putting the Pope on trial – will they dare to do it?

But no one knows that the Pope and PL. have some relationship. P.L. has never been able to meet the Pope personally.

He has never been able...

No, never, he has always been prevented. It's a... rigorous mafia.

(Mother goes into a trance and keeps working inwardly till the end)

Should I wire or write something to P.L.?

I don't know.

(silence)

If they're watching him, they will get hold of his mail. That could put him in trouble.

If they do something against him, they have innumerable ways of getting hold of his mail. We shouldn't make problems for him.

It's better to wait for his letter.
