(A disciple has written an article on the Ashram’s future in

 which she said in particular, "The Ashram will become an occult

 center, a select collectivity….")

I am not at all anxious for advertisement or publicity for the Ashram. It’s not necessary at all.

It’s not necessary to talk about the Ashram – (laughing) the true way to make it “occult” is not to talk about it!

I saw P.L.

I also saw J.’s children, [[J. is PL.'s friend. ]] and the boy told me, “I want to be your warrior to conquer and defend the Truth.”

Very sweet, this little boy, very sweet!

As for him [P.L.], it’s mostly imagination. There are occult troubles, but …

But as soon as he thinks of it [the Vatican], his face tenses. So I told him not to think about it anymore, not to bother about it anymore – nothing, to leave that for … an uncertain future. To stop bothering about it. And when he is told to stop bothering about it, his face becomes all smiles!
