July 8, 1970
(Mother looks tired. Her face is still swollen.)
Difficult moments …
(long contemplation till the end)
Do you have anything to ask?… (To Sujata:) And you?
You know, Mother, it’s very strange, three nights in a row, I
dreamed of you and of food.
Did you feed me?
I fed you, or else I looked for food, or I prepared some.
How did you feed me?… Did you give me things to eat? Or you fed me like a baby?!
No, the first time, you were lying down, thirsty, there were many
people and no one did anything….
(Mother nods her head)
And I told someone to go and get some pomegranate juice…. [[The pomegranate tree is the symbol of Divine Love; Mother called the fruit "Divine Love Spreading over the World." ]]
(Mother smiles
and plunges in again)
