April 7, 1971

We need a message for the Darshan of the 24th.

(after a silence)

I don't know if it's any good.... It's my experiences these last few days.

(Mother writes with her eyes closed)

Human blindness is such
that many people
expect to attain the Truth
while keeping the habit of lying.

At least 4 or 5 people around me are lying -- lying to me! Just these last few days.

Shall I put that?... You're not happy!

Oh yes, yes! I completely agree.... Because Falsehood has

many levels. [[Satprem was thinking of the subconscious level. ]]

Page 82


Well, anyway I say "the habit of lying," I don't say "the Falsehood."

Yes, Mother, I know, I was speaking for myself!

(Mother laughs) What I say there concerns the crudest of all levels: they lie to me to get me to do certain things. Just these last few days. And it's so spontaneous on their part that they don't even realize that I am going to find out.

The first case was M. [[See previous conversation. It is in reference to this man that Mother said, "You have to be very thick-skinned to lie to my face." ]]

If I give this message, they'll think, "Oh, well, there are 'many,' so it doesn't matter!" (laughter) They always twist things around like that!

I could put it another way:

It is imperative not to tell
lies when one aspires
to the Truth.

People will say, "Oh, that's obvious!"

Well, it isn't so obvious at all!

But they do it just the same.

I can say:

Needless to say that
those who aspire to
Truth must abstain from
telling lies. [[This version will be adopted for the message of April 24. ]]
It's the lies of the lower nature that are difficult to ... dispel.

(Mother nods her head) Yes, but that has nothing to do with "telling lies."

Lying is always the sign of a lack of courage. A refusal to face the situation as it is.

(Mother goes back within,
long contemplation)

Page 83


Nothing to ask?

(Sujata slips a note to Satprem:
"Is India doing okay?")

What is India doing, Mother?

I received some news from Indira, who told me that they're sending all the help they can up there [to Bangladesh]. They are taking a very positive position. But she says that the outcome will probably be war with Pakistan, and maybe even with China -- they're expecting it.

That's good! Let the Falsehood burst open!

You know that they had asked my advice? And I told them that they had to help urgently [[On April 3, Mother sent a written message to Indira. ]] (that letter was hand-delivered to her). And her answer was brought back to me. She said she agreed, that they were already doing it: even medical assistance and everything. They're sending everything. But West Pakistan wrote to Russia ... (Mother tries to recall). They're angry [Russia?], because they had advised them not to start a war, and the advice was not followed. So now they say [the Pakistanis]: India had better not help because ... that would mean war. And Russia sent this information to India. And China has clearly taken a position for Pakistan.

So it may get very nasty.

It has to be straightened out once and for all, Mother.

Both England and America are still like this (vacillating gesture).

For them it's Pakistan's "internal affair."

Yes.

But it seems to me that India is too slow in taking an effective

 stand to recognize the country.

Oh, it was done these last few days. Already two or three days ago....

Page 84


??... I'm speaking of the official recognition of the government

of Bangladesh.

There isn't any government.

But they said there is a government -- a provisional government.

When did they say that?

Already at least 5 or 6 days ago.

Yes, but the man [Sheikh Mujibur] has been made a prisoner -- and tortured into the bargain, to make him say what he doesn't want to say.[[To coerce him publicly to abjure the independence of Bengal. ]]

It's horrible, mon petit!

Oh, yes.

(silence)

But I feel that the more India procrastinates or beats around

 the bush, the more difficult the situation will become for her.

Oh, but it's over, she's not procrastinating anymore.

Yes, except that she doesn't want to recognize the government of Bengal officially.

Yes, she does.

??

They have even helped to form it.

!?

That was these past few days -- the news hasn't come out yet. I get news that hasn't come out.

(silence)

It's far more serious than it seems.

Page 85


Yes, Mother.

(silence)

But, Mother, I have the feeling India is the symbol of the

 world's battle and the new Consciousness cannot be established

 in the world so long as India has not regained her unity.

Yes.

(silence)

It's obvious that India is the symbol of the New World in for

mation, so India must be "one," symbolically, in order for the

 New World to see the light of day....

Yes.

Consequently Pakistan has to disappear. [[Satprem does not mean the physical liquidation of Pakistan, of course, but the disappearance of the artificial separation created by the British in order to "divide and rule." It should be recalled that for centuries the Muslims lived in perfect harmony with the Hindus, until the day in 1947 when Downing Street decided otherwise, playing on the political ambitions of some Indians eager to have their share of power. ]]

But of course!

There's no doubt about that. So this must be the time.

But they've already missed one chance. [[In 1965, with the infamous cease-fire and the Tashkent surrender. ]]

Yes, they've already missed one chance. But now ... they

shouldn't miss this one.

(silence)

But India herself is divided.

Divided?

Yes, in Orissa, for example. A large part of Orissa is entirely under Sri Aurobindo's influence, and another part is in revolt.... N.S. has relentless enemies there. She was elected there, but she has relentless enemies -- India herself is divided.

Page 86


(silence)

It's serious. [[The tape recorder failed right at this moment, while this was precisely the passage Satprem wanted most to record. So he hastily scribbled down Mother's words as she spoke. ]]

Such an ardent faith would be needed ... but ... (gesture of something crumbling into dust between her fingers).

You see, the Force is so active.... Lies that have gone on for years are becoming visible here too -- the mixture is everywhere.

Such a ... such a force of truth would be needed, you know, a force that would be great enough to overcome all that.

(silence)

For me, Victory is certain, but I don't know if it's tomorrow or ... (gesture into the distance).

I don't know what road we will take to get there.

Victory is certain, that's obvious, but what road are we going to take to get there?

And it very much depends on our individual position; that's what they don't understand. We must cling, cling so tightly to the Truth that nothing can touch us.

(silence)

It always comes back to the same thing: "What You will, Lord, what You will."

But that has become formidable.
