August 11, 1971

(Mother gives Satprem a note she has just written.)

"When men become disgusted with the falsehood they live in, then the world will be ready for the reign of Truth."

* * *

(Then another note she had had read to K.K. Birla, one of India's foremost industrialists.)

"Truth is within men's reach,
but they care nothing about Truth."

* * *

You have something to say?

What is happening right now?

(Mother sits with her eyes closed,
tries several times to speak, then

goes back within until the end)

You have nothing else to say?

How do you see that pact? [[The Indo-Russian pact which has just been signed in Delhi by Gromyko and Swaran Singh. This is also the time of Mujibur's trial in Pakistan. ]]

(Mother shakes her hands vigorously,
then after a silence)

It's as if you asked me, "What will it take for humanity to become disgusted with its falsehood?"

It's terrible!

(long silence)

There is only ONE remedy -- there is only ONE remedy -- to rely only on the Divine Grace.

(Mother takes Satprem's hands)

The only remedy: to put oneself entirely in the hands of the Divine Grace.
