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)
