(Satprem reads the second part of chapter 10, "The Harmony.")

"... When the gaze changes, one can rebuild, the world."

(Mother opens her eyes wide

 and plunges in again till the end)

It's extraordinary! There is a sort of ... a sort of EMOTION in it, which doesn't belong to this world. It puts you into contact with a certain ... I don't know what to call it, but it's like an emotion [[Mother does look moved. ]] which is beyond the mind - beyond everything, everything, not only the mind but the intellectual.

Its a new emotion. I can't describe. It's strange. And every time it does the same thing, every time I say to myself, "I'll be very careful to follow and see" - and ... I try to keep my consciousness in its natural state, but then IN SPITE OF MYSELF, it's something that ... It's like a magic, mon petit!

It's something like emotion, but an emotion that knows, an emotion that understands. It's not a thought. It's really interesting. And every time, it becomes increasingly conscious; every time, I say to myself, "This time, I won't let myself get caught!" (laughter) But this time, I was more conscious of what it was.... And it's a new thing which is beyond the mind, the intellectual and the whole comprehension, and it's a way of being that ... (I don't know what to call it), it's something like an emotion, but very clear and VERY conscious.

And strong! It has an extraordinary force.

It's really interesting.

How many are left?

There are six left. This is the tenth.

Maybe at the end I will know!

It's really interesting.

And it has a strange power to transform things.... You understand, for me the Satprem of this book isn't the same Satprem as before. Everything takes on a ... a new appearance, I don't know - a new contact.

It's interesting.

So I have another six times to go! I wait for it with ... It's really like a new creation, like a new world brought into contact with here.

(silence)

And it's beyond persons. There is no ego.

Yes.

It's beyond persons. There is something else - something else.

(Mother closes her eyes)

And it doesn't leave me, that atmosphere no longer leaves me. For all the things that come, the way of responding is no longer the same. [[Regrettably, Satprem did not keep any of the tape-recordings of Mother about On the Way to Supermanhood, finding them too personal at the time. He still had enough "person" not to want anything "personal." ]]
