be sincere, perhaps in a more childlike way, and to go deeper inside. I want to
chase away every fear.
*12-2-1977, Auroville:
Let the people feel important if they want!
My path isn’t that; my “dharma” is to become, to change, a true change in the
substance.
Everything always shows me that You don’t want me to be in any position or to be
in front of anything or to take any particular outer function. You just want me to
offer my whole being to You, so that You can transform all the obscurity and give

*12-3-1977, Auroville:
Yesterday I have suddenly realised that all the pains and the difficulties and
resistances and inertia and blockages I am experiencing since almost the beginning
of this life are just the very pains that the evolutionary Force is experiencing, but
individualized, limited, given a face and a name. And I opened the last Bulletin and
found the words of Sri Aurobindo on the pains of evolution…!

possibility, a waste or a ruin, a blank, nonsense.
Everything is ready it seems for the concreting: it went so fast, I don’t understand,
I hope it’s true. It looks straight, like a necessity of Yours or one step of Your
unknowable Rhythm.
At 2.15 pm, go to Matrimandir, for the pouring of the next section of the South
West wall. We finish at 6.15 pm. Still I feel this restlessness, impurity, opacity…
After dinner J.C comes in to say: “Satprem is going away!”…
I don’t accept this; we have to stand up. To-morrow I’ll go see the people, see what
we can do…
*15-5-1977, Auroville:
Right after breakfast I start for “Sharnga”. My two ideas are: Satprem comes to
Auroville, we guard him; people of “Aspiration” start making arrangements near the
Centre… B.B tells me of his meeting with Satprem yesterday and how it was
announced that he and Sujata would leave on the 17th and how Satprem said that
everything was in Mother’s hands, he was surrendered, Her child, and that we were
