*12-9-1988, Auroville:
I attended the general meeting at the Banyan tree this evening. Fred, K.T and Al.B
shared some of their experience in Delhi around the passing of the Foundation Bill,
and conveyed messages from Kireet and CPN Singh; they were asked a number of
questions, but they don’t seem to actually know that much beyond the available
text of the Bill itself, not how the Government is going to proceed in the near future
in order to enact it…
*14-9-1988, Auroville:
I am still very reluctant to accept what happens – the validity of whatever progress
one may make - when one is constantly with others; this is a far-reaching question
to which I have yet to find a convincing answer. Certainly it is useful in the sense
that one is obliged to draw resources from within or from above, and must present
to the Light a greater diversity of aspects and evolutive angles… But I still tend to
believe that the test of the Presence, of the incarnation, is clearer in isolation, free
from constant interactions – rather than amidst others when the matter of time is
much worse an obstacle, when there is no time to assimilate and to offer…
*15-9-1988, Auroville:
Douce Mère, je T’aime ; mais de le dire cause comme une séparation : c’est
infiniment plus simple, plus direct, plus entier que cela…
*19-9-1988, Auroville:
There was an interesting talk with R this evening, which came about in answer to
his many questions and comments, interesting because I had to seek and open to a
formulation that would concern him, and it brought me to a new discovery or
understanding of the Experience, and the atmosphere was changed, and I felt
grateful…
*2O-9-1988, Auroville:
It was Ar.’s birthday today, and this evening we went to the beach, C riding with
me and R with Ar., after the work. I swam and relaxed in the rough sea; later, C
and I stayed behind: she is so very beautiful, more beautiful every year, as she
grows and stands more revealed…
*25-9-1988, Auroville:
Su and I took C and R to the airport this afternoon. R was, as usual, impatient and
restless, and it wasn’t easy to be waiting with them there till we could usher them
past the customs and see that everything was cleared; it took three hours and the
parting had to be offered: C did well, my sweet one!
… I must finish “Ravena”, and B’s house; it will take me several more weeks.
And then?
But You will show me…!
