(Mother gives Satprem this note)

"No human will can finally prevail against the Divine's will.

"Let us put ourselves deliberately and exclusively on the side of the Divine and the victory is ultimately certain."

Strange how human nature resists that. Ordinary human nature is such that it prefers defeat with its own will to victory in another way. I am making amazing discoveries these days—just amazing.

Human stupidity is abysmal. Abysmal.

The Force seems to be going like this (gesture of drilling), deeper and deeper, towards the subconscient. There are incredible things in the subconscient—incredible. I spend entire nights seeing them. And it goes down and down ... IMPERATIVELY.

So the human subconscient cries out, "Oh, not yet, not yet—not so fast!" And that's what we have to fight against. It's a general subconscient.

Naturally, the resistance brings about catastrophes, but then people tell you, "See! See how your action is beneficent—it brings about catastrophes." Unbelievable, unbelievably stupid.

Ah, we don't have faith! The moment one has faith ...

We say, "We want divine life"—but we're afraid of it! The moment the fear disappears and we are sincere ... really, everything changes.

We say, "We want nothing more of this life," but ... (laughing) something in us clings to it!

Yes!

It's so ridiculous.

We cling to our old ideas, our old ... to this old world which must disappear—we're afraid!

... For me, the best remedy (I mean the easiest) is: what You will—what You will, in all sincerity. In all sincerity. And then—then understanding comes. Then you understand. But you don't understand mentally, not here (Mother touches her head).

What You will.
