Part Three (1958 - 73)




December 4, 1971

(On December 2, after Pakistan warplanes bombed several Indian airfields, India launched a general offensive against the Pakistani troops.)

So they've declared war.

Yes, it's done.

It began, yes, yesterday.

The ministers in Delhi have prepared a brochure on Sri Aurobindo, and they've asked me for a message. I sent this:

"Sri Aurobindo came to announce to the world a glorious future and opened the door to its realization."

[After a silence] Will they go to the end this time, withou stopping halfway?

Don't know ... It seems serious.

We get news from the front, from a general who is at the front.

... The trouble is that India's rulers have not yet admitted in their consciousness that India is ONE; they have not yet admitted the non-existence of Pakistan, that's the trouble.

(Mother nods her head, then goes into a contemplation.)
