Part Three (1958 - 73)




June 29, 1963

(Pope John XXIII died on June 2; his successor was Paul VI.)

Catholicism has two things that Protestantism lacks: the occult sense (not only the sense, but even a certain occult knowledge), and the Mother—the Virgin. The Protestants have something the Catholics lack: the inner divine presence.

It's only through those two things that you can catch them. But

He [John XXIII] was a good man.... I think his foremost idea was to prevent war. Consciously, he wanted all Christians to love each other! (Mother laughs) A childish hope. To love each other in Jesus—whom they leave on the cross.

As Sri Aurobindo says, men ... men LOVE grief, which is why Jesus is still nailed on the cross.32

It's magnificent, that thing.

(After a silence) With the others, the Communists, it's the opposite: they want everyone to be happy, but they have succeeded in making everyone unhappy! Everyone: previously, a few were happy and many unhappy; now they're all unhappy!

That's what they call "serious matters."
