Part Three (1958 - 73)




March 12, 1969

These last few days, there were elections here [in Pondicherry] (an awful mess), and I was put in contact with all that.... And there was a whole series of very interesting experiences. There was a very acute sense of all the conventionality in -political parties, because under a single political flag there are the most opposite opinions, each one in the name of the same principle! So it became so clear, so clear!... And then I saw to what extent it's really an illusion—a complete illusion; politics is something ... in the name of the same principle, people do absolutely opposite things! In the name of the same political principle. Everyone is anxious that HIS party should have the upper hand—and it appeared to me that it didn't, matter in the least! It was only people's quality of receptivity that mattered, and also their level of consciousness. As far as the party was concerned—anything.
