India - the Mother

October 17, 1964

(On October 15, Khrushchev was ousted. The next day, October 16, China exploded its first atomic bomb.)

Yes, what is this "resignation" of Khrushchev going to do?

It looks serious. It would seem to be a revolt....

Does it mean a regression?

Oh, a VIOLENT regression.

It's serious.

Things were on the mend between America and Russia (at China's expense! It was very funny).

This is going to demolish everything.

(After a silence) You get an impression (it's precisely the impression I bring back from those activities of the night), the impression of a building cracking—all over. Exactly like just before the collapse: it cracks all over.

Besides, if you ... take a look and wonder, "What's going to happen?"—a black hole, you can't see anything. And when I say, "What's going to happen?" I don't mean what's going to happen on earth, but through what combination of circumstances or sequence of events is the new creation going to take place?

There is an entire part of the earth's past history that, ultimately, is totally unknown to us. They have indeed made so-called discoveries, but ... all those stories, I don't know how much of them is true.

Have they really discovered? I don't know. Do you?

We probably know a little bit of history starting from a particular cataclysm. But how many cataclysms have there been?...

Yes, how many cataclysms have there been?

Now, for great upheavals men want to do without Nature's help. It seems that five nations have atomic bombs, and the bombs of just one of those nations are enough to ... vrrf! destroy the earth. So if all this (because it's new, after all) suddenly gets out of control ... They don't know how long these things can remain in waiting: if all at once they start exploding—can you see that! (laughing) In all the countries, all the bombs going off at the same time!

Poor earth.

It's worse than a Deluge. All in all, the ways of the earth were more gentle, Nature was more reasonable.

... The historical period is very short. Already, as it is, it's very uncertain, but very short.

Perhaps the conscious effort of the Vedas came after thousands and thousands of years of research, studies, civilizations that didn't leave any trace? Because they have more or less calculated the time of the coming of man on the earth—a few million years, no? How much?

One million, I think. ⁴¹

Out of that million, we know 5,000 years, you see that! Poor little ball! How vain we are! We think we know everything.
