Manifestation of the Divine

March 1968

Bonjour!

Bonjour, Douce Mère.

Do you have the notebook?

Mother, today I have brought the calendar of prayers.

Oh! the prayers? . . . for the month of March?

Yes, Mother.

Give it to me.

(Mother reads the two previous prayers and looks at the painting for March; it has a staircase, with ‘Progress’ ²⁶ flowers at the bottom of the stairs and of a sprig of ‘Harmony in the Vital ²⁷ at the top.)

Is it Chanda who has done this?

Yes, Mother.

Hmm! Good. Here . . . it is this which has given me . . . it is good as a subject. I will write here:

Pas à pas nous gravirons
les marches qui conduisent
à la Vérité

La Mère

Step by step we shall climb
the stairs leading
to the Truth.

The Mother

It is all right. Tell her it is well done and I have written here — “we shall climb”, not you alone but we shall climb, she also, by these stairs to the Truth. You understand, it is we — everyone — it is for everyone to climb this way to the Truth . . . it is good.

Like this, step by step, we shall climb.

It is well done. It is a good idea.
