The 'psychological preparation' of Satprem for his role as The Mother's confidant, as She narrated her experiences of the 'yoga of the cells' from 1951-1973.
This first volume is mostly what could be called the "psychological preparation" of Satprem. Mother's confidant had to be prepared, not only to understand the evolutionary meaning of Mother's discoveries, to follow the tenuous thread of man's great future unravelled through so many apparently disconcerting experiences - which certainly required a steady personal determination for more than 19 years! - but also, in a way, he had to share the battle against the many established forces that account for the present human mode of being and bear the onslaught of the New Force. Satprem - "True Love" - as Mother called him, was a reluctant disciple. Formed in the French Cartesian mold, a freedom fighter against the Nazis and in love with his freedom, he was always ready to run away, and always coming back, drawn by a love greater than his love for freedom. Slowly she conquered him, slowly he came to understand the poignant drama of this lone and indomitable woman, struggling in the midst of an all-too-human humanity in her attempt to open man's golden future. Week after week, privately, she confided to him her intimate experiences, the progress of her endeavour, the obstacles, the setbacks, as well as anecdotes of her life, her hopes, her conquests and laughter: she was able to be herself with him. He loved her and she trusted him. It is that simple.
Hier oben, angefangen beim Zentrum zwischen den Augenbrauen, ist die Arbeit getan, seit langer Zeit. Es ist weiß. Seit Zeitaltern und Zeitaltern besteht die Vereinigung mit dem Höchsten, ständig.
Unterhalb dieses Zentrums liegt der Körper. Und dieser Körper hat wohl das konkrete Gefühl des Göttlichen, in jeder seiner Zellen; was aber noch getan werden muß, ist diesen Körper zu universalisieren. Darin besteht die Arbeit, ein Zentrum nach dem anderen. Ich verstehe, was Sri Aurobindo meinte, wenn er wiederholte: "Werdet weit." All das muß universalisiert werden; das ist die Voraussetzung, die Grundlage, damit das Supramental in den Körper herabkommen kann.
In den alten Überlieferungen wurde diese Universalisierung des physischen Körpers als die höchste Verwirklichung angesehen, doch sie ist nur eine Grundlage, die Grundlage, damit das Supramental herabkommen kann, ohne alles zu zerbrechen.
