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.
(Brief von Satprem an Mutter)
Hyderabad, 13. April 1960
Liebe Mutter,
Mein Freund hier gab mir ein Buch "Tempelritter und Alchimist", über die Gruppe, der er sich in Frankreich anschließen will - auch sie behaupten, die Verwandlung der Materie zu suchen, und verkünden das Ende des "Homo sapiens" und die Schöpfung des Übermenschen.
Es eilt mir, in Deiner Nähe zu sein und an dem Buch über Sri Aurobindo zu arbeiten - ich möchte meine ganze Seele dahinein geben und, mit Deinem Segen, etwas Leuchtendes daraus machen.
Liebe Mutter, ich bin Dein Kind, ich will immer vollkommener Dir gehören.
Mit Liebe,
Satprem

Mein liebes Kind,
Gestern erhielt ich Deinen Brief vom 13. April; die Briefe brauchen lange von Hyderabad.
Du sprichst von dem Buch über Sri Aurobindo; auch ich wäre froh, wenn wir diese Arbeit zusammen tun.
Gestern war der Tag der Verteilung. Ich lege sechs Taschentücher in den Umschlag, für Dich und wenn Du welche verschenken willst. Ich lege auch die Botschaft für den 24. April dazu.
Immer bei Dir, in der Liebe und der Freude.
Mutter
