Mother You said so ...

20 June 1964

Here several people arc gossiping and tell many lies—even they use my name and tell many things. Do not believe what they say because they do not tell the truth.

They imagine many things, they make stories and spread things all around without any basis.

I tell you: Never listen to these people—even if they tell you 'The Mother says this or that...' Just keep quiet and answer, ‘I am not interested in the talk...'

There are only a handful of people who are really honest, sincere and have goodwill. The rest, well, they make a mess of themselves by gossiping and they remain as they are!

As a matter of fact, I do not really care what people say, think or imagine. I am untouched by falsehood. I ask you not to listen to them."

I asked the Mother, "How then can these people be transformed when they are as they are?"

The Mother said.

This is the question—everything depends on them—it is up to them. People think they know much more than the Lord does. But Sri Aurobindo wrote in one of His books:

"The Power that governs the world is at least as wise as you and it is not absolutely necessary that you should be consulted or indulged in its management, God is seeing to it."
