3.4 The work on the physical body – Reports of The Mother about her experiences and discoveries in the years 1950 to 1973 (3)

11th December 1968: „The body is something very, very simple and very childlike, and it has that experience so imperatively, you understand, it doesn't need to "seek": it just has to stop its activity for a minute and . . . it's there. So then, it wonders why people haven't been aware of that since the beginning? It wonders, "Why, why have they sought all kinds of things—religions, gods ... all kinds of things—when it's so simple!" So simple, for the body it's so simple, so self­evident.

All those constructions—religions, philosophies ... all those constructions—are a need of the mind to . . . "play the game." It wants to play the game well. While the body is so simple, so sim­ple, so obvious! So obvious, so simple: "Why," it wonders, "Why, why have they been seeking all kinds of complications ... when it's so simple?" The very fact of saying, "The Divine is deep within you" . . . (it remembers its own experience, you understand) is so complicated, while it's so simple!”

28th December 1968: “The nature of time is changing. A type of intensity of consciousness is changing the value of time.“

18th January 1969: "There is in it a consciousness (something VERY precious) that gives lessons to the body, teaches it what it has to do, that is, the attitude it should have, the reaction it should have.... I had already 

 

told you a few times how difficult it is to find the procedure of the transformation when there's no one to give you indications; and it's the response, as it were: "he" comes and tells the body, "Have this attitude, do this, do that in that way." So then the body is happy, it's quite reassured, it can't make a mistake anymore.”

15th February 1969: „There is something wholly independent of our aspiration, our will, our effort ... wholly independent. And this something appears to be absolutely all-powerful, in the sense that none of the body's diffi­culties exists. At such times, everything disappears. Aspiration, concentration, effort ... no use at all. And it's the DIVINE SENSE, you understand, that's what having the divine sense means. And then, this body, that body, that other body ... (gesture here and there, all around Mother), it doesn't matter: it moved about from one body to another, quite free and independent, aware of the limi­tations or the possibilities of each body—absolutely wonderful, I had never, ever had this experience before.”

19th February 1969: „But now the body has learned to be ab-so-lute-ly indifferent to those reactions—absolutely. It smiles. It smiles with this benevolent Smile [of the superman conscious­ness], it has the same smile. And it sees, it knows, it senses where that [the worry or the "haste"] comes from, it's thoroughly conscious.”
