Apropos of the Exhibition of Savitri Paintings by Huta, 10 February 1967, here is a letter from Shyam Sunder Jhunjhunwala to the Mother:

 

Mother,

The Savitri-exhibition is full of images of Savitri, the ascension of the being, the descent of the divinity, and the play of the Divine that radiates light, equally beautiful and powerful, that gives the sense that I am close to you. Is this my imagination or is it true?

 

It is absolutely true and I am happy you have seen it.

 

Blessings.

 

[13 February 1967]



Mother,

In my perception the push the Mother gives me towards the transformation of my banality and my mediocrity, I recollect the phrase from Savitri:

 

All can be done if the god-touch is there.

(Savitri, p. 3)

 

Once one has the contact with the divine consciousness, then mediocrity of the outer being becomes evident, but the promise of Savitri is true and will be realized.

 

[28 October 1968]



Mother,

Each time I come to you I must make it an occasion for making progress towards the goal.

 

Aswapathy is pretty fortunate because for him

 

Each day was a spiritual romance…

Each happening was a deep experience.

(Savitri, pp. 34-35)

 

The possibility is open to all in whom the aspiration is fervent. Persevere and you will have the experience.

 

[1 November 1968]



All that transpires on earth and all beyond

Are parts of an illimitable plan

The One keeps in his heart and knows alone.

(Savitri, p. 52)

 

One who unites himself with the One, does he know the plan?

 

In the measure where it is necessary for execution, Yes; and depending upon the need, but not at once in its integrality.

 

[13 March 1969]



In the context of what had happened on the 1st January [1969] the following lines from Savitri become more significant:

 

The superman shall wake in mortal man

And manifest the hidden demi-god

Or grow into the God-light and God-force

Revealing the secret deity in the cave.

(Savitri, p. 705-06)

 

Yes, without doubt that will happen.

 

[18 April 1969]



When “the mortal eyes plunge their look into the other eyes which contemplate eternity”, then one finds one’s native country.

 

That is to say, the Divine origin. That is true—you become a poet in your expression.

 

[28 September 1969]
