The
Mother on Pavitra 14 September
1971
(ZZ's visit to Mother. The day before, ZZ had gone to
the Cazanove gardens, in the suburbs of Pondicherry, to see
the tombstones of Pavitra and Amrita.)
ZZ: Yesterday I went to visit Cazanove.
Mother: Oh, why?
ZZ: To see
Amritada and Pavitrada.... You know, nothing has been done,
no work until now to cover the tombs, in two years.
Mother: How are they?
They
are covered with "Sri Aurobindo's Compassion," and
near the head, there is a slightly broken pot with "new
creation," and near the feet a pot of "devotion,"[[Portulaca,
tuberose, and basil. ]] the same for both.... I found that very
nice, but nothing has been done.
Mother: I've never heard Pavitra complain about it! (laughter)
I see Pavitra very often, almost every night. Maybe he likes
it
that
way. Even last night I saw him: he was in Japan. When did they
leave?
ZZ: Amritada
left on January 31, 1969 and Pavitrada in May, May 16.
Mother: Oh, Pavitra left after.
You know, time and me....
Pavitra is here, he's very active, he stays near me, I see him
very often. Amrita I don't see that much. Pavitra was absorbed
into me and I put him back into a form little by little, and
when he was completely formed, I brought him out and he stays
very close here.
ZZ: What
does he do?
Mother: He meets people, he does all sorts of things.
ZZ: What
work does he do?
Mother: He meets people, talks, but he's here, he hasn't left
the earth's atmosphere. Amrita left to rest; Pavitra is here,
in
the subtle
physical - that's where Sri Aurobindo is and it's a physical
that has a strong tendency to materialize.
We'll see....
