It seems something that has started must be the onrush of the new species, the new creation, a terrestrial reorganisation. It is not that we have reached the end; we are on the other side. The body wouldn’t care if it is dissolved or it lives, but it cannot accept the state in which it is. That is impossible. The vital and the mental are sent away so that the physical is truly left to its own resources, all by itself, all by itself. It is the physical that puts the questions: “Do they know how Matter was formed? do they know since when the earth existed? do they say there was a beginning? do they know since when man came into existence?” But there was the powerful and prolonged penetration of supramental forces into the body, everywhere at the same time. “It came all of a sudden, as though there was nothing but a supramental atmosphere; there was nothing but that. And my body was within it. That continued for at least four or five hours. And there was only one part that was hardly penetrated: there, it had a grey and dull look, as though the current penetrated less there. But apart from that, all the rest, all... it entered and entered and entered... I never saw anything like it, never! It lasted for hours and hours, altogether consciously.” The body began to be interested in all that. The perception of the Presence is constant and associated with all states of consciousness, whatever they are. “Ah! I became aware that the cells, everywhere like this, all the time, all the time were repeating their Mantra, all the time, all the time. And the Mantra is repeated spontaneously and automatically in a kind of ‘fluid’ peace. It is for this, well, one cannot say that it was suffering, one cannot say that it was ill; this is not possible, not possible.”
