have passed to the other side — people don't understand, they
shoo them away: 'What does he want? Why does he bother
me? He's dead!'
Conversation with a disciple, June 24, 1961

The change is done
I see now, I see how his departure and his work so... so vast,
yes, and so constant, in the subtle physical, how much, how
much it has helped! How much it has (Mother makes a gesture of
kneading Matter) helped to prepare things, to change the physi-
cal structure.
All the experiences that others have had, which were in or-
der to come in contact with the higher worlds, left here below
the physical as it is.... How to say it? From the beginning of my
life till Sri Aurobindo's departure, I was in the consciousness
that one can go up, one can know, one can have all the experi-
ences (indeed, one did have them), but when one came back
into this body... it was the old mental laws, formidable, which
ruled things. And then, all these years have been years of prepa-
ration — preparation — liberation and preparation, and these
days now it has been... ah! the physical recognition, made by
the body, that it has changed.
It has to be "worked out", as it is said, it has to be realised
in all the details, but the change is done — the change is done.
CWM 11 : 229 The Mother

My soul and his indissolubly linked
In the one task for which our lives were born,
To raise the world to God in deathless Light,
To bring God down to the world on earth we came,
To change the earthly life to life divine.
Sri Aurobindo
