about into the inmates of the Ashram. This period was spread over
about ten months, between end of 1926 and of 1927.)

Sri Aurobindo had given me charge of the outer work because
he wanted to withdraw into concentration in order to hasten the
manifestation of the supramental consciousness and he had an-
nounced to the few people who were there that he was entrusting
to me the work of helping and guiding them, that I would remain
in contact with him, naturally, and that through me he would do
the work. Suddenly, immediately, things took a certain shape: a
very brilliant creation was worked out in extraordinary detail, with
marvellous experiences, contacts with divine beings, and all kinds
of manifestations which are considered miraculous. Experiences
followed one upon another, and, well, things were unfolding alto-
gether brilliantly and... I must say, in an extremely interesting way.
One day, I went as usual to relate to Sri Aurobindo what had
been happening — we had come to something really very interest-
ing, and perhaps I showed a little enthusiasm in my account of
what had taken place — then Sri Aurobindo looked at me... and
said: “Yes, this is an Overmind creation. It is very interesting, very
well done. You will perform miracles which will make you famous
throughout the world, you will be able to turn all events on earth
topsy-turvy, indeed,...” and then he smiled and said: “It will be a
great success. But it is an Overmind creation. And it is not success
that we want; we want to establish the Supermind on earth. One
must know how to renounce immediate success in order to create
the new world, the supramental world in its integrality.”
With my inner consciousness I understood immediately: a few
hours later the creation was gone... and from that moment we
started anew on other bases.
