- (Dyuman, 1934:) “Mother,
S wanted to spend 20 minutes with me. That is not possible – not even 10 minutes regularly at a fixed hour. It is nothing but a vital demand on me; I cannot satisfy that. I can give her 2 or 3 minutes and not more.
(Mother:) It is not at all advisable to let her encroach like that upon you. The more she will get, the more she will want and finally, if she could, she would swallow you up.
- Mother, I do not think I should go to call her; if she comes to me I shall receive her. What do You say?
Keep quiet. You must not go to call her. She wants to annex you; this cannot be tolerated.”[1]
(Ambu, 1935:) “My lovely Ma,
I feel depressed.
(Mother:) It is the arrival of all these outsiders. Don't worry and keep quiet inside as much as you can and the depression will go.
Love and blessings to my dear faithful Baby”[2]
(Mother to students, 1953:) “But all the while you externalise yourself and all the while you bring back something from this externalisation; it is like something porous: a force goes out and then a force comes in. There are pulsations like that. And this is why it is so important to choose the environment in which one lives, because there is constantly a kind of interchange between what you give and what you receive. […] Those who live in a world of desires and passions, increase their vital receptivity so much at times that it reaches proportions very unpleasant to themselves and to their surroundings.”[3]
