Note : Not all records of The Mother's words are equally reliable. Apart from statements written in the Mother's own hand, or verified and signed by Her, the conversations which have been entered by Satprem in the "Mother's Agenda" have been tape-recorded and are thus unquestionable. Other statements and conversations have been noted from memory by various disciples and sometimes present obvious discrepancies.
