<p class="para">In her <i>Prayers and Meditations </i>Mother wrote under the date September 25, 1914:
</p>
<blockquote>
	<blockquote>
<p class="para">The Lord has willed and thou dost execute: </p>
<p class="para">A new Light shall break upon the earth. </p>
<p class="para">A new world shall be born, </p>
<p class="para">And the things that were promised shall be fulfilled.
</p>
	</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p class="para">Subsequently, after a lapse of more than forty years, under the date February 29 - March 29, 1956, she introduced a change in the statement, in respect of the tense used. She rewrote it in this form:
</p>
<blockquote>
	<blockquote>
<p class="para">Lord, Thou has willed, and I execute: </p>
<p class="para">A new light breaks upon the earth, </p>
<p class="para">A new world is born. </p>
<p class="para">The things that were promised are fulfilled. </p>
	</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p class="para">The change of tense was needed because of the change in the situation. There has been a radical change in the actualities of the situation. Mother herself explains in another message communicated after about a month under the date April 24, 1956:
</p>

The manifestation of the Supra mental upon earth is no more a promise but a living tact, a reality.

She speaks repeatedly of her vision and declares most emphatically that the new world is born, born, born—as it were, thrice born 
<i>(&quot;il est né, né, né&quot;). </i>It is there behind, it is moving, threading past all the obscurities that hide it, but in a manner indomitable and invincible: the outer weight of ignorance cannot hold it down eternally.

Progress continues: the Mother declares under the date February 3, 1958—that is to say, after the lapse of about two years—a momentous declaration, the arrival of a full-fledged supramental boat at the shore of earth. Its mission was to carry within it human beings who were ready for the supramental life. The description of the whole scene was so beautiful, so graphic, so alluring that on reading it a young girl from outside wrote to the Mother that she would like to be a passenger on the boat and prayed to the Mother for admission. Mother explains that the substance of which this new world was made was the most material supramental, the supramental substance nearest to the physical world, its first manifestation.

Once again she affirms the reality of her vision in the message she gave to her children on the New Year Day of 1961:

Naturally, this is not the end, the culmination. One step has still to be taken—matetial matter too has to be touched and remoulded—and that means a hiatus, a time-lag, in the end. I he process of creation always follows this line: a thing to

<p class="para">be created or embodied upon earth is first created in a subtle world. When it is ready, ready-made in that world, then it precipitates itself upon the material world, slowly or gradually or suddenly, according to the cosmic will. An illustration to explain the point-the Mother herself gives it:

Once, asked about the liberation of India, sometime in 1915 when India was completely in bondage, she answered without the least hesitation, &quot;India is free.&quot; She did not say, &quot;India will be free&quot;, she said simply, &quot;India is free&quot; as though stating an actual fact. The physical fact however came about in the year 1947, that is to say, 32 years after the thing happened in the subtle world. Mother comments that that is the exact image of the resistance to the manifestation, the physical realisation.

Not merely creation, but destruction also happens in the same way. Destruction first occurs in the subtle world and as a consequence physical destruction inevitably takes place. Sri Krishna in the Gita tells Arjuna: All these troops ranged against you have already been killed by me, you have only to be the instrument or the excuse: <i>Mayaivaite nihat</i>&#257;<i>h p</i>&#363;<i>rvameva.</i>

Savitri is coming back to earth to her normal life. She has made her final conquest. And with the whole world of the new conquest, the embodied Life Divine within her, she enters the earth-life, but with a veil drawn upon herself and her achievement. The &quot;one day more&quot; is yet to be done, the one day made of material matter. She is not to disclose herself till that one day is done. The curtain is down now, but behind it lies the whole edifice she has built up, in its entire unflawed beauty and fulfilment. At present outwardly we see before us the arena of a grey dangerous world, as of old. The curtain will surely roll up and reveal what it hides,

<p class="para">slowly, or perhaps the shell of the old may burst open all of a sudden and bring forth the new life full and entire. How will it happen—the Revelation, the Epiphany? The event will show. In the meantime, the New Creation, a &quot;greater dawn&quot;, she holds within herself, &quot;Deep guarded by her mystic folds of light.&quot;
