AppendixfnThese notes, found among the Mother’s manuscripts, seem to relate to the typal meditation described on pp. 28–29.

Love: For the Being, because he is the Being independent of all contingencies and individuals.

Pity: One no longer feels suffering for oneself, but only for others.

Sympathy: To suffer with the world, to share suffering (to suffer with).

Serenity: Perfect knowledge of the state in which all suffering disappears (individual experience).

*

Love: For the being in his entirety without distinction of good or evil, light or darkness.

Pity: For all weakness and all bad will.

Sympathy: Towards effort, encouragement, collaboration.

Serenity: Hope in the ending of suffering (knowing one’s individual experience, one logically infers that it can be generalised and become the experience of all).

*

Love: Without distinction of past, present or future.

Pity: For the life of pain.

Sympathy: Understanding of everything, even of evil.

Serenity: Certitude of the final victory.

Three active attitudes, one passive attitude; three external relationships with the all, one inner relationship. A state to be maintained throughout the whole meditation: Serenity in love, sympathy and pity.
