Cross-referencesCR1. Quote from 1979-0114 Public Program (Hindi), Day 1, Satya kā Anveṣhaṇa (Exploration of Truth), Biralā Krīṛā Keṃdra, Chowpatty, Girgaum Chowpatty, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India: "When I first went to England in nineteen sixty-five [1965 (1964)], I wondered whether that country was under some calamity. Such a cold wind, such snow, sharp piercing wind, gets inside your body and pokes all over and fills the body with pain. People cover themselves with heavy capes and then only can they move. Then only you can go out. No one can live under a tree in London. No one can live in huts in London. You cannot sit in your house unless it is heated."CR2. Quote from 1979-0524 Public Program, Seeking and Rationality, Caxton Hall, 10 Caxton Street, Westminster, London, UK: "And when uh such a thing starts you start doubting, you see. So you go into a doubting state.
Then you have to rise up to doubtless awareness, when it is a slow moving thing.
Like say, from ... from here to I have to go to America, I can go just in a straight line, everything. Otherwise if there is a slow moving thing, then you know by, if I go by, say, a ship then I can go by uh touching all your ports, Liverpool, this, that, and then go to America.
So if it is a slow moving thing, then, maybe, that maturity takes time."

Mother also told us She liked Liverpool very much and its people."R3. 2024-0128 WhatsApp message from Mrs. Kalpana Srivastava to CCT: "We were in London on 27th May 1964.
