extreme situations of tension or conflict. I had the impressionthat it was all there, that every human impulse waspresent, but that all these states played their part withinan absolute freedom, remaining latent and unevoked. Inthis way, their vital force came to nourish each of our acts.There were no outbreaks of anger, desire, passion, sexuality,love, presence, or compassion. Nor was there the resorptionof these forces following the short crises we're soaccustomed to.Devi didn't pass from one to the other. There was neitherrising nor falling, neither exhaustion nor rechargingof energy. These feelings existed simultaneously in her. Hersmallest gesture drew upon the entire human palette. Itwas as if her look were saturated with an ageless humanity,lacking nothing.The feeling of very deep veneration that I had for Devifreed me in some way from all exterior signs of respect; at thesame time, each of my gestures was imbued with it. I hadbefore me at all times a being who seemed to live on all planessimultaneously, and whose spontaneity was such that the earthand sky seemed grateful to her. Her gentleness, power, freshness,wisdom, almost childlike enthusiasm for the world, andsupreme knowledge were always obvious and were expressedin the smallest gesture, the least facial expression.For the first time we slept naked together.

Onthe contrary, hour by hour, our bodies seemed to be chargedwith cosmic electricity so that even brushing lightly againsteach other made us tremble from head to foot.146
