DAILY MESSAGES Series I 801) Aspiration is the dynamism of spiritual
evolution, even as concentration is the psychological instrument for Jnana
yoga. 802) Man is naturally lazy because work demands
concentration of physical energy. 803) Man loves dissipation because it is the
opposite of discipline that needs full vital concentration. 804) Man readily espouses social opinion, as the
formation of individual opinion requires enormous concentration of mental
energy. 805) Spiritual concentration which is tapas is
sought only by the rare few as it requires all the human energy to focus on
the higher centres on the planes above mind. 806) Aspiration that leads to surrender in Purna
yoga collects, focuses, and rises on the basis of full collection of all the
available evolutionary energy in the individual. No wonder aspiration is not
the natural state of many, even the rare chosen few. 807) He who finds DISCIPLINE enjoyable is meant
for yogic life. Man in life is one who enjoys dissipation. Discipline can be
energising and later can lose its structure to become an attitude and lose
its attitude to become consciousness, at which stage living is evolving. 808) Knowledge is the essence of experience
practical or theoretical. Wisdom is the result of the reflection of the
Spirit in that essence. 809) He who relates to the human environment
with dynamism progresses. One who relates to the Divine Existence with
aspiration, evolves. 810) Whether in yoga or in life when man comes
forward to exhaust doing what he knows and can, progress starts never to
stop. 811) Justice cannot be delivered through law or
rule. Injustice can be prevented by them. Justice can be meted out by law or
rule in the measure they are tempered with higher values of honesty,
discrimination and sensitivity to justice. 812) Consecration is made possible in the
measure Mind is able to accept the results according to Mother, in the
measure desire is dissolved and in the measure the body is willing not to
insist on the habit. 813) To spot out the smallness of the great is
possible though not many indulge in it. To discover the greatness of the
small one must be great himself. 814) It is a spiritual perception to see that
the small and great are equal in their origin. Purna yoga sees them equal in
their expression too. 815) War destroys the physical ego of the
nations. 816) Shame is the process of vital
self-awareness of public conduct. 817) Pain is the incident of the physical
tasting Ananda in the reverse. 818) Confusion is the mind's losing the
structures of present convictions and the state before achieving the next. 819) Sensitivity is the physical structure
expressing the vital attitude through age-long culture. 820) Energy is the Force expressing through a
part of being in its nascent state making it available for organising it into
power of action that can acquire a skill of work. 821) In a house where the head of the family has
the true attitude of service -- self-effacing, thoughtful acts from another
man's point of view pleasantly delivered and resourcefully reinforced -- the
servants offer genuine service. 822) Higher education changes superstition.
Cultural changes change sentiment. Altered view by altering consciousness
transforms matter. 823) Cruelty, insensitivity, jealousy, betrayal,
hatred, sentiment, prejudice are necessary mechanisms for growth at different
stages. Yoga itself is a human aspiration similar to these sentiments, not
indispensable to the unmanifest Absolute. 824) Man at each stage enjoys the appropriate
impulse of growth. Yoga is the impulse of evolution, not enjoyable by
mankind. 825) One can enjoy yoga when he identifies
himself with the Absolute in manifestation. In that sense any of the
above-mentioned impulses are enjoyable at those stages. 826) You are what you are identified with. Now
you are a vital or mental man; yoga will make you the evolving spirit. It is
still possible to be the evolving ABSOLUTE. Our ancestors had succeeded in
becoming the unmanifest ABSOLUTE; if so, to become the evolving ABSOLUTE is
possible for us. 827) To respond to the outer event is to be
human; to initiate inwardly without the outer occasion is to be the strong
human who accomplishes without fail. To cease to initiate from inside and
await the Divine Impulse from above is to be evolving according to HIS plan. 828. EwIäeÀ GÈl¼h{hbÊ, EwIwä sbÊJ ßwn. DbÊ sIäSn

is to commission the highest knowledge we have into action and to discipline
our most refractory faculty -- the lowest faculty -- to serve its cause. 830) The strategy of the Vedantic secret seeking
tantric aim is fashioned like that. The occult secret HE discovered is its
method. To find its own version for us is the SECRET in yoga. 831) Of all the capacities of man, his ability
to bend the new for serving the purposes of the old, to fulfil his lower aims
in the guise of his higher ideals, his ability to make God serve him in the
name of his service to God, stands out as a monumental capacity for
self-preservation, maybe self-deception. 832) The opening into the inner being comes when
we overcome the Ignorance on any score. As the surface being is the
expression of the inconscient energy, the movement away from the Ignorance
becomes a movement into the inner being. 833) When we are able to overcome what is
irresistible to us, God rises in us and is irresistible to nature. 834) Often the sishya has a greater faith than
the guru. At the highest level often the sishyas find it difficult to muster
as much faith as the Guru has in them. 835) Overcoming irresistibility, force becoming
conscious, moving from the surface to the depth, the inner being opening,
sacrifice face to face with Him, wide massive opening, complete consecration,
the spiritual being in the physical coming forward, dissolving of the ego, an
infinite patience that knows eternity is before you, rising above
contradictions, knowing we are immortal, the spirit moving matter, knowledge
of the process, reconciling the ‘One without a second’ with ‘All is Brahman’,
having a glimpse of That, reason freeing itself from senses, finding the
inner guru and several other things are the first steps into Yoga. 836) The world organisation is run by the rule
of Matter determining the Mind while creation and its evolution is based on
Mind determining Matter. Hence its reversal will unleash not manifold
progress but a multifold progress at the next higher level of evolution. 837) Nations, companies, families and
individuals will enter into evolutionary progress, as against progress within
their planes, if they accept to reverse their perceptions. 838) They are expressed in terms of manners,
behaviour, character, personality and values -- personal, psychological,
social, moral, spiritual values. 839) A drastic change is brought about in its
perception in one area and a practical reversal. The process of reversal will
be energising with evolutionary force and the results will be far-reaching,
mainly in changing the future perception. 840) That PROCESS of reversal is force becoming
conscious. It is to be Mother's Instruments when people bring about that
change in others. 841) Each level of life has its enjoyments and
disciplines. Not to enjoy them is a folly which is going to benefit no one.
It is common among men to imagine the disciplines of the next level and
foolishly practise it at their level. A child should play, a householder
should rightly enjoy the things meant for his enjoyment. 842) There is an evolutionary creation at any
given moment. That movement is THE MOTHER for us. 843) Enjoyment issues out of overcoming
difficulty or challenges. A greater enjoyment awaits in challenging oneself.
The individual soul in search of the greatest enjoyment loses its knowledge
in Ignorance so as to rediscover it. This is Lila. 844) Thought in the mind, the physical senses
that are the vital and the body’s movements constitute the external being.
For the inner being to open, thought in the mind should cease and one should
rise above senses in a still body. 845) Our past endowments even in their state of
purity are a bar to the new discipline. The worst habit of man is to admire
them. 846) We pray to Her to complete our surrender to
Her. She asks whether She should do it. Ordinarily, the human soul, being
human, submitting even our surrender to Her is the highest attitude. SHE
accords to us Divine Individuality and surrender is its part. After this,
resorting to the old attitude that sprang up from an unconscious state, allows
room for ego to usurp that gap. 847) To be able to accept the full
responsibility for our surrender is to fully surrender our ego and become an
adult in the yogic effort. 848) To be able to see the outer events --
positive and negative -- in terms of the inner is knowledge. The outer
positive expresses a correspondence, the negative expresses an inverse
correspondence. 849) When you are not able to see so, to remain
undisturbed is to have faith, resting only on the inner indications. 850) The welling up aspiration being
irresistible makes it intense aspiration which is Supramental vibration. |
