DAILY MESSAGES
Series II
651) Strength
that evokes that response from weakness is capable of penetrating into the
weakness and touching the strength that is the seed of the weakness. p 652) He
who prays to God for a particular result appears to deflect HIS will. Evolution is to raise the
course of Life towards Ascent and Integration. Prayer for any result is
evolution for the common man. p 653) The
shortest route to solving a problem or evoking a positive response to prayer
is to locate our greatest weakness, whether it is related to the problem or
not, and try to wean ourselves a shade away from it, or to locate our
greatest strength and endeavour to raise it a shade better. p 654) To
shed the ego, one should have crossed the Time dimension as the temporal
ignorance is prior to the egoistic ignorance. p 655) Errors
can be rectified by reversing; errors that issue out of Grace cannot thus be
reversed without being damaged. They must be corrected at a higher level. p 656) A
devotee with deep faith can say, “Nothing wrong will happen to me”; but the
yogi cannot say that. Instead, he can only say, “All that happens to me is
Good.” p 657) Grace
responds to the call. As far as Man is concerned, CALL is GRACE. p 658) When
I think, I am the thought. When I stop thinking, Silence settles in.
Persisting in it helps you move the psychic in the mind which alone can
surrender the thought. Hence Man’s part is to stop thinking. p 659) The ego wants to excel others even in the
project of dissolving the ego. µ 660) Force
separates from consciousness and seeks experience unconsciously. The essence
of that experience is the Psychic which reunites the Force with consciousness
at a higher level. p 661) The
psychic is the consciousness of the Force in evolution. p 662) Ridicule is the dying society’s powerful
vital weapon when it has lost the Physical effectivity. µ 663) The
literature of the world has portrayed love of the higher vital, not the psychic
love. Psychic love moves towards the Divine, not another human being. p 664) Psychic
love is self-existent, does not need another for its existence or expression.
Its expression is unconditional, not determined by a particular relationship.
p 665) The love of Romeo and Juliet is the
passionate vital love; that of Dante for Beatrice is sublimated higher
emotions of the heart in the human context. µ 666) That
love which seeks fulfilment in a particular relationship and is passionately
longing for that relationship does not
issue from the Psychic. p 667) Psychic
sadness issues not from the absence of the object of love or an object of love, but its
inability to fulfil itself in the
environment. p 668) Man’s seeking in the woman is the emotional
identification which gives intensity
to his life enjoyment. It is mostly a
social emotion and at the base in a small way a psychological emotion. It has nothing to do with psychic
emotion which is devo-tion. µ 669) Devotion
raises one to spiritual regions and away from the human context. To search for the expression
of psychic love in the human context
is not a fruitful venture. p 670) 671) Fear of invisible forces caused the
superstition of the 19th century. Fear of social disapproval causes
superstition now in the scientists. µ 672) Relying on pure reason, scientists emerged
out of the earlier superstition. Now
the scientist must emerge out of the protective vital envelopment that is security in the social
fabric. µ 673) Love
personalised is delight. Delight impersonalised is Love. p 674) Gratitude
is the individualised Delight. p 675) Soul
recognising the Divine is Faith. p 676) Mind
perceiving the Divine is Knowledge. p 677) Vital
recognising the Divine is worship. p 678) Physical
recognising the Divine is obedience. p 679) The
higher vital recognising the Divine is adoration. p 680) The
Psychic’s first recognition of the Divine gives rise to self-giving. p 681) The
sensation of self-giving is Delight. p 682) The
psychic substance receiving the Divine is Love. p 683) Love
saturating the consciousness generates ecstasy. p 684) When
the psychic substance is saturated with the Divine, it offers surrender. p 685) Existence
expressing itself becomes conscious. p 686) Consciousness exerting itself is Force. & 687) The
sensation of Force creating is Ananda. p 688) Force
comprehending itself is Real-Idea. p 689) Real-Idea
apprehending itself is Ignorance. p 690) Ignorance
seeking the knowledge hidden inside itself is Mind. p 691) Mind sensing Force in action is Life. & 692) Sense becoming insensitive through inaction
is Matter. & 693) Matter
sensing the indwelling spirit is higher life. Doing it unconsciously is human
life. p 694) Matter
becoming conscious of the spiritual term inherent in it is evolution of consciousness and the
first step of it is Matter showing signs of sensation. p 695) Matter is the form of Force. Force becoming
conscious of the spiritual term in
Matter is spiritual evolution. & 696) Consciousness
becoming conscious of the spiritual term in the Force is knowledge. p 697) Sensing
of it is Delight felt by the psychic awareness. p 698) A
full act initiated by that sense is self-giving. p 699) Psychic
sadness is the route through which desire, particularly petty desire, seeks
delight. p 700) Psychic
sadness changing into psychic Joy is the beginning of the complete detachment of the evolving
Soul. p |
