Series II                   

751)   Efforts to surrender thoughts or feelings are ineffective or stiff when a central light remains uncreated. p

752)   Consecration becomes a possible exercise only when we centre in the jivatman and catch hold of every movement of prakriti to be offered by it  to the Transcendent. Without that centre it is a futile exercise. p

753)   One index of patience is not to be disturbed by the impatience of others. µ

754)   An idea can become Real-Idea when the Force in the idea becomes conscious. p

755)   Making a mental idea Real-Idea is one aspect of yogic  practice. p

756)   Emotions accepting an idea makes the idea more powerful but  does not make it Real-Idea, since the force in the idea is not yet  compelling. p

757)   When the Force in the emotion becomes conscious and integrates with it so as to allow each a right to compel the other, an  emotional idea becomes Real-Idea. p

758)   As one in the grip of an irresistible desire is unable to  know of the world outside, we should forget the world in the grip of  aspiration. p

759)   Our present is not grateful for the past labours which made  this possible. That being the case, how can we complain against  the ingratitude of others? µ

760)   Gratitude is the present appreciating our past endeavours  that made the present possible. µ

761)   Even when we recognise our strengths in the past, we refuse  to be grateful for our past weaknesses that brought catastro-phes over our heads while the truth is our present owes as much to them. µ

762)   In this sense, gratitude is the inability to be sorry for our low past. µ

763)   By extension, we can say gratitude is our inability to complain against others. µ

764)   Refusing to complain, refraining from regret, we recognise the Hand of God in every act. Recognition of His Presence is Grati- tude. &

765)   Deficiency in our aspiration is due to the fact that it is the mind, based on its conceptual appreciation, which aspires for The Mother. p

766)   Concepts are dry and the aspiration based on them is shallow  and short-lived. µ

767)   It is the emotion that can aspire with intensity though for short spells. µ

768)   Body when it appreciates, accepts fully and its aspiration is of the highest intensity and is there forever. Its substance  is ever-living while the emotional intensity appears only when the vital energy gathers. Mental concept comes forward when  memory brings it back. µ

769)   Knowledge of the whole being of The Mother, apart from including the aspirations of its past, is enriched by the fact of their being integrated. An extra dimension appears during the  process of integration. This dimension is centred in the psychic  generating sweetness by the absence of disharmony. p

770)   Sweetness is enriched harmony which is native to the psychic  by virtue of its integrating the experiences of the past, thus  eliminating the note of disharmony. p

771)   Parts of the being are at loggerheads which come down to disharmony when the parts are compelled to cooperate. Willing  cooperation of parts generates harmony. Unity of the parts enriches the  harmony. Integration completes the process of unity generating sweetness. Hence the psychic is sweet. p

772)   Physical needs, vital desires and mental perches are all to be fully met, if a man is not to work at cross purposes with himself. Presently man’s ills arise because they leave part of  his energy unoccupied through part of his needs remaining unmet. µ

773)   Mother’s higher life, being centred in the psychic, does not leave even a drop of his energy unutilised because only when all the  energies are focussed does the psychic emerge. p

774)   Also the psychic in the front keeps all his moments full. p

775)   Man is basically lazy as well as capable of making the maximum progress. &

776)   Man seeks only that progress which comes through enjoy-
ment.
µ

777)   Each individual has combined both these urges into a strategy suited to him as guidance for life. This becomes his motive, even a dominant motive. µ

778)   The collective man responding to national emergencies or a  new product responds from this centre of motive. µ

779)   The motive of the collective man is determined by the then  available collective security and the highest socially approved  of ambition or aspiration. µ

780)   Social institutions like marriage or academic degrees, products like car, personal emotions like submissive loyalty,  prestige, and patriotism have, in the past, been symbols of social  revolutions that brought great progress. µ

781)   In the past these symbols developed over the centuries. Now it is possible for the society to accept such a symbol in one year. µ

782)   When the thought of The Mother is more absorbing than any other thought; the emotion of seeking Her is more engrossing than any other  emotion; when the act of becoming The Mother is more challenging and  attractive than any other act, aspiration shapes inside. p

783)   A prayer is answered by the deity to which it is addressed. But  alongside there is another truth of the force of personality at the point  of its full organisation which has almost the power of a deity. Who has  answered the prayer varies. µ

784)   All prayers within the limits of this personality are, at their peak, answered by this organisation. Those which lie outside this limit are answered by the deity through this organisation.µ

785)   Prayers that remain unanswered either do not rise to the level of this personality organisation or do not reach the deity breaking through this limit. µ

786)   There are intense prayers which can reach any height but remain unanswered because within the personality there will be  another element cancelling the prayer. µ

787)   Calling Mother is our effort as long as it rises from any depth of the surface mind. Crossing that level, calling becomes non-stop and self-initiating. p

788)   When Mother becomes more fascinating than the thing that  attracts you most, the bhakta is born in you. p

789)   He says surrender means giving up of the being, consciousness, power and delight by the individual to the Divine Being. These four aspects are the end aspects of Existence,  Consciousness, Force and Bliss. If the human soul that offers the surrender stands apart from these four aspects, the Absolute that receives the surrender stands apart from the above four aspects. &

790)   Yogic trance takes the consciousness away from the gross body and its senses. Concentration in our yoga takes the centre of consciousness from the surface mind to the inner mind, rendering trance superfluous. p

791)   Knowledge of the past in the negative areas of personality is unwelcome as long as one perceives life as two strands, negative and positive. It is most welcome and helpful to those who have crossed moral and psychological notions of life and see  Life as a single whole. p

792)   Obsessions develop not because of the overwhelming power of the force  — money, sex, fear — but by the overwhelming attraction of these things  to the personality. µ

793)   An information or fact coming into the ken of mind if received by the apperceptive mass as it is becomes opinion. An analysis of the incoming material by the speculative mind can extract the idea in it. When consecrated, the incoming thought reveals the light inside us which it was moving to. p

794)   Expectation arises when energy overcomes essence, essence  of experience or essence of equality. µ

795)   Imagination is the faculty that captures the real possibility of the future. Fantasy is the capacity of the mind that can derive satisfaction from the unreal possibilities of the present. µ

796)   At each moment the will can be good, bad or neutral. To endeavour to make each will good will enables Mother to act better in us. p

797)   At least I know one man whose heart overflowing with goodwill unconsciously increased his income 10-fold and by the time  he was about to realise it, it became three times higher. Maybe we  can say that there is no greater joy than having constant good will. µ

798)   Concentrating in the vital, Mother’s consciousness generates  all known generous emotions during the period of concentration. They become permanent when the vital itself seeks Mother. Our aim is the whole being should seek Mother, possess Her and be possessed by Her. Concentration in the vital is a first step. p

799)   He who enjoys the 죺\®, touch of Mother on his being cannot enjoy anything anymore. p

800)   Mother’s consciousness makes delight the delight of the evolving soul that has felt the touch of the Self even as manifestation makes Bliss delight in the act of manifesting. p
