DAILY MESSAGES
Series II
901) The
hostile forces, as they are, are forces of destruction; when transformed they are great forces for
construction. This is so because at bottom the hostile forces are forces of
creation, negative only in human
perception. p 902) HE says what evolves must be
involved and what is involved must
evolve. Neither is true with the Absolute. It is true to rationality. As HE limits Himself to our
rationality, it is HIS way of ministering to our rationality. p 903) When we say every man must get married, get
employed, must survive, we are
limiting him to a social goal which is not true in a wider context. µ 904) Desiring to please inefficient,
undeserving, egoistic people with a reward of life that circumvents their
shortcomings, one feels it is out of a generous impulse. µ 905) Rarely one succeeds. In successful events
there arises a rare exception where the beneficiary develops the ego of not
accepting any reward, thus frustrating the generous impulse of the altruistic man. µ 906) Mother’s
Avatar constantly finds itself in that untenable position. p 907) When the ego dissolves, the individual is
universalised. The moment ego gives way, the psychic emerges. When ego
disappears, the immutable self is reached. Mother
says when the physical ego dissolved, SHE found herself left with only
Satchidananda. All these statements obviously imply there are grades of ego,
revealing grades of wideness or height. & 908) The universe being vital, the Individual
spreads all over the universe when the vital ego dissolves. & 909) Mental ego’s dissolution helps man
transcend mind making him touch the Immutable Self. & 910) Existence being the origin of physical
matter, man meets with Satchidananda when the physical ego dissolves.s 911) Ego
being the force of Nature separating her from the soul of nature — the
psychic being — its dissolution reveals the psy-chic. p 912) Integration
itself can have several centres. For example, our being can become integrated
with mind or body as the centre. p 913) Integration
can be perfect too as the being centred in the psychic. p 914) The circulation of information keeps the
mental organisation of the vital
alive. In the society it serves a great purpose. What keeps the family alive is news of each member gladly
shared with all other members. µ 915) When good news is as well organised in its
spread as the gossip or bad news, society will begin to evolve at the level
of vital mind. µ 916) When you think, you see the thought which
is the working of the mind, not the
mind itself. To see the mind one has to stand
back from it. µ 917) Man
will do the right thing, avoid the wrong acts. The Divine will not avoid the
wrong acts, but will do them with the right attitude. p 918) Doing things with the right attitude for
Man is consecration, the right attitude being ‘for the sake of the Divine’. & 919) Transformation
is not something that comes at the end of a
long process of several years or decades; it is something to be done here and now in the act that is on
hand. p 920) It
is true that transformation comes at the end, but it is equally true that unless we begin right
now, it remains a non-starter. It goes on behind our surface unknown to us. p 921) We
know a time duration is needed for any accomplishment. It is true when you are acting in the plane
of time. Then you have to exert your
capacities or overcome your past inabilities or both. No such duration is really needed. p 922) Good will moves at once what a ten year
effort fails to do.µ 923) Having faith in the Grace, you don’t have
to overcome karma because Grace wipes
out karma. & 924) By letting Super Grace act, no time
duration is necessary for
accomplishment because time duration is needed only for your capacities at work. & 925) Nature working in the plane of Time
collects karma. µ 926) He who has faith lets Grace act and it
wipes out the past accretions. & 927) But he who surrenders not only allows Grace
to wipe out karma but does not come forward to exercise his capacities thus
allowing Super Grace to deliver the goods at once. & 928) Surrender attracts Super grace. Faith
attracts Grace. Work
attracts karma. & 929) We
understand that petty desire stands in the way of aspiration and surrender. This is a truth of life. The
greater truth here is the higher the aspect is in spirit, the lower it turns
in manifestation. p 930) As the relative is the Absolute, the petty
desire is the Ananda. & 931) Rejection
of petty desire is right; suppression helps; transformation is the best. p 932) To
transform the petty desire into Ananda one has to change his view, refuse to give the response of
desire, refuse to respond from the
centre of desire. p 933) Even
after we move to the psychic centre, remnants of petty desire will arise as vibrations. Instead of
moving back to desire and responding
as such, one has to remain firm in the psychic, precisely find the psychic response and
act. p 934) Such
an act will still wear the appearance of fulfilment of petty desire, but as
it is transformed, it will issue Ananda. Disregard the outer appearance,
value the inner content. p 935) When
you move to the psychic centre, the external atmosphere changes so that no petty desires come to
you. This is normal but a small
result. p 936) Even
after going to the psychic centre, the continued presentation of petty desire
from outside indicates that Ananda comes to you as petty desire. It turns out
to be Ananda or petty desire as you respond. p 937) At
a further stage of spiritual progress, your response from your inner higher
status, in spite of its character, turns any
act including the fulfilment of petty desire into an expression of
Ananda. p 938) As the actor can forget himself in the
action and man can forget himself in the work, we forget ourselves in the
existence and see ourselves as existence. & 939) To
know ourselves separate from existence is self-awareness. p 940) To
perceive that we are lost in existence is itself a measure of self-awareness and is its
beginning. p 941) He
who completes this beginning is the self-realised soul. p 942) Mind
is able to think because the emotions are not on the surface and the body is
quiet and still. p 943) For
the spirit to act, it is obvious that the mind must become still. p 944) For
the Divine to act through us, Jivatman should be still, rather surrender itself to the Divine. p 945) For any part of the being to act
effectively, lesser parts of the being should subordinate themselves to it
and relinquish their capacity to initiate action. µ 946) The subconscious skill of the fingers in
typing or playing piano is the learning of the physical part of the body
consciousness.µ 947) When Mother says SHE sees with eyes open — the
physical vision — it is the spirit in the physical consciousness seeing. & 48) The
learning of the body lies in several levels, the physical, the vital, the
mental and spiritual. p 949) As nothing can manifest which is not there
in the Absolute, everything in the
world is justified on its own account. The
first cause of disturbance is the inter-relations; the second cause will be the initiative we take. & 950) We
can say all the relations and all the initiatives are |
