DAILY MESSAGES

Series III

401) One of the greatest secrets of this yoga, maybe the greatest secret, is described as Sensing in oneself Knowledge emerging out of Ignorance.

In other words, as only the psychic can sense that emergence, the secret turns out to be what is well known, to bring the psychic to the surface.

402) The characteristic of the psychic emerging is joy. Should we feel the joy of seeking the psychic, we will be on the right track. Presently we feel joy in vitally egoistic dissipation. The key is to shift from here to there.

403) Man is conscious because he has mind; hence we speak of his destiny. For his ascent to Supermind, for his evolution, he must become the spirit in his mind because only the spirit in his Mind can look back and recognise the spirit behind the heart. Presently his mind thinks and thought leads nowhere. For him to consecrate, the spirit in that mind should turn to the spirit inside.

Physical body acts and goes out.

Vital energy can act only outwardly.

Mental thought too can think and only think, an outgoing act.

Consecration is prakriti turning inward and surrendering to Purusha. Only the spirit in thought -- the psychic -- can turn around and look inside.

404) Conscious evolution at different levels means to raise the mental interest of understanding by choice, to raise the vital interest of enjoyment by conscious choice. The physical habit expresses itself irresistibly; to compel the physical to express itself through a higher habit is conscious evolution there.

Existence is by the understanding of the mind, interest of the vital and habit of the physical. Conscious efforts of the mind to comprehend a higher scheme of things, forge a better relationship or persuade the physical energy to withdraw from an existing habit to express through a higher habit are efforts through which the personality reorganises itself at a higher level which is evolution. As it is done consciously, it is conscious evolution. This is a parallel to the Infinite's self-conception which created the form and impregnated it with the energy of the content so that it may evolve through a process and rhythm.

Man repeating the function of Infinite's creation of form at his level to raise Nature's expression of energy is conscious evolution.

405) Years of experience and reasoning based on it give us the right knowledge for action. Still the strength for action is wanting. Either waiting further or calling Mother gives that strength. Ability to consecrate changes the atmosphere, makes things happen and then it is possible to know that process.

406) As the social person responds to prestige more than money, the DEVOTEE responds more to the spiritual touch of Mother than to prestige or even money.

407) During dhyana when the senses fall off, suddenly the active reason free from the senses turns intuitive. It is bõ÷Úõu¯®, revelation or inspiration.

408) Expectation is reasoning based on unreality.

409) Each time the mind sees a law or tries to deduce a law, suspension of that mental effort gives place to the intuitive flash. That way, we turn reason into intuition by consecration.

410) Vital desire punishes the guilty; reason defends itself and refuses to punish; intuition tries to reward the guilty for the enlightenment it received. Rising beyond intuition, strength rises preventing anyone from doing wrong to you.

411) God gives you the occasion to shed the psychological conditioning -- morality, ethics, sensibility etc. Because you threw to the winds social conditioning, why do you lament instead of rejoicing? (1956)

412) The enjoyment of Ignorance is like the enjoyment of superstition, fear and the insecurity of poverty. If anything excels, it is the utter fulfilment one feels in being fully organised in selfishness. It is symbolised by the desire for popularity in the social plane you have left far behind or the desire for wreaking vengeance against ancient rivals.

413) Emerging out of Ignorance into knowledge is emerging out of thought into Silence, sensation into energy and from physical sensation into power.

414) People are mental, subtle, spiritual, and rarely evolutionary. Mental persons can fully absorb the thought of Sri Aurobindo from His writings as they are produced by His intellectual activity. Subtle people best benefit from a stay in Pondicherry or better still in the centre of Ashram service. Surrender is The Method most suited to spiritually awakened souls when they give up their own methods of mantra, asana etc. Evolutionary people are those who have the Call and thus they are the children of Mother. She does the sadhana in them, for them.

415) When mind asks for something, it comes forward to deny another, like Babur, because mind concedes the existence of one only at the expense of another. Spirit has both, has no need to deny.

416) Every man responds more to God than for material benefits or psychological enjoyment. It is not only man, every object does so. We are blind not to see man's God in money and material prosperity.

418) To appreciate The Life Divine, one needs to experience emerging from Ignorance. It is the Supreme which seeks to discover His lost self by this emergence. Therefore he who experiences that emerging is the Supreme at that moment.

419) The principle of Silent Will is to achieve more by a greater inner exertion. This holds good in every plane till the Absolute.

If you don't speak, the other man speaks your thoughts.

If you restrain from action, the other acts.

If thoughts are not expressed, Silence expresses.

Refusing to be conscious, one moves into Existence.

Refuse to Exist, you are moved into the Absolute.

420) Supramental reason is reason that acts after shedding sensation, emotion and intellectuality.

421) AhUP® Aß¤ß Bß«P E¸Á®(AÇS¸Á®).

Humility is the spiritual FORM of Love.

422) As Matter is the objective form of subjective Being, thought is the external aspect -- objective form -- of Silence. Going from thought to Silence is moving from the surface to the depth.

423) Life makes you work hard and rise inch by inch. Grace suddenly opens and gives, asking you to work to deserve it. Super Grace simply GIVES the end result.

424) The tapasvi strains for years for a little result. Mother gives the result and expects you to strain to hold on to it. Your accepting Mother as the most desirable thing in this world and the other, makes you receive the final result.

425) As THEY have come on earth seeking man, instead of his seeking Them, THEY give the result first. Whether you endeavour to deserve it or effortlessly possess it depends upon whether you go to Her or allow Her to possess you.

426) Life is karma. Turning to Mother is grace. Allowing yourself to be possessed by HER is Super Grace.

427) To grow out of the social conditioning or authority into psychological authority has a parallel in the idea of an individual supplying all his needs himself instead of getting them from the society which is the easier of the two.

428) MARVEL;

It is disgusting to you because IT openly wishes to destroy you and enjoy the very process of destruction. What it thus destroys is what you can never destroy yourself, your ego. Consenting to that destruction, rather courting that destruction, better still enjoying it, you are liberated from your ego and the MARVEL discloses itself.

Things that you can so count:

The disgust.

Immaturity.

Unpardonable politeness that aims at not accomplishing.

Offending treacherous selfishness.

All of them can do greater service than the crooked evil has rendered.

429) Rejection of thoughts results in Silent Brahman whereas surrender of thoughts results in Silence in the body. Thoughts are rejected from the thinking mind to achieve Silent Brahman while their origin in the body is left untouched. Surrender of thoughts removes or dissolves the thoughts in their very roots in the body. Thus the Silence reaches the body.

430) When the psychic is reached through bhakti, it can lead to moksha and not to transformation. For the psychic to yield transformation, we should reach it through consecration. Bhakti reaches the emotional psychic and not the central psychic being.

431) Silent Will is converting objective action into a subjective state.

432) When your surest method fails, it means you have overcome the need for it.

433) Mental maturity of man recognising the stability of social organisation represents money.

434) Standing on the border of Self-discovery, the point at which knowledge emerges from Ignorance, one realises that it is not given to the human guru to lead you across. Only the Inner Guru can do it.

435) The human guru who has dissolved his ego, has realised the Inner Guru. He can lead one to the Inner Guru.

436) To feel an outrage, a disgust, even an unease at one doing to you what you are doing in copious measure to another --- even to the very same person -- is a response of the ego. No mantra, no method, no human guru can help you at this point. This is that threshold that opens on to the Inner Guide. Give up thoughts, considerations, methods etc. and turn to the Inner Guide. The outrage, disgust, unease will cease and turn into HIS eternal joy.

437) The vital mind realising God will be selfish, if not egoistic, even as the physical realising Love wants to receive in the beginning. The truth of breaking the social, moral principles such as chastity, honesty, etc. will dawn on him in the measure it is advantageous to himself.

438) The unconscious effort of 30,000 years can be abridged in 30 years, says HE. Calling Mother accomplishes it. Hence calling Mother is to abridge 30 years into three months.

443) HE always said to Purani, "Raise your thinking centre above the head."

444) Calling destroys sensitivities and converts life into HIS marvel.

445) When calling becomes a soul's attitude -- a way of life -- one finds:

· complaints cease;

· others' indulgence is as sweet as one's own;

· selfishness changes into selflessness seeing that all is in each, not only each in all;

· God's touch in the strangling hands is seen;

· the subconscient hell ceases to be so;

· higher ideas are communicated in Silence and are not made infructuous by speech.

446) The vital that has generously or insensitively forgotten a great wrong done to it, has the capacity to ruminate over a small injustice and grow very sensitive and self-righteous about it.

447) Imperfection is as great a power as Perfection. When Perfection grows consciously, Imperfection, keeping up the balance from its side, gives birth to the above sensitivity.

448) Sadness is vital ignorance.

449) Mental ignorance is cured either by knowledge or by ignorance becoming familiar, if curing means it doesn't bother.

450) Vital ignorance is cured, i.e. it is prevented from being a bother, by the ignorant act repeating itself till it becomes familiar. Such a familiarity can rise even by the first repetition.
