DAILY
MESSAGES Series III 701)
Anger
is the force of defensiveness of the impotent. ÷Põ£® C¯»õø©°ß
PÁ\®. 702)
Shame
is the sensitivity of the social emotion defending itself against devotion to
the Divine. öÁmP® £UvUSz
uøh. 703)
Knowing
the theory of practice and learning how to practise the theory make the
knowledge integral. 704)
Shame
is the sensitivity of Imperfection jealously guarding its treasure as a close
preserve. 705)
Surrender,
to issue the joy of self-discovery should become a sensation, because joy is
a sensation. 706)
To
appreciate the value of divine opportunity one should fully know the
treacherous pitfalls of life. 707)
Forms
do not intermingle, forces which generated the Forms do. Form that loses
itself to become the original Force admits the higher Force to mingle with
itself, creating thereby receptivity. [i] 708)
Man
pursues desires, enjoys preoccupation, loses himself in being occupied,
chases dissipation or concentrates on an ideal. Surrender is something that
cannot be followed by the partial energies of a person; it needs all the
concentrated energy fully focused on it all the time. One can take to
surrender when it is more attractive and enjoyable than desires or
dissipation. 709)
Surrender
becomes possible when: ± you KNOW that
everything you seek outside IS there inside; ± you FEEL
every enjoyment you seek outside IS there inside in greater measure, and ± you are
certain that every accomplishment you go in for outside is not there but is there inside only. \õuøÚ ¦Ózv¼Àø»,
APzv¾ÒÍx. 710)
The
body, the vital, and the mind do need rest when they are working against the
grain, not when they are expansive in the work. Work that is expansive expresses the inner spirit. As greater
energy is being released all the time, rest is no valid concept. 711)
When
opinions are right they limit the scope of infinite consciousness; when they
are wrong they constrain the finite consciousness. \›¯õ°¸¢uõ¾® uÁÖ. 712)
To
serve selfishness is worse than being selfish because this service issues out
of the servility of a selfish person. 713)
The
greatest of delights God has conceived of was Self-Discovery having given
himself up in surrender that is forgetfulness. 714)
The
greatest of delights Man can seek is by the exercise of his whole being which
is centred in his motive. Something greater than that is to surrender its exercise
in favour of being possessed by That to which this surrender is made. 715)
The
greatest effectivity or accomplishment is determined by the height of
conscious awareness expressed in action. The Absolute is open to us to be
aware of. ÂȨ¤ß E¯ºÄ \õuøÚø¯ {ºn°US®. 716)
The
end result, the accomplishment is a pyramid. Its base is the endowment of the
personality composed of inheritance, upbringing and self-acquirement. Its
height is fixed by the personal effort. The result emerges in the social
atmosphere that permits. _£õÁ•® •¯Ø]²®
\õuøÚø¯ \‰PzvÀ {ºn°UQÓx. 717)
When
we accept Mother as final, we have a way of making our acceptance final.
Surrender begins when that reverses. 718)
A
source of enjoyment when it is willing and expands its capacity to give joy
in the process of enjoying makes the finite life one of infinite vitality.
That happens when the psychic surfaces. AÝ£Á®
BÚ¢u©õÚõÀ, ]Ô¯x ö£›¯uõS®. 719)
There
are two facets in man’s life, one which he cherishes himself unseen and the
other he cherishes to be seen. They are either opposite or different. In the
measure they become one, the height of his accomplishment rises. ©øÓÁx®, ©»ºÁx® Cøn¢u \õuøÚ. 720)
In
practice, one can look back on his deathbed, what he has achieved was really
his subconscious ambition or aspiration. 721)
Enjoyment
physically overflows on the eve of death showing death is not a painful event
for the being. Maybe it is so for the body. 722)
Only
a higher part in us can accept Mother easily. Mind or vital will not find it
so easy to accept Her. Those in whom the soul has surfaced can accept Mother. 723)
Mind
says, ‘I accept Mother’. It is only words, not real acceptance. The soul’s
acceptance is by falling silent and calm expressing joy. 724)
Physiological
values disregard the sociological value of men even as psychological values
do. The spirit’s scale of values evaluate men from the point of view of the
spiritual experience it seeks where all souls are alike. Social,
psychological as well as physiological values do not count in that context.
In fact, in that scale of values men, plants, animals and matter are on a par
with each other. 725)
Men
are centred in the vital or mind, some in the body. All his actions are in reference to that
plane. He who wishes to consecrate his actions must first shift himself to the spiritual plane. 726)
Vital,
mental and bodily planes act through the surface whereas the spiritual plane
acts through the subliminal. To consecrate one’s actions to the psychic in
the subliminal plane is not possible as long as we are on the surface. 727)
Consecration
begins when we move away from the surface and vice versa. 728)
The
Force, if it should succeed at any level of population, should evoke a
response from its vital, especially the lower vital and be supported by the
physical muscular power even as Tamilnadu was ruled by the vital forces in
politics particularly because the brute force always accompanied it. 729)
When
one launches himself into consecration, he would accomplish in the next one
hour what his entire past did not achieve. 730)
No
part of the being is capable of being spiritualised just because spirit
surfaced through that part innumerable times. 731)
For a
part to be spiritualised, the essence of spiritual experience of that part
must collect as an entity and awake itself. 732)
30,000
years can be abridged into 30 years means it will be done so by an effort
that is aspiration whose intensity is 1000 times greater. 733)
When
moving from a plane to a higher plane, the intensity rises enormously. Moving
from mind to psychic and acting only from there will give the required
intensity. 734)
The
uneducated spectator in the Parliament cannot know the ultimate truth of the
constitution of the government. He can even believe that the PM is appointed
by the Speaker. 735)
All
philosophers who explain God, creation, Yoga or Life are really those who
first touch the pinnacle of an experience in terms of which explanations
issue. Experience First -- Explanations next. Explanations
never lead to experiences; they lead to further explanations. AÝ£Á® •ß÷Ú, uzxÁ® ¤ß÷Ú. 736)
Ego,
Mind, Surface, Time, Space, finite all go together. 737)
Intellectual
explanations not based on experience can always go wrong unless they are
logical and rational. 738)
Logic of the finite and human rationality
have a self-sufficiency, a sense of self-righteousness that look like
self-evident truth until they knock against the rock of Facts of Existence, known as realities of life. ]Ô¯uß A®\[PÒ
I¢x. uºUP® ¯uõºzuzvÀ Pøµ²®. 739)
Great
men wake up at such revelations. Other men try excess of logic. 740)
The
rock-like ego has several stances. One is a feeling of helplessness, the
other is the feeling of being pushed to the wall; the third is a subconscious
mechanism that puts it out of your mind. Life, as it is fully organised at
that level acts readily in response to take one away from the scene. ¯uõºzu•®, AP¢øu²® ©ø»PÒ, JßÖ §ªUS ÷©¾® Akzux Ph¾ÒЮ
AªÌ¢xÒÍx. 741)
It is
always a higher knowledge, a knowledge of the soul, a mental aspiration that
comes to the rescue, maybe decades after. 742)
The
guru who gives that jnana, knowledge, is Bz© S¸, one who
opens your Atma. 743)
The
event that knocks at your door for that purpose is an event of spiritual
luck. 744)
The
half-awakened aspirant, who lives in Mother’s spiritual atmosphere plays hide
and seek with such gurus and such events by attracting them by his inner
ripeness and refusing them by his outer blindness. 745)
Emotion
of gratitude opens oneself to Grace when the body thrills at such moments. 746)
The
wife who in spite of being satisfied on all scores finds fault with the
husband for the one thing that is missing is one who seeks to dominate him. 747)
The wife
who lives in abominable conditions and who adores the husband for one strong
endowment is one who wishes to be dominated. 748)
Man’s
essentials are governed by his inner nature, not even character, but his
outer social life is presided over by his behaviour or manners. 749)
The
extent to which one’s personal character is restrained by the demands of his
public behaviour determines the force of civilisations. 750)
The
extent to which one’s public behaviour accommodates his inner urges
determines the growth of his inner culture. |

[i] Receptivity is the form losing itself to become the original force to permit the higher force to enter into it.
